Started prepping car for trek to Eureka Springs. Washed it on Sunday and started the clay bar & polish detail of the body. Completed the top & down both flanks to the rear deck on Sunday. Finished up the rear end today. May do the rear quarter panels later today, weather permitting. Suppose to have T'storms late this afternoon.
Installed my Eurocharged tune. My car is a stock 2005 Limited Roadster. Here's my initial results using the Torque app with a blue tooth OBDII reader. Zero to 60 about 2/10 of a second faster (7.0 vs 7.2), 1/4 mile speed 10 miles per hour faster at the end ( 67.4 mph vs 57.8) , HP about a 14 HP increase at about 600rpm lower than the previous test without the tune. The car definitely feels peppier. I'm sure if I had some mods installed I would get more out of the tune.

Thanks for sharing, I just installed mine on the 04 NA coupe, seat of the pants is nice. Reading your results is about what they said it would do. Sprint Booster next, it arrives today!

Agreed. Pretty sure I recall timing mine BEFORE I did 74mm, CAI and tune and got a bit over 5.5 sec for 0-60. With tune I'm seeing about 4.8-5 sec.
Haven't done any 1/4 mile stuff.
Question to OP : You are putting it in 1st, holding the brakes, RPM to about 2000, then drop brakes and go full throttle with TC off, right ? ( assuming you have an automatic transmission )

I think the brakes are on all the time with 67 mph after 1/4 mile?

OK, I don't know what all that means. I'm just flooring it from a dead stop. Yes I have an auto.
1. Turn off the Traction Control ( TC/ESP ).
2. place in 'D', then bump lever toward you until you see a '1' in the dash display.
3. press HARD on the brakes.
4. Bring RPM up to about 2,200.
5. Simultaneously release brake and floor the accelerator pedal.
Don't worry about shifting the transmission, it will automatically upshift at about 5700 RPM for each gear.
HOLD ON TIGHT !

This may not be the best way to get top numbers but the fact that you did it consistently the same each run is still informative and shows an increase.
I had this also, it is caused by clogged cowl drains, there is a nice write up on it I found with the search function.
I think that's a different issue. I don't get water on the floor. It collects in the forward roof bow segment and either drips on me when the car moves around or I get it all out at once by releasing the handle and raising the front.
I checked the flow out of this area with a water bottle pouring through the strip channels and it seemed ok. But there was a roughness to the forward section roof sealing surface. There was old weatherstrip that transferred onto the sealing surface. I cleaned that and the weather strip itself but didn't have a helper to run a hose with me inside. I'll test it later.
Replaced the map lights with LED bulbs. I bought two versions one was slightly too long to fit with an air gap to the sea shell diffusers. So I used the shorter ones. Hopefully these are bright enough. I love the color compared to the incandescent bulbs.
