i work from home and it's pretty lagit. i have 15 yrs experience in my field though and it's not something just anyone can jump into over night. you can try getting into the odesk or elance market but i think ppl bid too low so it might be pretty competitive if you don't have history. i haven't hired on there for several years though so i'm not sure anymore. i know ppl that have taken on billing and coding but i'm not sure if they're happy. there's also a lotta scam schools, certs and spam from that industry. i personally know nothing else about it. my wife looked into that a very long time ago so i can ask her. other than that, work from home is a huge scam market so be careful what info you give and to whom. they pray on ppl wanting to live "the dream" and parents that wanna be home with the kids.

i'm still deciding but i think i cant go wrong with alcantara, right?? and its OEM and yes DIY, theres about 5-7 threads alone for the DIY and i rather always work on the car myself, unless its engine related/tune i chose this instead of a arkym lip because my driveway doesn't like low cars and i will always be seeing and feeling my investment rather than have others look at and have it for their admiration haha. maybe later down the line. can't wait to finalize things! and you never posted pictures of your "rare" (rear) spoiler!

personally, i only like functional cf. obviously that's not always the popular vote around here though. lol this is what i was thinking about getting (with paddles) but now with your announcement update i will wait: i was just scared about jacking up the stitching or something. i've also read about ppls sweaty hands messing it up but other ppl have said that's not true unless you sweat a LOT. i won't likely do short throw paddles but that'll be an awesome touch.

funny you ask because i just posted this in another thread... how rare is this bad boy ()? i'll take better pics some day.

not yet. i'm not a fan of dinan so i was going to grab jb stage 1 beta because i thought there wasn't much else available. now someone recently started talking about racechip. racechip cost a little more but claims better results but i can't go by butt dyno and feels so i want real numbers.

i look at it like this, the more good tunes that are out there the better. if the market is competitive it works out better for the consumer which is us. i will support other tunes until dinan checks itself and puts their prices in order and treats people better. again, not to offend.

FWIW, I've gone through 3 tunes on my car (JB4, Cobb, OFT). I thought that the JB4 had the best features (steering wheel controls), Cobb had the cleanest intergration (loved the AP, its features and how easy it was to install/uninstall), and the OFT has the best maps (OTS maps, anyway). All tunes have their pros and cons. It's just a matter of preference. |
