Cleaned up the grimey interior a bit yesterday and the wife and I took a nice 45 minute cruise to my favorite bbq place. No pictures of the Stealth but here is one of the best chicken and ribs in the world.

What bbq place is that Josh?
Clem's Cafe on Route 22 in Blairsville. It's about 10 minutes down the road from Pittsburgh Raceway Park.Quote:

i'd rather take a radio flyer to work than go back to 3sdie.
so why do people feel the need to post anything but 3s related things in this 3s specific thread :stupid2:

Put a top on the transmission tunnel! Just have to cap the end once the driveshaft solution is finalized. Also to note, I picked up a new shifter. It is from a GTO and it's ideal as it pushes the shifter back a few inches. The result is the shifter in basically the EXACT same spot as the stock 3S! Woot

Because not everyone owns/currently drives a 3s. The thread should be "What did you do to your car today?" as I have seen it on other forums,.Quote:

I guess because I still have mine, but I love my VX way more. 3/s is a pit of heartache for me.
Car looks great Falcon! I sure do miss my FD
Funny you say that about the shifter, I traded my OEM Hurst shifter straight up for the GTO one.
its been bothering me forever but i finally put the missing exhaust tip back on my 91 TT so now my OCD has been satisfied. took only 5 tries before i got the right size one lol. anyone want any extra 92+ exhaust tips btw?
Dropped my Fn01rc wheels off to be powdercoated and have tired mounted. Only took me 2 years to get around to it...
Can't wait to get them back now!

And a road trip...

Got bored and installed some id1000s, and some 3sx fuel rails. Parts for a new line from filter to rail and for an aeromotive FPR on the way. I want to be able to raise the base pressure if I need to.

Raising base pressure on 1000's? Planning on making some power!Quote:

Might be close, want the headroom. The stock rails were starting to corrode anyway, cars sat on and off too much on e85. The aluminum starts to get a white powder on it. Hopefully the 3sx rails are a less reactive alloy.
The walbro 416 will run out of flow a little early if I run 50psi base pressure and 30lbs of boost, so will have to address that if I push things.
They should give some pretty killer low pulse width controls for high z. I'm tired of messing with lazy low z injectors. I'll be using ev14's soon as well.

And installed all 30 studs!
On E85 with low z injectors in the 1000 range you will not hit the ~2ms non linear region, at least I didn't. On gas it would be close to that.Quote:

It really didn't make much difference, but could trip a misfire code on a stock ecu.
I haven't run the ID1000s yet, but hopefully in a couple weeks. Should get my trans back next week I hope.
Yeah, I'll have gas and e. With that said the issue with low z is that you are running a resistor pack and no driver(peak and hold) which kills any benefit from that style injector(they open lazy and this causes the flow pattern to be "meh" for a fraction of ms).Quote:

saw my tire was flat on my 3000gt so took it back to the shop and they installed a bad valve stem so they went ahead and switched it out. I also started restoring my rims. other than just drove the TT around for a bit.
Picked up my wheels from being powder coated, couldn't be happier!

Josh where did you get them done, and how much did you pay?

i went ahead and put my amateur restoration skills to the test and started the process of restoring my rims on my 93 3kgt. some before and after pics here. nothing extravagant but from 10 feet out its definitely alot cleaner looks great.
also from a previous post is a picture of the polished aluminum door runners installed Attachment 8830Attachment 8831Attachment 8832that i painted in red on my 91 TT i never posted.
Got my front end alignment more betterer than what it was. -2 degrees camber and 1/16" toe out. And the steering wheel is straight when the car is going straight, thats the key! Haha.
drives me crazy that when I am driving straight that my wheel is not TDC, but between 12 and 1.
Yeah... I'm way too sensitive about that myself :)
Are these OEM 1g brake calipers? I'm asking because without the huge spacers on there the wheel won't fit. Front tires poke out and I'm trying to change things up to make them sit inside the fender. Maybe it's just the wheel size. Tires are 245/40 r18.

Yep, OEM 1G TT brake setup.
The tire size isn't the problem. That is the correct size for 18's. The problem for wheels clearing TT brakes comes from offset and spoke design.
Being those are Motegi's they probably are more made for Eclipses and the like than they are for 3000GT's, especially TT's.
What most people don't realize is just because something has the same bolt pattern as your car, doesn't mean it is meant for your car.
replace my shifter cables. Old ones do not look good:

Did it help the shifting?

Oooh well let me/us know. Fwiw my southbend has been pretty damn good. We were having issues with our southbends at the same time a year and a half ago.
Probably 9-10k miles it's damn near stock smooth and quiet if you're gentle with the pedal. Really happy with it.
