Never apologize for asking questions on this forum. I will do all I can to help as I would think others would do for me.

Thanks Gus! I'm quite interested in all of this, so tend to ask a lot of questions. Hopefully sometime down the line, I might be able to supply some good info myself.

Have a nice evening everybody!

Cheers, Jarle

Found a receipt in the car after I bought it.

Please post your results I'm interested.

Do you know if the car was put on a road dyno machine to see what power it had before it was chip tuned and then after it was chip tuned?

The company that did the tuning on it, has a top modern rolling road, and have all of the equipment. I'm hoping as you say to get some papers on what it had and what it got!! Will scan and post.

Adding oil to cylinders

Interesting, I have been researching preparing a car for winter storage. Some posts I have read recommend adding oil to each cylinder before putting the car in for hibernation. Wondering if this is one of the reasons?
