Got 70 MPG?

I haven't been on here lately because work is speeding up pretty good, and I've been doing some work to my Charger. I put an exhaust on it a couple weeks ago, and a tuner on it last week. The tuner is pretty fun to mess around with as I can datalog the car with the tuner to see how well/poor it's running. Right now I've got the following mods on the car: 4" intake, called a Frankentake IV by the LX crowd. JBA catless midpipes. Borla 140125 catback exhaust. JET 180 degree thermostat. GReddy modified oil catch can with baffled internals. DiabloSport Predator U7135 tuner with a canned 93 octane CAI tune on it presently. The car was running pretty crappy after I put the catback on it (before I had the tuner). I lost quite a bit of power over the stock catback. After putting the tuner on and loading up the canned tune it really brought back the performance and then some on the car, but it still feels like it's running a bit fat and I'm sooting up the tailpipes pretty quickly as well, so I know there is plenty of fuel needing to be pulled out of the present tune. I'll be taking the car out for a datalog run this weekend and will be sending the data to DiabloSport Via email for a Custom tune for the car since I have more mods on it that any canned tune has set up. I'm hoping to be able to milk another 20-30 WHP out of it after the custom tune comes back  |

Do you still need side trim, window trim, etc. for your passenger door? I'm going to strip my passenger door & sell/keep what I can/need before I send the door to omni source for a little scrap metel money. Let me know what you need & I'll try to get some estimates on prices. |

I've decided to leave the car like it is, it adds character and it's anti-theft,

I just scored several complete gasket kits from someone who had a Metro but told me it had been stolen. It had lost the hood when it blew open and landed on some ladies car. I thought, wow, that Metro was cursed. Hope the curse doesn't follow the gaskets.
