Thanks Duke!
I was actually out there in the rain and cold installing new PIAA Horns and the Fuel Lab FPR I just got in. It solved my low fuel pressure problems and most likely the issue I was having with the car running lean! I have yet to start it back up as the battery is on charge. I'm going to start it up in the next hour and start dialing in the settings as my Palm is now working again. I can set some base stuff but I have yet to get the car registered so I can't really drive it. Plus I have a small oil leak from the rear turbo return line.. I was hoping to fix the small oil leak today but I might not be able to fix it till tomorrow depending on the weather.

Hey Greg,
I think the most common leak issue with those return lines/pan is that the bolts run right through the pan and need to be sealed as well.
Cheers

Well when I initially installed the lines I just used high temp silicone to seal them to the pan. I have the correct gaskets now and will try to tackle them tomorrow. I just hope that's where the leak is!
After that I have to figure out what the hell is going on with the palm. I tries to hook it up and I keep getting a "serial comm error" which means it is not reading the ECU. i just got a new logger cable as I was having the same issue with my other cable and figured it was just bad. I hope the ODB1 port is actually sending out the signal from the ECU. Just something else on the list I have to look at.

So the weather was really nice out today so I decided to mess with the car a little. I didn't get to fix the oil leak yet. I might try to look at it tomorrow as it should be nice outside tomorrow also. I have found that the ecu is not sending out a diagnostic signal. I checked all the wiring even hooked the Multimeter directly to the ECU and nothing. I am most likely going to have to send it off to get repaired. I had money set aside to get the Dejon BlowThru Y-pipe but I guess that will have to wait. Maybe the ECU issues also explains the high idle RPM's that I have yet to figure out...LOL
I know a bunch of you have been wanting some updated picture also so here ya go!

I still need to do the evil eye mod on the hood. That is the reason I have not yet painted it. it;s also the reason my the turn signals, lights and fenders are still out of alignment. Not going to mess with lining everything up until I do the evil eye mod.

One helluva Job,you should be proud!! That is gonna be a mean looking ride.I am really impressed with the quality of your work.That is how it ought to be done!

Not feeling the flat black paint job, just not my thing, but major props to you on a VERY nice restore job!
-
Car came out great! Congrats, and good work so far.
-
Congrats on the save. I read through this thread before you got it all painted up, and it looked pretty decent then too, lol.
-
I can't wait til I get to see this ride out in the wild one day. :D Looks great!
-
Looks great Greg. Keep up the awesome work! What are your plans for the hood, just keeping it evil eye? Are you going to do a splitter on the bottom of your bumper at all?
