today is sunday, february 1, 2004...
and my car finally runs.
granted, it doesnt run right...
my hacked obd0 dizzy is all jacked up, and my car won't rev over 4k...
which, with an ITR transmission with 4.7whatever final drive, means that my car will not drive above 70mph.
also, it idles at 2500. damn injectors.
but it runs, goddammit! my obd2 dizzy is supposed to come in tomorrow morning at around 11am, so hopefully it'll be running right sometime shortly after that
w00t!
sticker says 'Fastlane Santa Maria, CA 805-736-0272' in case you were wondering...got my itr tranny from them.
i took my tach out, too. fuck a tach...my gsr cluster goes to 9500 anyways.
this is as fast as it goes at the moment. note that the temp gauge is dead, and the gas gauge is at about a litte less than a half tank...nope. the gas gauge shows the temp, and the temp gauge shows nothing. dont know why, dont care. i moved the wires around and nothing changed. my gas light works, so when it comes on i put gas in there. im getting around 8mpg with my damn injectors...also note the 505 miles on my tripodometer thingie...yup yup...my clutch is completely broke in, and its never been revved over 4k!
the ever-present CEL is there, too.
also, today i cleaned up my engine bay. moved my ghetto-ass coolant reservoir under the radiator support, in the spot my ac condenser used to be. looks a lot better than it did. i cleaned up my wiring, re-routed some of it, and simple green'd my entire engine bay and hood so its nice and shiny and clean now. looks a LOT better than it did before. i was surprised at how a few millimeters of grime an shit can make a HUGE difference in appearance...
i also repainted my valve cover and dented up my hood skeleton thingie where it was hitting the valve cover. the drivers-side corner of the valve cover hits the hood itsself (not just the hood skeleton), so theres nothing i can really do about that...
oh yeah, i drilled out a hole so i can use a CAI whenever i buy one. why dont the ek's already have a hole there???
i dont know whats up with the blue tint on the photos...hmm...
this coming friday im going to the track at baytown, hopefully ill have some decent slips to post
w00t!
