As life has been filled with a ton of busy nights and weekend, I haven't updated the site in quite sometime.  Rocky Mountain Touge Tour 2012 went off with no problems at all, but did not have nearly as many attendees as I had hoped.  I will better advertise next year, and get more people out for a different route throughout the rocky mountains of Colorado.  I am going to try to get some new updates posted over the next few weeks, as some major things are brewing over the winter build season.

Reminder

RMTT 2012 is this Saturday, August 25,2012.  Hope to see lots of folks there.  I recieved a few more confirmed attendees as of today.  I am hoping that we get a few more before Saturday.  Breakfast is at 8:00am, Dad's, 385 Main St. in Security.  The owner, Larry, is offering us 10% off of our meals with event attendance.

Rocky Mountain Touge Tour 2012

We are currently putting together plans for the first ever Rocky Mountain Touge Tour.  The event is to be held August 25, 2012 (Saturday).  It will be a one day event into the Colorado mountains for a day of fun and frolic!  I hope to get a decent amount of cars out so and have a ton of fun.   I will get the word out so that the number of participants will rise.  The event will go along the Arkansas river, and into Salida (departing from Colorado Springs).  If time permits, we will be including Monarch pass.  Hope to see you there!  I am working on a finalized route and included stops/potential photo spots.  As things come together, I will have them posted.  Please contact me if you can make it. I am going to keep an updated list of participants and vehicles.  You can find the route directions and map on the Events page as well as other final details.  If I can get enoughh confirmed participants in the next couple of weeks, I may get t-shirts or window decals made up for the occasion for those willing to pay up!  If you have an idea for a shirt design, email it to me.

Parts From FLP Garage Works

I plan on getting back to making parts for the 5th generation Mirage by later this year.  This will begin with a short run of custom parts for a select few in and around the FLP family of cars.  I am going to fabricate at least two G93 turbo manifolds, two G15 turbo manifolds, some evap delete parts and some chassis components as well.  I am using my car as the primary test subject to build these parts and test some of them, while others will be tested on other vehicles I have access to.  Please feel free to ask questions and place comments on new things as they occur.  When the parts are completed I will post pictures up on the site.  These parts may or may not end up being sold, demand and my time involed will determine that.

In addition to these hard parts, I have begun working on multiple different tunes for the 4G93 Mirage.  These are available upon request.  I can also build a custom tune (for you to flash to your ECU) at no charge.  E-mail me with any requests for a tune for your Mirage. 

Tunes are available for N/A, Turbo, and e85 vehicles as well.

Blog Info

I have recently begun to add new features to the blog.  These include new pages full of technical information, as well as links to other great web pages.  These are found at the right side of the page below the counters and what-not.  Check back often to find new info and links as they will be added from time to time.  If you enjoy the site, please join as a follower and feel free to post comments and let me know what you think. 

Also if you have questions regarding info on the site, please feel free to post them as comments, and I will try to answer them in a timely fashion.

New Flash For BBYEVO!

Re-Flashed the Mirage today:  Updates were added for more fuel and RPM.  Added a ton of fuel (e85) above 5000 at WOT.  Seems to run even better, and with some other minor tweaks, no more CEL!  That made my day.  That pesky thing has been on for one thing or another since 2001.  I hope to get some screen shots of the flash maps to add to the site.  I will have all versions of flash upgrades for the Mirage available for those who need it.

Hopefully I will have pics (screenshots) soon.  Also for inquiring minds, the key to flashing the Mirage ECU in some cases is the removal of the wire going to pin 9 of the DLC (light blue).  This wire seems to cause an interference on some cars, not all.  I am doing some research to find out why that may be.
