Installed the 3 bar sensor then flashed the 3 bar tune yesterday.  Car is noticeably quicker than with the first tune.  Peak boost went to 19.1#, previous high 16.2.  Car's running a touch hotter, 5-6*, so I ordered a Reische 170 thermostat from Unleashed.  They seemed to have the best pricing on it and it was also a chance to further support my tuner.  Win, win I say......

 The SHO will have a nice home and place to hang out when she does return home better than before..... Now to finish painting the 2nd / other half, and have the floors professionally expoxy'd.

I was planning to hit the local track this weekend especially with the cooler temps upon us but noticed a clunking sound coming from the Front (passenger side) and hoping its something simple as a loose Strut tower bolt!! Everything else is essentially new with the exception of the upper/lower control arms AFAIK!  :(
I'm also running very low on the M1! Z   :(

I got bit by the mod bug to the tune of ~ $10k years ago with a G35. Then 4 years ago I replaced it with a bone stock, mint 06 GTO that had 27k miles when I bought it and I promised myself it would stay stock and it did. Until it got flooded in May, ugh. So I promised myself again that I would do light mods on the MKS and I don't see myself doing any more. It's fast enough to make me smile and still reliable for now. If I ever have to replace the turbos, well that's a whole new can of worms lol.

Z, check the bushings on the LCAs.  See if any fluid leaked out, if so may have caused the rubber bushing to wear out.  Might be your clunking noise.  I just replaced the DS LCA on mine.  All the fluid leaked out of it.  Not a real bad job to replace them.  Oh make sure the shop is careful with the rear mounting bolts, I twisted one apart tightening it back up.

Breakfast of champions maintenance in lieu of this Saturday for my next track appearance.  Didn't change the gear oil again...it should be able to withstand 1100 miles.  But the oil/filter and trans drain I did.  Also am sending a sample of oil out to Blackstone Labs.  Pushing the stock motor with the GH turbos with Meth and nitrous I'd like to know how the engine is doing.  Got a Dragy as well.  Also borrowed my buddies $900 Samsung 4k camcorder with 25x zoom.  Want some clear as day shots of my runs with a Dragy perspective to boot.

Yes and there is one place here that stocks it but not in 5w20.  Ive thought about changing to 5w30 but its not what the 2010 calls for so I've been thinking 5w20 should be good?  The regular RP is local and I go just go grab it and I've been using it without issue so I feel safe I guess to continue.  Although I might as well go all the way and get the best of the best....and start buying HPS online.

I liked it in my 2010 SHO. I only ran through a couple of oil changes with it but I never had any issues. Considered it for my MKS once I get around to installing DPs, 3 bar and tune.
