What did you do today to your 3/S?

Finally put over 500 miles on the rebuild.

Well, the last time it rained here in Phoenix I turned on my rear wiper and it insisted on wiping despite the switch's efforts to tell it otherwise. So I unplugged it and instead of buying a new switch (I plan to delete the rear wiper eventually anyway) I put the available space to use;



Bought a blank plastic piece that fits into the stock hole in the dash and mounted two switches to it. The left one is just in there for future use, and the right one turns my amp on and off.

Started the 2g up to let it run for bit since its been sitting for winter. After the what I assume was a collapsed lifter started to quiet down at operating temp I started to hear what I think is some faint rod knock...Not exactly happy so I turned it off and walked away. We will see what happens in the spring.

Didn't necessarily do anything to the Stealth, but I did line the drawers on my new tool chest and put away/organize all my old and new tools. I made a list of other tools I need to pick up to either complete sets, or to just add to the collection.

My goal is to have a tool chest full of tools and use the smaller tool box I just emptied to stay in my car and have it full of basic handtools to at least get me out of any jams I may run into.

Trying to figure out what type of stand is needed to start an engine outside of car. Go engineering skills!

Well, not today, but on Friday I met up with Jester to do some more tuning on my car.

Got my idle issue sorted. It would go crazy lean when coming out of a rolling stop (like a rail road crossing or very slow corner) finally narrowed it down to when the ISC went below 50. So, changed it not to do that anymore and problem has all but gone away. I think it will be completely gone after a few miles and the ECU learns the new settings. Could have bypassed the the learning feature and eliminated it completely on our own. But I like the idea of the car being able to adjust itself based on real world conditions.

Also, pretty sure we've maxed out my current set up. Completely stock engine on 93 pump with EVO 560cc, 19THL exhaust and supporting mods. I'm getting right over 400 at the wheels. I was originally aiming for 500, but after a lot of research I don't think that is possible without heads on 93.

So, I will work on making my engine bay pretty, enjoy the 400+ for a year then probably jump on the e85 or meth bandwaggon and get that 500+.

I've seen people start engines while they hang from the hoist just fine. Just need a bellhousing.
