for the jb3 drivers - want to get upgraded to the new 1.3 software? for free???

i ordered the chip burner from bms last week and did the update myself.....HOLY CRAP! i'm seeing peak boost of 14.9psi on 93 octane! the biggest difference though is the re-spool right after upshifting. there's no more half second lag after you engage the next gear. it really does feel almost like a naturally aspirated car.

anyways, the update only takes about an hour total. you basically pull an actual computer chip out of the jb3 module, plug it into a circuit board that's hooked up to your computer, then reflash the software. i bought the chip burner, but the software itself is free, so anyone can do the update. we can do it some weekend, or if you're near newton, just come over some night after work.

if you're interested, shoot me a pm

Yup, it is quite easy. I have a burner here in Georgia too.

This is a fascinating story about a photography series of peeping toms taken with infrared cameras at night in public parks in Japan. The narrated slide show at the NYT is also fascinating, but perhaps NSFW (no body parts shown, but it's obvious what the couples are doing).
