Cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sounds great! Any codes? Time to clear out the driveway and go for a ride. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)Attached Image

Bad-ass man! That's fantastic news and a great video. Sounds awesome.

I should only be a few days behind you. (At least I hope I am!)

Thx guys, I'm still pinching myself to see if this is real. Many things known and unknown have yet to be addressed. Codes? Don't know yet. I haven't mounted that light yet. I still have to check out the cooling which could be a Royal PITA. But everything else seems small now. Just a matter of wringing it out. I will make this statement, however. When it fired up, both smoothly & immediately, I was reminded as to why I made the change. Improved engine management systems. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Hopefully she gets to taste some asphalt next week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
Chit: I just noticed your "Welcome" banner Mike; totally cool!

Are you re-flashing the stock ECU with updated software? There are a lot of options for that.

I think I will but I know nothing about that subject other than the "few" articles I have found. I'll take any info you have on that subject, Doug. BTW, Chris and I are talking a RRC rendezvous this September for the "3 Subyteer's". You up for that?

I'm in if I can make it work. Seriously...I'll have the car sent out, and then fly there and drive it back. That'd be a blast.

Uh Doug, I've got a feeling you will not like some one else driving your car. More especially a Turbo powered Fucking Rocket that can and will get ahead of you. You like the plane theme so think of your car as the "Merlin" powered P-51. Killed many a green pilot on take off. Too much throttle input and they flipped over on take off. Those little wings couldn't handle the torque of that beast until it reached speed. If that boost kicks in at the wrong moment in a turn, you'll be busy. Kinda like landing at Big Bear when 3 of the 4 wind socks are going different directions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Besides, I think you'll enjoy driving it and become quite possessive of it. You'd better with your investment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Well, at least this way, I won't have to worry about screwing up something and voiding the warranty by doing it myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Yeah $10 is cheap man. I was just kidding about the price. Prying a brand new gauge apart would suck. Did they agree to take the Speedhut part off too?

Kent I think Doug is saying he would have the car shipped out on a car hauler. Certainly could get man-handled along the way if you chose the wrong company. I'd pay extra for the cushy, enclosed carrier with that car.

Last nite I was finishing up the wiring and tidying up in the cabin so I decided to give it the once over. Found some extraneous wiring and removed it along with some 12 ga speaker wire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) . But the jewel was this black ball of electrical tape. When I unraveled it I found my "missing" ground lug from the left front fender. It had been commissioned to jumper duty. There were 4 red + wires w/ female spades attached by some PO.

Chris, I received the "American Made" Tach Adp yesterday and promptly installed it this PM. Works great and I get to keep my OEM tach. As I should; I have a few laying around, now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) It does make the movement very smooth as you mentioned. Just had to remove the jumper to power the old tach. Wouldn't spool up w/o it but they cover that in the instructions. Once the new Speedo arrives the panel gets closed up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I seem to remember someone had cautioned me that these are prone to leaking. The washer is hard as a rock and is supposed to seal against the plastic. I tightened to what I felt was tight enough but it leaked. I'm glad that I used this bedliner material now!

So I pulled out the adhesives box and "Dirko'd" it's little ass in place. We'll see if it holds tonight.

Mine landed in OH in the exact same position it left CA. Same cars on there too.

I think it was about $900 from Sacramento to Cleveland.

Wow! I should nominate myself for the Slacker's Thread. I found my thread on the bottom of page 3. I've been tying up loose ends here and there before I yank the drivetrain again. Now, I think I know of "everything" that needs attention once the engine is out. So that's pretty much my excuse for these past weeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Remember this Rat's Nest?

I ran out of electrical tape but I completed a big portion of the clean up. Next I will need to strap it all up.

I also was able to get both axles installed.

I received my new toy Thursday and promptly installed it. Found out the damned thing wouldn't work w/o electricity or the GPS antennae connected. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Now it's time to pull the engine and clean up that Rat's Nest in the engine compartment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Well, duh. The car needs to be moving too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

Hey Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) No matter what you order it will appear counterfeit at a glance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
Yesterday I bumped the starter while it was in gear. I almost shit myself but that is another story. Placed it in neutral, started it and it ran rough as Hell so I shut it off while I thought about it. I had just wrapped looming around most of the comp wiring and was afraid I had (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) something up. Today I started it and revved it a bit and it smoothed mostly but still is a bit off and running very rich. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I'll see what code is flagged or better yet which codes are not flagged. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Any ideas??
After that experience I decided I had better use the neutral switch on the tranny. It and the reverse switch are dead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) That's alright. It's time to pull the drivetrain so I'll get a closer look when it's out. It might be a result of removing the center differential. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Forgot to add that I ran a dedicated 16ga wire from the bat to that lying assed Volt meter.
