5,000 mile update I am starting to understand why none of the automobile fuel computers I have seen have been anywhere near accurate. I was happy to find calibration instructions on this site and I have been working on that. I am finding that limitations in precision make it difficult to...

2,000 Mile Report A few days ago I took a fun twisty loop drive on rough roads. It was great. Handling was balanced and braking was sharp. 3/4 of the way through there is a short straight away, still on a rough road. Here is where I found a downside to the standard suspension. At a little over...
