Eloy/RPI has actually sponsored a few of the past SLO/ECFest meets by giving discount vouchers for their products. I think the best one was when they raffled off vouchers to get 50% off on their exhausts. There were also other vendors that have chipped in with prizes/services for the free raffle; Trinity Autosport, EuroRev, JLevi SW, SonicMS to name a few.

Only thing I have noticed is that sometimes my car idles at 780 or stock idle and sometimes it idles higher at 900....not sure why and can't put my finger on it. Not sure if its to do with weather or something else. I am going to have ESS look at it in person once I am there.

Mine does exactly the same. I was parked by the side waiting for someone and the lady in the car behind me was reading a book. But suddenly it started idling at close to 1rpm and the lady got pissed and reversed further away from me as there were more lots behind her.. Oops

Exactly, once it gets to a certain rpm the car def gets louder and people look at you as if your revving on purpose which I'm not , I had Aj drop it to 740rpm but it still creeps up in stand still traffic or at a red light. Me and John had the same issue. I keep telling Aj that there must be something in the program if multiple cars are experiencing this
