The rear bumper is pretty nasty and its just black soot, I dont see much metalic stuff in it like I do up front. I alway tell people not to lean against my rear bumper because of it. But its mostly from the exhaust, and I'm not running a CAT and only 1 sorta small muffler. I wonder what would happen if I put a diffshared_user or something under the rear of the car. Also wonder how much of an effect the factory rear spoiler has on the airstream. I doubt the air flows the same way it did on my red car.
On another note I think I need to dial in the ignition timing a little, never thought to check it since I put the motor back together. When you get time over the next week or two I'd like to use the consult to check out how things are running and see if the ECU is the reason why the A/C is being stupid, I dont think the front A/C fan is working either. Anyway you can turn that fan on through the consult?
