What are they offering? aren't they going to have to go through vince as well? I'd imagine you would order trifecta, go on a dyno. log your runs. LMR will email vince the logs, he will come back with "looks good", and you are done. lol

J_Vibe92 · 07-23-2013, 08:29 AM

no lmr doesn't go through Vince. they have all the software to do everything

Oh see I thought they would go trough Vince. If they are doing all the work and are reputable then go for it.

On a side note my daily driver has now passed a milestone lol

PoorMansCamaro · 07-23-2013, 10:09 AM

2012 Cruze Eco 6 speed manual. It's a great car and does awesome gas mileage. I made it from Miami back to Tallahassee in one tank which is about 12 gallons and 500 miles. I was completely out but it still made it and that was with A/C on and cruise control set to 75.

Edit: on average I spend about 15-20 dollars a week and drive 200-250 miles.

PoorMansCamaro · 07-23-2013, 10:18 AM

that's awesome! would be great if the cruze and sonic had a bigger gas tank. lol I get decent miles with the sonic, but seems like I still fill up once a week.

Nice. I fill up every week and use about 5-6 gallons which is about half the tank. Does the sonic you guys have have the 1.4L turbo? If so it is the same engine in my Eco. Got to say the Eco has been a great car I have even done a pretty decent 0-60 for the car which was just about 8.5 seconds if I recal correctly. The tires even chirped when shifting from 1st to 2nd.

J_Vibe92 · 07-23-2013, 10:27 AM

Well I am going to give lmr another call just to make sure and then I think I'll step up a date. I just want good power gains and a safe afr. no fake cam though lol

this is really why I want an AFR gauge. I would like to monitor my trim levels real time but I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the pillar pod since they do have to go above a curtain air bag and I'm not a fan of the steering wheel mount one

yup, got the turbo. but we are auto, so the gas mileage is not as good as yours.

Gotcha. They didn't have an auto when we got our Eco. They only had a silver and black manual. My dad would never consider a black car so silver it was. He was driving it for a little while and then handed it to me because he isn't to big of a fan of driving manual daily and wanted the seat warmers back that where in the HHR we had.

PoorMansCamaro · 07-23-2013, 10:43 AM

I would love a manual. lol but there were no manual turbo's at the time. this is my first auto, ever. lol
