isnt modding such fun

Yeah it can be a royal PITA sometimes, but we all keep doing it for some reason.



Today I had a few things I wanted to get straightened out before I go to Intense in a few days. I’ve had a slight miss when I first fire up the car and a small vacuum leak. The vacuum leak was easy just the rubber T on the LIM needed to have the vac lines reseated.

I pulled a few plugs (NGK TR55s) to check to see how they are burning… They look good temp wise but you can tell I’ve been running pig rich. & I also found my problem causing the misfire; my #6 plug boot was barely on the plug.

Plug #3


Plug #4


Plug #6



I also tweaked the throttle cable bracket to allow for WOT again.


I also changed my oil and put in a new PCV valve for the heck of it.

I’m looking forward to Thursday with great anxiousness.

I can't wait for ya!!

edit: addressed wrong person

You are still running on your stock PCM or do you have the new MAF etc tables in your pcm?

I had Intense write a pcm for me with new tables for the LQ4 MAF and delete certain codes and such for the cam. I told them once it was running I was going to get a trans and dyno tune so they went very rich on the fueling purposely for safety till I get on the dyno

Coming home from work today I was merging onto the freeway and the trans was in 3rd gear. I eased into the throttle so it wouldn’t down shift into 2nd; but just my luck it shifted into 2nd. Funny thing is the revs came up but I didn’t speed up any in that second before I got out of the gas. This transmission will just be in the knick of time, I also rolled over to 174k this morning.

I talked to Todd today and I’m going with 3k stall and Intense is going to get the subframe bushings & hardware for me, for less then half the local stealership wanted

I'm in Columbus now, I've been here since 7:30pm. I got stuck in some major traffic leaving home and my transmission was slamming on the shifts like never before . But I made it here, in the morning I'll have 8miles to drive to Intense. Feel free to come by & visit

Ed

A little nervous yet? (lot of cash lol)

That car should be all kinds of fun after the tranny lol.

Nervous? Nah I was only nervous about the 160miles coming down to Columbus; I'll push her a$* to Intense now if I need to! Yeah tomorrow I will spend almost as much at Intense as I paid for my car 2 1/2 years ago Soon she will be a brand new car

How was today???
