Thumbs up European Auto Source

I decided to drop by EAS in order to get European MDM on my car. Standard MDM is too intrusive IMO, so I always run TC off at the track. However, a close call with the wall in the Nascar bank at 150 mph at Autoclub Speedway made me want to use TC at least on this one track, but I wanted something slightly more liberal than US MDM.

Tom completed the European MDM work for me in just minutes, and also completed a bunch of other small stuff for me quickly too. I think he was done in like, 5-10 minutes. Price was great too. Just wanted to give a shout out to EAS and say thanks as always for helping me out, despite me being a difficult guy to schedule in.

Stuff I got done:

-European MDM

-Remove Obnoxiously Immediate Seabelt BONGBONGBONG

-Close Windows with Key

-Fold Mirrors With Key

-Close Windows With Comfort Access

-Fold Mirrors With Comfort Access

-Disable Window Roll Up Stop When Door Is Open Thingymabobber

-Disable iDrive Message Of Death Destruction And Doom On Start-Up

-Remove Speed Correction Factor

-Amber Corner Light No Longer Always On And In Your Face

-Fuel Reserve Warning Moved from 1/4 To 1/8 Fuel Left

-Wipers Don't Stop In the Middle Of Nowhere When You Turn Off Car

-Navigation Has Gas Station Suggestions



Guess you guys might be staying late again if I get those other wheels from you guys. Eeek.

I had gotten DVD inMotion done previously due to a long trip coming up (which took 10 seconds using their AutoLogic) but I hadn't had all this extra side stuff done.

Thanks. I'm still getting used to the wheels, but they do look nice.

Haha, I'm just not originally a multi-piece wheel kind of guy. Also, I've only had one set of BBS's prior (CH's), with all other wheels that I've ever bought coming from Volk Racing. The BSS multi-piece thing is just taking a little getting used to, but at least I accomplished my goal of wanting to try something that isn't a Volk monoblock for once.

Good seeing you again, glad you made it back to CA safely.

Let me know when ready for the dyno, or we'll simply see each other on the track soon!
