I rampage the streets of San Francisco, Boris takes care of the rampaging in San Bruno.
By the way...hows it ride after the wires Boris?

 

Foget the buddies here, I want to know more about the females that can work on a G, "honey, can you change my oil and bring me a beer?"

 

Hey! Now I resent that... Just because I'm too weak to loosen a bolt... :P

My quick review of the grounding kit:

Immediate difference with the TCU/ECU wire installed. The MM shifts were a lot quicker and even smoother. The lag between the time you hit the lever and the time it shifts has been reduced by a large amount. It's still no manual tranny, but still very good for an auto.

I let a friend come on along for the drive and he saw the difference immediately. At first he was complaining about how it's all "snake oil" and what not. Well, now he's convinced that it's a good mod and he'll be getting a set of wires for himself soon.

Another friend of mines wanted to see the difference so I let him borrow the car for a spin. I sat in the car with him and watched him go at it. He currently owns an MT Acura CL. After driving the G with the grounding wires, he wants a G, and would even take an auto over the MT. The wires are that good.

I've noticed 2 things different after having the wires installed though. First is a good thing. The shifts feel a lot smoother now. Even in auto mode, the shifts aren't as rough as before, and shifts in MM are A LOT smoother. 2nd thing is that I've noticed that my crusing RPM seems to have increased by 100 or 200, but that could be my mind playing tricks on me. Right now, when I'm cruising at 80mph, I'm in the 3100-3200rpm range. I could have sworn it was right around 3000rpm before I had the wires installed. Is that the same for everyone?

Thanks for the great kit though GordGee. And the wire installation wasnt that hard. It was just figuring out where the wires go for the first time. After that part was done, the installation itself was easy. Rob did his install in like 20 minutes. So it's not ALL of the SF people that have problems with the wire installation XD

 

My G35 sedan is still stock and at 80mph it revs at about 3100rpms. So Myst, you're not imagining things. =p

 

And I did that with a FAT hang over!!!!! ****, I just rolled out of the Hotel Bed when I got there.

 

Gord, this is exactly where I sent the payment (again).

If you don't have it by Monday, please let me know and I will check the status with my bank.

 

"Indigenous People's Day" - For all the PC people and folks who say Columbus didn't discover America and that there were "Native Indians" already here... makes sense to me.

Maybe "Halloween" should be correctly changed to "Sugar-Rush Day"...

 

I finally remembered to check my rpm at 80mph. Why is it that I'm only running at 2850rpm? Is there a difference in gearing between years? For reference, I have a 2004.5 AT sedan.

 

Hey, Danny, did you finally get the rest of your wires installed?

 

I apologize for the inconvenience, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Somebody at USPS really doesn't like me. What is weird is that they are not getting to you, and not being returned to the sender (me).

Tomorrow I will send through either my UPS of FedEx corporate account, (let me know which you think would be more efficient). I will get tracking confirmation to figure out where the money is at all times.

I need to go argue with the bank again to return my money from the check, but will have another issued tomorrow.

I HATE USPS!!!

 

I swear if I don't do it this weekend it'll never be done and I'll probably lose the box...

I'll try for Sunday install.

 

FedEx it is.

It will be out on Monday, and I will give you a trackng number immediately.
