Test drive day part II. A little input goes! :)

Well let me just say 9 psi boost goes not bad!
put a few pointers that ray gave me and things are
looking up, up to 9 psi at the moment, i have to do
some work on the normal sport function, and the
hold thing on the trani and i think i might have it 100%.
This thing sounds wild!!!
more as it comes

first thing I did was to put a exhaust on it,
added a couple jumpers , and some resistors to the
exhaust valve controls.
still have a strange idle but that will be easy to fix.

So... Jealous...

If I can't have it, NO ONE CAN!



Didn't you start this project just a couple of months ago? How much of this are you doing completely by yourself?

ok mine runs too, i used a haltech, so i gotta tune it a bit before i drive it, but im still psyched. im into the car about 7.5k. with all the rest of the stuff that i need, exhaust, suspension, tires, mystery stuff it should be under 10k to do the whole car.

mike> your car is it a 88ae? reason I ask is,
I have never driven a ae, the closest was a 89 TII but the it seemed
to ride much smoother, the ae seems to have a stiffer
suspension, it looks to have stock shocks but they are
stiff, almost feels like a gocart..

later

I think I still need my head examined but not for wanting to undertake this project. For always picking the wrong woman for me.

Im glad its not gonna be 20k cause that means I could have it running for sevenstock next year

We should get all the 20b FC's in one place at one of these gatherings some year
