What did you do today to your 3/S?

Did a little roadtrip to really feel out the car. Covered about 600 miles. Car felt great. Funny the dual core fmic was pretty much cold! every time I stopped and touched it even after hard pulls. Plenum I can now touch with my hand. Couldn't do when car was stock. Pulls never Went above 18 psi though, mostly around 15-18 psi range. Some Counts of knock randomly here and there. Never above 8 Counts though. Probably something I can tune out with ecuflash in the fuel map. Just havn't been arsed yet.

Only sucky thing was some d*ck stole my licenseplate...

Installed the upper bumper brackets, both interior and exterior without taking the bumper off. The rubber lip was interesting to install. I pull it as tight as I could (it's touching the snake eyes on each side) and it still looks a little wavy. Maybe that will go away with some time and heat? Then I spent some time making my deft racing CF hood fit a little better. I'd never noticed how bad the fitment is. It bulges in the front middle where the latch is, so I tried loosening that bracket to pull it down. The holes in the bracket aren't slotted enough to make a difference, but I did find out that I used one of the bracket mounting screws to support my oil cooler. That was fun to resecure with the bumper in place. Oh well, the fitment is better than it was -- not awful. If I painted the hood white, I think it would make the uneven gaps considerably more obvious.

Almost done installing AEM UEGO wideband, AEM oil pressure, AEM boost gauge and Pioneer stereo in the VR-4. Ripped the ATX trans out of my Montero Sport I just bought as a beater to pull my fishing boat. Shop said the planetary gears are welded together and a total rebuild is 2k. Previous owner never changed the oil or filter in 150K miles. This thing is harder to work on than a VR-4.

Adam, you should post some pics of the car, I always love clean white 1Gs.

installed the 99 coolant reservoir behind the front bumper and removed the stock reservoir and fuel pump resistor bracket. gained a good chunk of space up front so now I can put a catch can there.
