Looka all the crapola I got rid of :D...well, you cant see most of the stuff I swapped and it's nothing in contrast to some of you guys but dammit it's a step! Test drives were today...tomorrow is the commute. Cross your fingers everything goes well. I worry too much but with all the gaskets and parts I replaced I feel like I am BOUND to have a problem somewhere.
Didn't touch the Stealth today. That's significant because for the last 8 weeks, everyday has been spent either doing the RT conversion, detailing it, working on little stuff to get ready for the NG, driving to the NG, racing at the NG, driving back from the NG, getting it ready for Extreme Autofest, driving to Mod or showing the car at the NG and Extreme Autofest. Doing nothing for a change felt good.
If the title was what do you NEED to do... Id have a large list... haha
I secured my boost controler's vacuum line that popped off sending my boost through the roof and making it run like poop every time I accelerated...
Yesterday - changed oil/filter, and while empty installed sending unit for full sweep oil pressure gauge. Today, will hopefully get the gauge mounted and wired, and perhaps wire up and mount the homelink unit I've had for a while.
Leaving for Tennessee in the morning, but AC needs fixed when I get home, and I need to track down my the f'ing plug for my windshield washer pump.... I apparently left it unplugged last time I was in there and can't seem to find it without probably taking the strut brace, battery, battery tray etc. etc. out.
Order'd my Radiator from Split Second Motorsports today, and talked to them about single turbo manifolds a little ;)
Are you coming for Import Alliance?Quote:

Replaced my old piece of shit Blitz BOV that was stuck open with a nice new shiny TurboXS racing bypass valve [Type H34]. Plumbed it in instead of vent to atmo like the Blitz. Removed my MAF as I no longer need it and fitted a completely gutted one. Fitted a proper silicone reducer on the ebay Y-pipe.
As you can see the piston is stuck half way so all my boost was escaping :sad:

Old MAF with everything cut out [was faulty already so no loss]

Crappy mangled 3" ebay silicone hose and nice new reducer.

Lots more to do next week :DevilSmile:
Broke one of my cheap ass rims last night doing 30mph and hit a manhole cover, was in a new neighborhood i had never been too and they still hadn't put the top layer of asphalt on it. I just flat didn't see it...
so put my new wheels on...
also ATTEMPTED to score a new Turbo from a junkyard. but it just had the most ridiculously placed bolts ever, could not get to them at all. so only got it half way off...fail...it was nice as fuck too, it was a T4 Garrett 1.10a\r top mount Turbo, it was a good size...might try again another day if its still there...i doubt that tho lol.
Washed and cleaned the car today, getting ready for import alliance tomorrow morning!
Drove it to work. Had a lot of fun :suspect:
