    Sorry for asking this in the chat thread, but I don't want to start a thread for a simple question.

    I've been looking into getting a Mark D chip after doing some research, but I have no idea where to buy it from..

      I dont know, but he definitely has good chips.

      In case anyone cares, I think I have to be patient and my time to own a Porsche will come. I was enjoying the drive in the Benz yesterday and today and think with a little more oopmh and noise I will be perfectly content with it and the E30. Now if I could just get MBofUSA to swap my steering wheel with a non Takata airbag (and paddle shifters) I will be a happy camper... for a little while ...

      Also, theres a HPDE at Streets of Willow on Nov 12/13 that I am trying really hard to get my E30 to. Anyone else down to go? $295 for the weekend

        I've been wanting to go to a track event, but I feel like I should do some autox before getting on a real track.

          I'd be game if my e30 is running well by then.

            I want to run my car at Autoclub either Nov 5/6, but I'm still waiting on parts to arrive. I doubt I'll even have it ready by the next weekend, but if I do, count me in!

              This would be money well spent as you will have instructors there to help out. If you can afford the cost and time of devoting the weekend to it, you will love it and wont really want to autocross anyways! haha

                That's good to know! Unfortunately, I'm going to be in Seattle for a week when this is going on...

                  Hey d00ds.
                  Do you know if I can use a 20 amp plug on an 10/3 extension cord?
                  I need to replace my 15amp that melted, but don't know if it matters what I rating I put on there.

                  Like if it won't work or it'll give it too much power. idk i'm not an electrician.
                  thanks.

                                Sacrificed an oil pan this morning. Havent driven the e30 to work in 3 months. Some fool crashed his pickup on topanga canyon and left debris on the road, I ran it over and voila. This is why we can't have nice things.

                                Im also the dumbass driving around without the skid plate...
