Im hoping to have that done by summer time with a safe 7-8 psi maybe higher if I can find a really good tuner. A buddy of mine with a mk4 supra is gonna walk me through it.

Ej with my brothers eg:

Looks good. I want a teal EJ1 ridiculously bad

Believe it or not, I used to hate teal coupes but this one really made the color grow on me. And I finally got to get on the Ls, and man, I'm enjoying it. Only problem is its nots letting me rev past 5500.

Fixed the broken vc stud and took it for a quick drive.

Notice the broken stud covered up with electrical tape:


Fixed:

- Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:45 pm #301372 Havent done anything major with it lately. Cleared out my trunk, had a bunch of junk in it, then just took pictures. Patiently waiting to get my catalytic converter welded up and take it through emissions then start having fun with it. Trying to collect body panels as well.




Also selling my quick release to fund a slim one:

- Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:58 pm #301373 Nice update! I'm glad you enjoy it. I wonder why it won't let you rev past 5500. You may need to calibrate the TPS.

- Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:16 am #301374 Thats what I was thinking it was cause I went and looked around the motor and noticed the TPS was broken (prrobably happened when putting the motor in by myself). So Im gonna take that one off and slap on the one from the z6 and hopefully it'll fix the problem.

- Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:29 am #301376 Sweet! That would probably fix it! Let us know!

Will do man.

Small update, got some Work Lugnuts for 30 bucks, dirt cheap. I think they will complement the Work Equip 03's well.

Before, my old crappy Drag ones:


After, new Work lugs with Key:

- Wed Apr 11, 2012 5:09 am #301514 Looks great, glad to hear its swapped and ready to go....you should paint those side moldings...$10 and youre cherry..makes a huge difference...how did you like the rywire harness??? Been thinking about getting one, but I am also considering tucking the harness myself.

***EDIT*** - Looked back and saw that you have the Rywire dizzy harness, not the tucked engine harness, oops.

- Wed Apr 11, 2012 5:23 pm #301548 Will definitely pick up a can of that trim paint when I get all the other stuff out of the way lol. It's really been bothering me but I have to get the major priorities out of the way first. And yea, the rywire was just for the dizzy. Their quality is really good and I would recommend them but the price is high. If you have the skill I would try building a tucked harness yourself.

*Should be getting my lip today and hopefully get flanges put on my catalytic converter. Will update.

- Wed Apr 11, 2012 11:35 pm #301579 Got the lip, started by removing the bumper:


Gotta love the OEM lip:



Since the bumper was busted I up I decided to just screw it in since im missing hardware. Should be getting my new bumper soon since its just sitting at a friends house.

Done:



And I was bored and itching to touch my car so I did this just for fun lol, Frankenstein mod:




Didnt get the cat done, but ny dad is gonna take it tomorrow to get it done. My goal is to get it smogged by Friday and Insured by Saturday.

- Thu Apr 12, 2012 2:18 am #301589 Did you get the TPS fixed?

- Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:00 am #301592 Not yet, I have to make a run to autozone or something to find the right type of bit, since its star shaped, to fit the screw or whatever it is and something to read the voltage. But it gives me no problems on normal driving and doesnt throw a code so I might hold off and let my brother walk me through it so I dont mess up.
