What alignment setting was he trying to get for you? Sounds lame to me.

Simple to fix really. Remove the cover, remove the nut, remove and rotate
the wheel to where you want it, make the plunge and reinstall said nut
and cover.

That would of been me that yanked the "module". (Uh, more like a lame-o
relay thing-a-ma-jig.) Rewired the coolant sensor for ya to, dont worry,
I did it for you at no charge. Merry hoho! :)

Cool! Then you gonna run SM against the Potterman? 

I gotz an idear. I think we should all hook up for a day at the drag
races. You know, legit races with time slips and stuff. Id like to see
your 2.0L against the Pottermans 8V and his 16V. Should be interesting. I
think if there were enough of us, we would have alot of fun.
