Sounds really good...
And about the car- you have to save your money up for the journey to FI!
On a side note, Phil and I were working through learning the Osiris software and got a bit of an orientation on it from the boys at MNR. Unfortunately, I was under the impression through some of my efforts a bit ago that I needed to be plugged into the car to make any changes at all (I figured the cable would upload some software or a key or something to the computer so I could work on the tune while in bed, or on the crappier or whathaveyou) but as it turns out that isn't the case- I just need to have the CABLE plugged in. Sigh- I had a whole night shift I could have been trimming my tune and getting things sorted out.
Ah well!
Phil! You out there?

lol-Yeah, I'm around. Three 6 day work weeks in a row of 80hrs+, sorry I haven't been maintaining things here like I should be. Lmk when you can go for a run, I've hardly done any cruising this Summer and am itching to go.
Today I received a pm from a local guy offering to make decals for the Club. You guys interested?

Although we're a small Club at the moment I'll likely get a batch of 20 or so made. Anyone have ideas for the sticker design/Club logo? I'm thinking it should incorporate the Provincial flag but other than that let's hear your ideas, if anybody wants to try their hand at making the design for the Club logo and stickers submit those also and we'll put it to a vote for the winner.
Welcome to the Club. What are you trying to sell? Send me a pm, I'm always looking for things to do to the car.

Hey, just thought I'd drop in and say hello to some fellow BC G owners and to subscribe to this thread to see whats going on
And Phil just to through an idea out there for a logo you can do what I've seen others do, by taking the outline of the G coupe from the g35driver logo and just place in your own text (BCGC or whatever you want) in there.

Check Craig's/Kiji often, you never know what you'll find. I found a poly lip for under $300 that's unpainted and in new uninstalled condition, I'm picking it up this week. Also try carparts.com to search scrap yards across North America for oem parts, I like looking at prices for 3.7l engines and dreaming.-lol

Just learned that ePhil was in a pretty bad accident recently- but it sounds like he's okay. Car is a write off and he may be out of the g community for awhile. Hopefully he will Keep us posted though I know it can be tough to keep up with everyone across all forums.
Fortunately vehicles today are designed around absorbing impact by collapsing and taking energy away from occupants- and they do this very well. Be sure you give the vehicle the opportunity to protect you during a collision: wear your seatbelts!
Newer cars even have pre tensioning systems that pull you back in your seat to prepare you for the airbag deployment- but the most advanced protection system won't work if you don't secure yourself with the seatbelt first.

The pre-tensioner does it's job, in less than a second I was pulled tight into the seat and the airbag was in my face. Always make sure your shoulder and hip belts are properly adjusted, if the shoulder belt is anywhere near the neck you can be injured from the pre-tensioner and crash. If the hip belt is worn across the stomach it and other internal organs can also be damaged.
Proper seatbelt adjustment is even more important when children are wearing them as most neck and internal organ injuries occur among them. Seatbelts, especially the shoulder strap, aren't really designed for a child and end up being worn incorrectly.
Sadly this is my last post and resignation as B.C.G.C. President.-lol My plans for the near future don't include replacing the car so if anyone wants to keep things going or a few of you want to do it jointly that would be great.
