what kind of work is being done on your car?

Me - I've been busy with some final electrical wiring (seat heaters, Amp / speakers, and an automatic shut-off light on the Push button start), finished up all of my interior carpet except the tranny cover, trying to get 2 edges bound so I can finish installing the LAST PIECE OF CARPET! :D also installed way too many riv-nuts to mount my front splash panels, installed one brake-duct vent for the Earl's fresh air hose (DS will be done tonite / tomorrow). And spent some time re-locating the DS Ultrashield Rally seat so there is more slider travel and clearance, dropped the back of the seats 1 notch to increase the incline for a more comfortable and lower ride (6 hours to London!!), and added another track thru-bolt on the passenger side slide. THANKS AGAIN Paul for the quick weld job, the seat is much more secure now! (I couldn't access and put a nut on the rear bolt before). I also man-handled the shoulder bolsters on the new seats to tweak them to clear body. Only a slight bend and they fit VERY well now. Car's been up on Jack Stands for 2 weeks and I can't wait to drop it down and take it for a spin. STUPID RAIN!


So, what are you doing?

I think Rich solved his bad running engine problem with a new PCU and O2 sensors. What else Rich?

Dan finalized his winter rebuild and is getting a final tune after some Lean issues (?)

Paul is putting the "final" tune on his new stack injection (looks AWESOME!) and is excited to show off his new gas tank mod (show off what you can't see now!:eek:)

Gene, did you get the throttle linkages issue resolved? Anything else?

I know Tim is addressing some wheel stub issues and checking out new / wider wheels and tires. Any decisions yet?

Rick installed new Stainless Steel Side Pipes. They look and sound TERRIFIC!!

Mike Marshall has his re-positioned engine back in and tearing up some track.

Tom M and Bob are working away on their new kit builds.

Mike / Keith / Gary / Steve / Skip / others?
 
I washed mine.
Changed the tfi module.
Installed a front bar and have made numerous shock and 5 link adjustments, still not satisfied!
And yes the rain sucks!
 
Chrome Roll Bars, Hawk brake pads, two new front wheels and four new tires. Would be nice to take a ride. Order some stuff from Finish Line motor emblems rubber groumets for front bumper
and Glass Wind Wings.

Rick:D

What about the new side pipes? Did you ever get them on? if so, how do they sound?

Mine is runnning well after the first mile, which leads me to suspect a minor vacuum leak thay seals when the engine heats up. I'm having trouble finding it even using starting fluid. Past that, the car is running well and pulling hard. I may need some new tires soon. :rolleyes:

Rick:)
 
I've ordered the spacers for my axle center hub as well as two new rear rotors. Will keep my current wheels for the summer, or however long it takes me to make a wheel/tire decision. Ordered two new rear tires from Tire Rack, those will get put on Tuesday. Need to get the car somewhat cleaned up for London, other than that waiting for weather to clear. Anyone want to play hooky tomorrow afternoon?
