Secondhand Risk

Last Friday night, my president organized a large meet with many different cars where the main event was a drag-out between a stock 6 speed manual Celica with a stock 6 speed RX-8. The RX-8 wanted to test out its power against a Celica to prove its superiority but the Celica won by 2 car distance. This showed us that the Celica is a force to be reckon with. If only the RX-8 was an auto unit I would have challenged it. After that, I managed to get a few challenges from 2 auto Celicas and a manual Blacktop Corolla. I did not win any of those drag-out because of my off tuning since the Short Ram installation.

This made the off tuning unbearable and decided to not only retune my camcon but also install the long bought EM-CON I have. So, I brought my EM-CON and went to my tuner who did a good job with the camcon. However, I was told that the harness that I bought alone with the unit is not complete and I could not install it. My trip to the tuner was wasted and I contacted the guy who sold it to me. He told me that is was not included and I was sure he is not going to take any responsibility. I have no choice but to buy a new harness which would cost extra. This is the risk of buying a second hand item. 

Now, I have to wait for next week to get the harness and install it. I hope things go well and finally I can more power out of my auto transmission that is very restrictive.
