Installed the Turbotuner manual ECU with the base performance map just now and went for a spin, haven't driven a standard in like 9 years.

I'm grinning ear to ear ...

How much was it to your door? Plan on doing the swap over the summer.

I got in the first release when it was offered, $800 shipped. Right now its ~ $900 plus shipping if you send in a donor ECU.

If it were a manual, I'd consider it, but it's an auto and I'm tired of dropping coin on the wagon.

Just a random q but, are you a huge slovenly fat ass or are you one of those people who eat the absolutely worst shit but are still skinny as a rail?

Pretty sure he's in the second group, from the few pics he's posted.

Shit's all well and good until your metabolism slows down.... dry.gif I didn't believe it until I started seeing it. It's not bad, but it's definitely happening.

Neither. The face shot I have on my profile pic probably proves I'm not obese. And for the record, my hair is abnormally long in that pic.

Enjoying it while I can, and slowly curbing my bad habits and portions as I go. I know my day is coming. I'd say my weight has fluctuated quite a bit over the years.

Somewhere around sophmore year in Highschool, I was teetering on the fat ass line. Peak was about 220lbs, but I was usually ~210. I ate like absolute shit, high fat high calorie high sugar foods and in massive portions. Wasn't uncommon for me to eat half a carton of ice cream for dessert, entire bags of chips, or 1200 calorie Uno's burgers, 3 or 4 JBC's etc.

Senior year of highschool I started eating only half the bag of doritos and had a gym class on my schedule. Dropped a lot of weight. Put it all back on starting late freshman year of college and in to sophmore year. Taking full advantage of the all-you-can-eat meal plan, which included literally entire plates of bacon, donuts, and pizza. Back up to ~205-210.

Been losing it since, and graduation day for college, I was probably my thinnest. ~170. Smaller portions, a girlfriend who doesn't snack, and walking several miles a day just to explore new areas. I'm about 180 right now, 6ft 0in. Have a little pudge I wouldn't mind loosing, and probably will as soon as the good weather arrives and I'm back outside. I eat 2000-2500 calories a day, probably 70-80g of fat. Gym 3 times a week, all weights, no cardio.

Hows that for a long winded life story.
