we got a few inches....4 to 6 depending on where in OHio you live....about 4 where I live,,,,barely a trace where I work. It's all melting already

too bad. I wanted to get some pics...

gooooodam, everyone!

we got several inches last night too. i used my snowbrum to get the 6inches off the roofs of my fits.

hey my HU's already on the way to me.

not that i can install it yet... i need my dinoc first.

depending on how warm it is this weekend, i will do the new HU install. im going to wire up the mic just in case i decide to sell the car in 4-5yrs, the next user can use the BT to answer calls.

anyone run pedalbox? i want to see how it can improve the latency our throttle has. i found it only connects between the pedal and the pedal harness so no issue with obd2 port.

i already have that ecoroute module hooked up to it to give gauges on my nuvi so didnt want to disconnect that.

HI KENCHAN!!!

sorry gotta run! past my lunch time and big brother is watching!!

hahaha, hi ms.bc

does this make it any better? this is how americans talked to me when i didnt understand english well at first.

HEY MY HU'S ALREADY ON THE WAY TO ME. NOT THAT I CAN INSTALL IT YET... I NEED TO WAIT FOR MY DINOC FIRST. DINOC. DINOC YOU KNOW, THAT CARBON FIBER LAMINATE? DINOC!!! YOU KNOW? DIAAAINOC!!!!!!! YAH, THAT THAT. YAH.

DEPENDING ON HOW WARM, YOU KNOW, TEMPERATURE, WARM NOT HOT HOT HOT, JUST WARM, THIS WEEKEND.. YOU KNOW, SAAAAATURDAY AND SUUUUNDAY, YA? I WILL DO THE NEW HEADUNIT INSTALL. HEADUNIT IS CAR STEREO. YES, CAAAAARRRR SSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!!!!

IM GOING TO WIRE UP, YOU KNOW, HOOK IT UP... UMMM... LIKE INSTALL IT? YOU KNOW SCREW DRIVER AND TOOLS. YAH, TOOLS, NOT FOOLS LIKE YOU KIMOSABI, WAIT DO YOU LIKE SUSHI? YAH, SUSHI? YOU LIKE IT? YAH, YOU KNOW WAAASAAAAAAAAABI? YAH, THAT'S HOT!!!

SO ANYWAY, AFTER 4-5 YEARS OF USE, NONO NOT YOUR EARS, YYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAARS, OF USE IF I SELL THE CAR, NEXT PERSON CAN USE THE BLUE TOOTH TO ANSWER CALLS. YOU KNOW PHONE CALLS.... PIRRRRRR,,,, PIRRRRRR,,,, HELLO? HELLO? YOU KNOW, PHONE CALLS. YAH... YOU CALL JAPAN? DO YOU SAY KONNNIICCHIIIWAAA? YAH? OH, YOU SAY MUSHI MUSHI? OH, MOSHI MOSHI? WHAT'S MOSHI MOSHI? WHAT? AHEM..ANYWAY....

SO MY OTHER QUESTION WAS, DOES ANYONE USE PEDAL BOX? YAH, YOU KNOW, GAS PEDAL? PUSH IT GO VROOOOOM VROOOOM? YOU KNOW ON YOUR CAR, YOU PUSH GAS PEDAL. YAH, ON THE 370Z, YOU GUYS CALL IT FAIR LADY, ANYWAY, YAH, 370Z, PEDAL YOU PUSH BUT NO IMMEDIATE VROOM.... IT TAKES LIKE A SPLIT SECOND. NO, NOT SPIT, DONT SPIT. SPLIT SECOND.

Pedal box is a sort of amplifier. Here is some info I found on the interwebz,

Hey Guys,

Getting rid of throttle lag seems to be a difficult concept to translate into practice. Let us put it another way, you get full throttle in the first 25% of your pedal press instead of having to floor your ride to get maximum effect. It does NOT add HP, it amplifies your drive by wire throttle signal as to give you power up front and personal.

Two of our associates have a PedalBox installed, one in a seriously modded BMW 1 series and an R32, they swear by it as it completely transforms the acceleration experience. Lastly, the PedalBox is a 3rd Gen Throttle Controller which can be further tweaked to a particular ride. Oh, and by the way, both Guys keep the setting of their PedalBox always in sports + (Max) setting. Alex (BMW 1 Series) actually tucked his system away entirely under his floor mats...

Here are several links for more information:
