today( 9-4-09) she is getting the following done
1. new drive seat bolt (not seat belt) welded on
2.bose cargo cover botls welded back on( previous owner cut them off but left the bose panel wich i recovered
3. exhaust with electric cut out!
rust has been fixed and wow did they do a amazing job, exhaust has been fabbed up and everything should be done by monay, it took abit longer than i thought it would have b.c they owner of the shop blew out his back, and he was letting me work with him on my weather stripping and tail lights and so its all goood,
Should I go with a wideband set up? if so wich one ? what eles should I buy or anything eles i need?
I can't wait to drive her,Its been too long and I have no toys to playwith now. Sold my dirt bike to buy a 99 ducati monster 750, but i need about 1g more so thats on hold. and it sucks having nothing that can go fast and that is fun!
led tail lights : drive side working and installed ( by my boss and I) ( did not have time to do the passanger side)
exhaust : It is done! but its waaaayyyy tooooo low to the ground so I am going to dig though all my parts and find my stock crossmember put that one back in and get the exhaust redone.( this is what the owner wants me to do ..... I think i will listen to him)
weather stripping not on just yet...........
f$$CK man why can't she be done all ready! I WANA GO FAST! I mean drive responsibly.....
I use an LC-1 from innovate. nice setup and i also have their G3 gauge permanently mounted in the car. Works great
You being MAF setup can even try the wideband fuel control in closed loop with the new wideband MAF bins available. I havent looked at it but sounds like a promising setup.
todays update on my car
dug though all my extra parts, to find the stock trans-crossmember. brought the crossmember to the shop , and they are going to do what they can... its almost too bad they have to cut everything up(it is very pretty)
~took pictures of all my parts I am trying to sell, now just have to upload and make a thread of left over parts, if anyone wants to buy anything let me know (shoot me a PM )
question for everyone out their what do you think about some hood pins?
example http://www.deftracing.com/aerocatch_...od_latches.htm something like that and ofcorse in black so it will fade away but still be their
then I am going to carpet the spare tire well in black carpet and make my amp wrack nicer9 instead of a pice of wood.
But not for long, I have afew problems on the way home/ while it was in the shop
1. I have a draw coming from my stero system some how
2. while at a stop light , my car wants to die. unless i give it gas( might be vac leak, didn't set the tpis sensor right, or might be cused by the electrical draw.) but when i give it gas it keeps the voltage up so she does not stall out.
I did not go above 35mph due to traffic but I realy wanted too, although I have to take it easy for the 1st 100 or so miles.
The cutout sound awsome!
So after I fix all these problems I Have afew ideas on what to do next just dont know wich fisrt.
1. buy a 99-03 ducati monster ( 750cc-900cc)
2. Buy new black (or black crome) wheels
3. aerocatch hood pins
4.new carpet/ door panels
5. new paint.( have a guy that will do a full paint job in 10 bussniss days for 2k.In a nicedeep tripple black or a custom color of my choice. kinda thinking about this b.c my t-t0p bar is off and my new soffseal weather stripping is not glued on yet.
6. other.
let me know and pictures will be up sometime within the next few days
