Tuned it up, seems a bit quicker to me. I'm wondering if cat, fwi, and PCM will make the differences I want it to. I'd like to be up to par with a stock SSEi, think that will happen with those mods? I don't want to dump money into this car, when I could sell it, and just buy a decent ssei for probably under 3k.



There'* another video in that folder that I'm not going to post and won't be there long. I was going about 95 trying to get a 0-100 vid, and I saw a small dip in the road. It got bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until it turned into a hill. I knocked my head off the roof and all you hear at the end of the video is a CRUNCH LOL. They just re-paved the road, and it makes no sense why there'* a new hill, because I've been down that road faster than I was going then and it was completely smooth. I'm confident it didn't damage the under carriage, but it snuck up on me so I had no time to embrace, plus I wanted both hands on the wheel incase something wanted to happen, I wouldn't land in a random farmer'* field. They didn't like when that happened in the Grand Marquis during the snow. I held a drift/fishtail for .7miles one way. On the way back, the drift didn't hold so well and I had a pair of headlights turn on in the middle of the field and start coming towards me. I never knew that thing cut through snow so well... apparently better than whatever the set of headlights were because it disappeared.

Good news? Ever since I did that hill hop... I'm not hearing the clunking/knocking noise in the front end anymore. Great... probably broke it, but at least I'll know what it is when it falls off lol.

Here'* the original run:

She seems a little off IMO. I understand that you have a stock setup and mine is not realy stock but close. We have almost the same car except I have a vacc. controlled trans and a CAI that gets very cold air.

Yeah, you're pushing a little bit more power too. Probably not enough to push the tach 2k further on launch though. I really want to port my LIM... but I've been hearing of all these people losing the lowers in their motors after porting it. Then I'd have to deal with the warranty company and explain I didn't touch the motor lol.

EDIT: Then again... hmm... I wonder how much an L67 and matching trans (4T80?) would be to throw in there. Hmmmm.... lol. Somebody pass the mod bug spray...

Yep.. it'* in the 'to be done' list in the signature lol. Right now I have a box I'm trying to fill with parts before I do it all in December. It includes right now a Flowmaster 80 crossflow muffler, Felpro 2nd Design LIM gasket, Thermostat Housing Gasket (for the 180*), and a dogbone mount. To be put in there before December (work time) will be an APN UIM kit, some non-coolant, Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil + filter, INTENSE 180* t-stat, and a magnaflow Hi-flow bolt-on cat. After that comes the Intense PCM and FWI

I may start a thread asking how many people trashed their lowers by porting their LIM, and see if I can figure out why it happened and how to avoid it. Because... I REALLY, REALLY, REALLLLYY want to do it lol. You don't understand the strength I need to keep the dremel away from that LIM :P lol.

Looks like about a 8.5 second 0-60..stock my SSEi does about 7.5 but after headers + tune + pulley i'm around 5.5 to 6.0 to 60.

Umm..... wait a minute, are you related to the "putertopia" with all the problems in the '92-'99 forum ? I've been sitting here making a list of things for him to check to get his car back on the road again safely (lol, sorta).

Maybe you could sum up somewhere what problems you still have, and how serious you think they are .

Only problems as of right now is that strange clunk in the front end is back, and tc I think shudders between 45-60 with tc locked. Other than that, she'* a-ok lol.
