Damn, sorry to hear man. Let me know if you need help with anything.

I live right across the street from the toll brothers town houses that blew down:



I was sitting at work when it came through and I watched a huge tree fall down across the street followed by a billboard that no one seems to notice that the entire thing fell over.

Hey NC folks. Can anyone recommend reputable paint shops in the Charlotte area or near by? Picking up a new trunk, I can't have the paint not be perfect.

Also does anyone know if I can pass inspection with my 2ndary cats removed??

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

I'll help if you want. Not doing anything new to my car yet. Maybe j38 will go to so I can put in his FMIC and flash. Maybe flash yours too?

Flash??

Hi there,

I am in Charlotte, and was reading a post you had on a NC thread, where you mentioned flash. I am brand new to the world of tuning (outside of installing a JBD on my previous X5). I just purchased an X1 35, and am going to install the JB4 this weekend, but was wondering if you could give me some info on flashing, what it means, what it does (or point me in the right direction to read up). Thanks so much!

Randy

Tell me more about this flash. I wish I could have made it out tonight to meet you guys (though I am sure you are way younger than I), but my wheel with a crack decided to spawn and it now has 3 cracks. So the car is parked while I try to beg for funds to buy new wheels and I drive the wife's old Saab wagon with a bum transmission.

Haha we have all been there in some way or another.

The flash basically tunes more things like timing and fueling for example that piggybacks don't. You are basically stacking to types of tunes to create one monster tune that's super powerful while still maintaining optimum safety.

If you want more info just PM me:
