A very successful weekend, yellow fogs installed, new steering stabilizer, and I finally put my wheel spacers on after almost a year of having them.... The only thing missing is my new euro charged decal

 

I took my entire custom intake piping out and put on 4 coats of the plasti-dip that people are raving about. I figured that some people are using this stuff on their wheels and other parts, so I'll see how well it works on my intake. Letting it adhere over night and will put it on in the am.

 

Drove the crap out of it trying to keep up with Nick Jim Howard John and Tom. Had a great time fellas

 

I decided that today was the day to re solder the RCM, I had previously done my old NA and my spare, but I had never got around to do the 6.

True to form, two of the three connections were obviously weak and required to be fixed. I de soldered the three and then re soldered them.

Now back to the brake job.

 

Washed it yesterday!

 

If I'm reading that datalog correctly, you're only seeing 7 degrees of timing. WOW! Ask your tuner to up it to 18 and let that dog eat. Sounds like you have lots of power setting dormant.

 

I tried that and it melted. Good luck.

 

Oh boy......I'll have to spray the high temp paint I have over it then.

 

It was an epic time today, John. Truly awesome.

 

Just admired the two, and saw the sun rise in the East and drove them (wife too) toward the west...just a good long drive.

 

I spent the day removing the plasti-dip, which wasn't so bad being that it is like a rubberized coating, and repainted it with high temp black paint. I didn't want to take a chance of any of that stuff melting onto the engine. Lookin' good now!

 

Arrived home at four this morning. Car is not idleing as smooth as it should. Dropped it off at the shop. Hope it is a minor problem Car still has the origional crank and cam shaft sensors. maybe that is it

 

Ordered MikeR's Camber arm. , put my 6 up on Jack stands so I can pull the wheels and take the rear end down to replace the arms and send the wheels back to the Powder coater's for a re-do , and the beat goes on,,,,,,, John if you wouldn't treat that car so rough it wouldn't run rough... J/K GLAD u got home safe...

 

Dang it Howard if you would slow up a bit I wouldn't have too....You and your buddies drive deep into the back roads of Tennessee with your hair on fire Knowing that I would never find my way back to running water and air conditioning if I didn't keep up. I swear I heard banjo music at times The only time I pic up the pace with my car is up there.

 

It's much easier to remove unmelted.

Detailed yesterday,
Tried to smooth/sand the seam in the door pulls...they have cut me twice.
It almost made it sharper.
I installed the fuzzy half of Velcro behind the pulls..no worries now.
Also put a piece of it under the hatch stops...to stop the rattles and to cover paint wear.
And...put a small square of it under the hood bump/stop on the frame where paint is missing....it bugs me. Every engine bay pic seen here has that spot worn/missing paint.

Drove it around looking for car gtg's...need warmer weather for most I guess.

 

Installed a new passenger side upstream O2 sensor, free-air calibrated my wideband O2 sensor, datalogged for Jeremy, and received two revisions.

 

another picture of the silver roof molding, I really like the look on the black coupe...

 

Gave her a quick wax today and finally able to upload pictures

 

Got the top working! Hasn't worked since we bought our car almost three months ago!
