I still have a lot of paint to polish under hood, but installed some new fuel stuff, mac boost solenoid, group 51 battery, dual widebands, and redid the front injector wiring and tucked the crank and cas signal wires. Tucked the unused stock o2 wiring harness near the plenum. I think it is coming along:

Yeah I think that's the exact problem. Main battery has a 120 @ 30amps and the rear AGM only has an 80 @ 20amps.Quote:

I have Hawk HPS pads currently which I have liked for what the car does (DD that gets the occasional spirited mountain run) but might be interested in something else. What does everyone suggest for a reasonably priced street pad?
I got to hear music out of my 91 TT for the first time since i have owned it (almost 2 1/2 years). I bought a stock factory unit from the forums and as much as i wanted an aftermarket i just like that I can still play CDs and all the speakers sound good. plus it keeps my nice stock/sleeper look. but i only have 1 screw for the radio to mount it. anyone have a few they can spare ? lol
also just out of curiosity, i have been wanting to install a front strut brace but when i attempted to it would not clear the driver side A/C lines and would like to keep that on. is there a way to move them without damaging or would that require some type of custom fabrication? It seems like the foam around the lines is what is mostly in the way but is very close to rubbing up against it even if it werent there.
Bought it a new home:

I had the DR door jamb VIN label and towing safety label reproduced. The original ones were gouged up and not very readable. Looks like brand new now.

Pics, details, where can others get this done?
I'm kind of curious as well for future reference.

i did a week ago put a new platinum AGM battery when mine finally died. i always had a scraping noise when starting the car but with the new battery i havent heard it since so hopefully that will resolve that issue long term.

Finished up project dirty sohc. Replaced head gaskets, timing belt, water pump, distributer cap, rotor, plugs, and wires.
There were a few wires that the squirrel had gotten to that I had to repair. Runs well and shifts through all the gears.
The owner painted the valve covers and intake. Didn't turn out too bad.

Is this what they mean by two and a half car garage?

Car looks nice Uniuno. Is that a retro spec wing?
Thanks!
I don't think it is. I actually bought it second hand, but I'm pretty sure that was before retro spec came on the scene. I believe it is a C7 from 3sx.
I'd like another one for the stealth, I just don't feel like spending that kind of money. I got a smoking deal on this one, hard to pay full price now.
Removed the car cover, installed the battery, checked all fluid levels and drove it for the first time this year. Ready for UMG this weekend!
fitted a big filter. Was tiiight
10.25" filter can fit with evo maf :applause: :encouragement: than again I Think evo maf is more of an air restriction than the filter, but hey it can't hurt right :)
Yesterday I replaced the spark plugs as I was getting a little bit of a misfire when it was cold and the old plugs looked a bit fouled, also replaced a vacuum cap that was badly cracked and leaking so hopefully between the two the cold miss is gone. Also, I had previously bought the solid shifter bushings but the for/aft movement seemed to bind a bit so I had put the old bushing back in for the mean time and figured out what size spherical bearing to order. Finally got around to pressing the spherical bearing in yesterday. Now if only I could get rid of the last left/right slop when its in gear but that is coming from the shift tower on the trans itself so not sure what to do with that yet.
still daily driving the 3000gt. waiting for my GTO rear garnish to get here! kinda thinking i should do a front end rebuild with ball joints, bushings, etc since i am, getting alot of shake at 75mph and upward. the wheels are tight but i think that since everything on it is stock (57000 miles as well) its not so much mileage but the age getting to it now.
Well, been on the road a lot for work so my progress for anything has been limited. Swapped the MBQuart components in my BMW back out, didn't like the results. Went to Bavsound for a plug and play upgrade. Little quieter than the OE speakers were, but the sound quality is a bit better and more balanced.
Other than that, picked up a 6G74 long block that I'll be selling parts off of while working towards building a 3.7L with MIVEC heads (assuming it all comes together like I'd hope.) Also picking up yet another bigger set of TD05 turbos and a 2G shell (that's green :( )
Going to look into having the engine bay cleaned up and shaved a bit, and having it professionally repainted. May still do it myself, but..mehhh. That'd be a multiweekend project.
Finally swapped out the horrid front leather seats with a clean set of stock clothe ones that I picked up over a year ago.
Still want to pickup a set of corbeau's but this will do for now.

Helped a local guy with his chrome, 15g, '92 vr4. Started out with the tps being wrong, idle screwed up, and the AEM tru boost plumbed so the Wastegates had no signal. 18psi and 28 counts of knock... :O I'm surprised he didn't blow it sky high, he's been driving it like that for 6 months.
Fixed the tps and idle, fixed the boost controller plumbing, wired in the wideband to chrome, and ended up at 14psi on pump gas with minimal knock.

O, anddd it had spark blowout. All fixed in a couple hours. The first guy "knew what he was doing."

Those wouldn't be too hard to restore, they aren't ripped or anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW3kolsiXDAQuote:

Polished and waxed. Pictures do NOT do it justice. :D

Oh, yeah - installed my Supra pump and finally got my LCDBC update done.
Made a plug and play wiring harness for the Diamante climate control and installed it. For now the climate control is just sitting in the opening while I decide what the best route is for mounting. Also need to order some new bulbs and some amber or red acrylic to change the display from the original blue color. I may look at creating a plug and play setup (with wiring and mounts) if there is enough interest.
Hung the axle back part of my OEM exhaust, awaiting for my tips to come back from being polished. Getting the cable connected to the cam was tricky, but with stubbornness, I prevailed!!!
Fixing up the clone/chrome adapter harness. It was wired for a 94/95 so I have to require for a 91 and I also wanted to add some length and clean up the cluster of wires.
Only about halfway done, but my back and eyes need a rest.
I'll also be adding the small plug for things like map/wideband and ecu controlled fans. So is till need to get the plug and pins to wire it up.

That's a lot of soldering. Our car club hosted a car show yesterday. Hot day in the sun. You can see I have my stock seats back in now. I had a friend cut me some silver vinyl Mitsu logos for my headrests. Also ordered one of those amber gentex compass/auto dimming mirrors to try out. $64 off ebay with pigtail. My mirror constantly vibrates when driving. I can tell when a car is behind me but I can never make out what it is unless I reach up and steady the mirror.

CIPA 36500 mirror is plug and play but also adds temp and compass and maplights. I used to have that vibration issue until I replaced the mirror.
Link to Amber mirror please.Quote:

It's a gentex 453 mirror. You want to make sure the number on the back has the ZTVHL3 so that the wiring is easier. Here's a video I watched on youtube before buying. Has homelink, auto dim, and compass. I did find one that had temperature too in amber but it also had map lights. That would be awesome for a spyder but I didn't want 2 sets of lights. IDK if they make one with autodim/compass/temp/homelink all in amber.

I would love to find the Amber with temp and compass.Quote:

It ended up being the inner bearing dust shield. It was not seated all the way down and making some contact with the companion flange. Drove it around the block, squeak free!! Put a new inner bearing on anyways.
I had an amber one with the temp/compass/homelink/autodim. I got it at the junk yard and I do not remember what vehicle it came out of. I used it in my last F150 as I wanted the temp and autodim. So they do exist just not sure what it came out of. thinking it was Chevy/GMC/Cadillac as that is where I usually get them from. I know most of the newer ones have the OnStar thingy built in them also.
