That's right folks... The POS is on the road and ready to kick some rear!!


Ok, so it needs a little tuning.... and a Translator... and a little rewiring... but I did drive it home from Josh's shop yesterday. Having some major issues with MAS's. The Blaha won't idle at all, and I got un unhacked one with just the honeycombs missing (both), idle is better, but it still wants to die until it gets warmed up. Also seems like it's missing.

The drive home was hilarious... I had at least 3 cars that acted like they wanted to play. I didn't feel safe not having the boost controler set yet, and not being able to read my boost gauge or my A/F gauge (lights aren't working). Kristy also said that I was leaving large clouds of black smoke when I took off. blink.gif I'm hoping it's just that I'm running rich. I'm gonna have to get with one of you fellas with a logger soon. Tranny actually doesn't grind, but it seems like it's hard to get into gear. Hopefully it's just because it's been sitting dry for a while.

I'm gonna have a set of 5-point harnesses for sale in a little bit. Travis, this might be your chance. It just takes to darn long to get buckled up if your doing a lot of quick stops. i'm gonna look for a differnt style, something that might work better with the stock seats, too.

i want to send out a big Thank You to everybody who helped out. Josh, Kris, Nate, Travis, Darryl, and all the rest of you for even just the moral support. No way this would have ever happened without you. cool.gif

I'm gonna try to get some pics today.

I am so relieved... maybe I can have a little fun this summer. biggrin.gif

Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately some more of the expected bugs started rearing their ugly head today on a trip out to Chillicothe. I apparently have a decent oil leak (through the oil cap I think), the cheap vaccum line I got from Autozone is colapsing on me, and under hard accelleration, the exhaust is hitting the bottom of the car (no flex section). Oh and the pesky CEL keeps coming on. rolleyes.gif

Idle seems to be slowly fixing itself, maybe the computer just needed a chance to relearn how to control the car.

Anybody got a spare oil cap? I'm thinking mine might not be quite right to begin with.

Rob
