    couldnt find anyone with a used one and could not get to a junkyard when they are open to get one .... all my efforts this weekend just made it worse ... but i did notice the one i have was melted not sure how but it has a nice burn on it

    i can cancel my order if someone has a used one or can snag one from a junkyard and i pay you wed

    I'm also curious to see what my timing is actually set at as well. Don't think I'll bump it up though, 87 octane is nice after paying for 93.

    My timing was bumped to 14 degrees and I always used 87. I never heard a ping. It's a noticable difference. Do it, you can go back if you want to.

    I can only run 93 and I hear ping at the top end of my gears.

    Though it could be all the boost I am running

    Yep, same here. No problems on 87 set at 14 degrees.

    I too can bring a timing light, and I keep a 12mm wrench in the console for the CAS bolt.

    I read on the pointy board that most people were pinging with advanced timing and 87 octane. We'll see how it goes tomorrow night, I still need to fix my freaking HVAC unit as well

    I'll probably still stop by to grab the HVAC unit from black roadster but won't hang out long if it's raining hard. What time is everyone getting there? I'm going to shoot for 9

    If it is raining and there is no one in the parking lot, then we are likely at the Plano Hooters, NE side of 75 and Plano Parkway.
