Drove to work and back home with time spent driving just to tune the newly installed boost solenoid. Went to HPR and filled up on the way. Unfortunately the car has lots of blowby and I was only able to run 7 laps or so but that was on the tank after filling up.

Filled up on the way home in Idaho springs from D4C2020 about 80 miles home. Then drove to Genessee for a hike before another short trip for a hike in Kittridge. Lastly, drove to HPR for Ted's lemon's race. Mileade dropped a bit at 3000rpm 80mph but obc showed 46mpg when I filled up today. I drove 2 miles to the gas station on cold start after the car sat a week and tank gasket swapped.

Gunnison to CB and then driving back and forth to the hotel on cold starts. Also did a morning cold start and idle during car wash and idling to keep PJ warm out of the rain. A few trips up and down to town for coffee in CB before then heading to Cottonwood pass and back home. Drove through Leadville and then along I70 to fill up in Idaho Springs. Fuel light didn't turn on not sure if it works with this sender. Works with a different one.

Fuel light had just came on and i filled. Some highway headed home from D4C but lots of acceleration and tuning and idling to iron out my tune. Major strides when changing the lag settings terms of engine response. Some fixes to the idle and other things that car feels quite good. Getting prepared for lapping day in October with hopefully a safe tune ready for some fun!

From Montrose up to 92 and some aggressive driving up to Hermits Rest area. Then drove down to Redstone for Tuesday dinner before stopping in Glenwood for the night in a cabin in 117. Drove to Georgetown where I filled up. Probably could have made it home on the same tank.

Drove to work and home for a couple of weeks. Also drove up to the mountains to hike S Sourdough trail and then go to eat in Estes Park and fine tune my baro correction curve. Installed front 535is power seats and hoping car will be ready for D4C 2018. A fair number of boost runs, car feels real good at 10psi, even in 80F temperatures. Fuel light came on a couple miles before filling. OBC showed 2.5L left.

OBC Showed .3L. Fuel light didn't come on, but range showed ---. Filled up before burger meet and then drove to work for almost 2 weeks. Went to the mountains and clutch slave failed so I limped it home. Replaced the parts and spark plugs as I was getting misfiring with .025 plug gap. Got 32 foot extension ladder to finish painting the house and returned that. Then drove to Travis's for D4C decals and then a trip to the grocery store where I filled up.
