Talking The troops are marching

Okay... maybe the troops are a little drunk.



Today and tomorrow are going to be busy days. We have to assemble and pre-program all of these bad boys This should get us caught up with the rest of Rick's group-buy orders. Thanks for everyone's patience!

Cheers,
Shiv

ps. They will all be loaded up with the new v3.1 maps I just posted here earlier today.

Not that he would need it, but a chick's magnet is always an asset. Work as hard as Shiv and maybe one day you'll own an Italian sports car too!

thats funny i don't think of lambo as an italian car company since they are now owned by vag - and many parts in the gallardo interior are straight from the audi parts bins.

? They are the same as all the other rev.2 harnesses. Maybe you are thinking of the rev.1 harnesses with the relay and ballasts.

Have you driven one? It feels very much like an Italian sports car to me.

I think the exact same way since its under the VAG umbrella. Add to that the polar opposite of tradional Italian styling.

But one that doesn't break down every 5k miles. I put 30k miles on it in the last year alone. 3 track days. 4 sets of rubber. 2 sets of brake pads. 6 oil changes (12 quarts each time!). And absolutely no problems that weren't my fault. I don't see a Ferrari behaving that well.

And it's even easy enough to work on it yourself! Here's how I spent my New Years Eve:


...installing high flow cats, new spark plugs and a custom intake set-up. Now it spits flames at every shift!

Mine has been good since 1990. Only one alternator and a few defective dashboard switches in 18 years.
