Picked this up for the time being! Threw some wheels and coilovers on her!
|
runs, but rough. some sensor is not getting power or somthing, if you disconnect the maf it still runs which makes no sense it should die which means its not really running off the ECU map, but a limp mode one, running incredibly rich . trying to sort it out, had to re wire head and tailights also, was a very very large pain in the ass! a whole days wiring to figure it out!! (nothing electrical was working) odometer turns on but dosent go up at al. LOL
|
WOW that sucks! Mine isnt running yet, but all of the electrical is fine, lights come on fine, and everything on the interior was working fine too! Was in the process of wiring up double din before she went to fighters!
|
damn. well yeah somthing fried or somhting i guess..still trying to get some stuff working and its still in limp mode. trying to figure out what sensor is not getting power..sigh..but hey it feels nice to drive it after a year and a half off the road :)

so tell me what you guys think about this pricing from fighters?
--Things that have been done/installed-- rad hoses installed (2) upper ic pipes fab'd/installed intake/filter trimmed and installed power steering hoses fab'd/installed power steering resevoir sourced and mounted blowoff valve installed throttle cable installed (which i already had, they just had to plug it in) old fan controller removed and new wiring run and installed downpipe fab'd and I ordered a new power fc $947 total for all was $1950 ish dont remeber exact change so right around $1000 for work and the labor what do you guys think?? btw they have had it since march25 almost a month and a half |
id say thats average.. slow work.. but sounds right if your piping and stuff is stainless.
|
Ic pipes are aluminum
|
Congrats! Tell us more about it. How does it drive, etc? Does it feel slower/heavier compared to the rotary?

it feels pretty light still, handles the same, just lights up the rear tires alot easier, LOL, still getting used to no power steering though with a 32mm steering wheel!

not sure... they said they haven't started yet, not sure why, why do you not have power steering?
