I parked my motorcycle next to her, get her a nice pat on the sunroof. And assured her that better times are coming, and that she will never have felt so good. ;)

Got off wastegate boost, found my limit before needing fuel control. Feels faster than BPU 9B's @ 15psi, only at 11psi!
Swapped out the leaking transfer case on the Stealth with one I rebuilt and started the VR4 for the first time this year.
Picked up the AWD 4 Piston Calipers for 20$ today.
1st gen or 2nd gen? cus that's an awesome price. Especially if it's 2nd gen.....Quote:

FIXED MY BRAKES!
Replaced my wheel bearings last friday, put everything back together and had really really bad brake shudder, checked everything, runouts were good, I couldnt figure it out. I said F it and ordered up 2 new rotor rings from Philip at Supercar Engineering and they came in, replaced the rotor rings, cleaned everything, loctite'd the fasteners, torqued SAT, NO MORE SHAKING!! Bedded the new rotors just fine, I have a lapping day on Tuesday and I could not be happier with my car.
they came of a 92 Stealth AWD.Quote:

Changed out my battery.. my vr4 had a Die Hard Gold in it from 2005. As far as I am concerned it was a great battery but after some research I went with a Duralast Gold. Great price, warranty, CCA and its made right here in my home town of Kansas City.

I just changed out my passenger side door glass with a cleaner replacement piece...My old one had a severe scratch right in my line of view. Now it's just time to continue collecting parts for the transmission overhaul.
Started smoothing out the intake plenum
Nice!Quote:

Finished redoing the stereo wiring again while adding the sub. Installed the new carpet along with most of the interior.

sounds good Twisted!
I've located the rest of my burnt dimmer switch wiring in the dash harness. Goes all the way to the fuse box :(
The amp and sub installed.

The new carpet in.

The center console wiring.

The new floor mats.

Here's what I found under the carpet.

I used the RHD fuel door/hatch release channels to run the amp and sub power leads.

Here's the new panel with no washer nozzle. Plus, it's not all faded and cracking like old one.

Hid all wires going to the rear under the rear speaker panels.

The seats in with the new floor mats and wheel and airbag. I also replaced the lexan covering the gauges. Amazing the difference that little thing makes.
http://www.synapsepc.com/Hosting/For...sting/Done.jpg
Installed the new door panels as well. The old ones were bubbling and were all charcoal. At some point that beige section will be covered with suede.

nice speaker grilles. those look a lot like what i used to have in mine. :) pioneer speakers?
The grills are just factory grills with the webbing cut out. The speakers are Focal 650kf components.
yep. factory with the web removed. :)
Today (okay, yesterday) I got this delivery:

After washing it 2.5 times (whole car twice and front end three times), it now looks much better:

Took it for a ride.
Fired right up, ran smooth, and even shifted nicely considering the transmission case is probably empty.
Only issue was some brake shudder. Might just be from something packed around the rotors from it sitting.
Nine months off the road, the GTO started right up. So happy she's back on the road. Now needs a savage wash and a drivers side window. :woohoo:
Scotty
Repainted the trunk hatch trim and bumper trim.
Been out of town since Thursday and won't be back till Fridayish. First thing I'm gonna do is wash and wax and o on a nice drive if weather permits.
Installed Fresh pads and resurfaced my rotors and now I have a brake shimmy...so I get to do it all again tomorrow
last nite I've installed oil catch can. by my car doesn't really run yet. ;)
Did this to my MAF cus I'm running MAP and no longer need the MAF to work.
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...0824Medium.jpg
That's unfortunate, there are quite a few people in Australia that I suspect need replacement MAF's...and there are quite a few dead MAF's floating around that could have been shipped to you :p
in other news I'm in ipswitch for the next few weeks so you should pop down and show off your car :)
That one was my old faulty one. I also have 2x spare NA MAFs as well. Ipswich is only 22hrs away I'll jump in the car now :lol:Quote:

Our Intercoolers, my Roomates Cyclone 4G63 with his 30$ borger turbo, a a portion of our large turbo collection. these are the fully assembled\non blown ones. a couple 14B's, a 15G, and a T25, oh and my big ass calipers that are forcing me to find some bigger rims for my 3000gt so i can install them.
Getting my two other 15G's ready to be sent off to be ported and rebuilt by the Lovely Jeff at Turbo Auto. car's gonna be fun to drive. more so then it already is.
deleted the ps cooler,moved my horns, made new brackets and move my fmic back 1.5inches so i wouldnt have to cut my new bumper but, in doing so had to cut the ic pipes and thro on some couplers. i turnd the fmic around so all the fins are new for the new bumper. added new black satin fenders and bumper(pulled sideskirts to do). relocated my active areo motor so my rear fin would still work. added my jackhammer made front crash bar.
