May be moving to that area once my current contract expires in the spring.
Haines City? Is there anything there? When I left Central Fl 10 years ago there wasn't much out there.
Its absolutely blowing up. No joke.

Soooo many new houses, an amazingly nice and huge high school. All sorts of shopping and easy access to Tampa or Orlando.

Not that I would ever choose to live right there exactly.

Im looking at Tampa primarily for work reasons but want to have a bit of land so planning to be somewhere off 4.

Oh wow! I was born and raised in Orlando, but left in 2009 for work. I lived in Tampa (Davis Island) for a while and really liked it down there. Maybe one day I will move back!

Did 125 last week. Auburndale exit in lakeland are you familiar with that area?
just from passing through. lots of empty and straight roads down there. I'm by MCO so it's harder to find clear space.

Did you already have the JB+ on for a while before you installed the DP?

I was thinking about running a catless DP on my 430i with JB+ but I keep reading mixed reviews about whether it makes a difference that's actually worth the money.

I had the catless downpipe installed first. Btw Today turned the jb+ down to 80% and it’s alot smoother, much better. Also have sport+ coded which helped a lot. I have this OBD port chip I found on eBay and even though it’s not supposed to work it actually has helped so I leave it in.

I can't even remember what my jb+ is set at, probably default, but I am not a fan of how sensitive it made sport mode. I'm gonna pop it open this weekend and see if turning it down helps smooth things out.
