Drove it across the Golden Gate.
Pics or it didn't happen;)
I see you're graphing AFR but must be scaled for gas not E85? I'm surprised you're running it that lean.Quote:

Other cars! :teapot:Quote:

Yeah!
I pressed out the front lower ball joints & am now waiting for the correct gaskets that I ordered (Cherry messed up the part #s by accident) & this damn winter to end so I can begin sandblasting more parts in preparation of some powder coating.
finally started 60k service. not done yet though
also tore out srs box. weights of srs box/bracket and steering wheel if anyone's interested(grams)

also cabling weighs about 150 g and the clockspring 200g
Finally got around to pulling my trans. Special thanks to Bryan (sergechronos) for helping aka doing most of the work. My participation declined when I got metal or something in my eye. BTW it’s a good idea to wear safety glasses lol. Anyway yeah it cut my eye pretty good, I thought it was still in my eye for a long time because it hurt like hell but it must have just cut it then fell out or I flushed it out. I’m going to be pulling the trans apart in the next few days and jackhammer will be checking it out for me.
Damn Paul! That ha to have hurt!
Thank you for reminding me why I always put those on though. haha
-John
I normally wear them but didn't this time. I'll have them on when I put the damn thing back in, that's for sure.
It was the least I could do Paul.
Plus I got to watch your compressor blow up. Which was amusing if momentarily terrifying.
Today for my 3S I picked up my old heads from the machine shop to sell, filed a claim with USPS for busted glass headlight covers, and sold a handful of parts to bring money in. Hopefully can order what little bits I still need/want for the engine at least

Seriously though, good to see you finally getting to that transmission. First step in getting that beast back on the road!
Lol don't be fooled. I did do most of the work under the car. Believe he was just getting the DP off. I did the rest of the work on the ground. That's what he pays me for (with beer and steak.)
His car is such a beast though that it broke the spring on the shifter :p

I wish I would have seen it happen. I need to post pics of the carnage. lolQuote:

I'll bring it up this weekend or next (since Wayne will be traveling.) Just make sure to loop me in when you do it.

Yesterday: Washed it! Deleted injector resistors and set up AEM for Peak and Hold driver.
Today: Plan is to pull dash to replace vents and install AEM gauges.
I'd be more interested in this. Any details/info/part numbers would be appreciated?

Which one did you get? I have the Mazda one I need to install.

I grabbed this one from an 03 Grand Prix. its the thicker unit with dual lines so it displays both temp and direction at the same time.
I will be making a write up as soon as I'm done with the last 2 mounts. In total it will cost around $55 for what I have done for all 4 mounts. I just need to make sure about the fitment on the front 2 bushings before I go around telling people it will work haha. Should be about 2-3 days and ill have the W/U done.Quote:

yeah, very easy to install just 5 wires (3 if you dont have a mirror with temp display). power, ground, 2 wires for the temp sensor, and then a reverse wire. the reverse undims the mirror when you put it in reverse. you can either tap into the reverse light wiring after the switch or just tap it into the ground wire (but then it doesnt undim in reverse). you can find access to the reverse wire in the passenger side kick panel and since I was running my wires down the passenger side a-pillar I went ahead and tapped into the reverse wire. works great.Quote:

How far is it from the collector now? I have to install one, and it would be easier to install it on the catback vs the D/P.Quote:

You want the wideband in front of the cat, and 36" (of piping) from the rear turbo
No cats ;)
Didn't get to the dash yesterday, but I did take the wife to dinner in it. Crappy pic but oh well....

I put mine in the rear section of the test pipe. When I had it at the merge of the front and back it was getting overheated as soon as I gave it any throttle. I figured test pipe would be easiest since I could pull it out to have it done and there is more clearance for where the cat was.
^That's where mine is.
Bought a flex fuel sensor from local GM dealer. They even had the one I wanted (13577429) in stock and gave me the wholesale price. Procrastinating on pulling dash.
