Welp got a few more of my boost leak issues fixed now I just need to start cleaning her up etc, get my tach/speedo working and i'll be off to the races



I'm not really sure what's making them do what they're doing it's like theres a bad ground somewhere but i have NO idea where to look for it. I may have to take the cluster out, again, and see if there's anything visable that doesn't look quite right. But yeah had the girlfriend in her tonight drove about 1/4 mile down the road after sealing one of the leaks, she said and I quote "Wow that felt nice." Very happy with the car reguardless of the headaches i've had/will get from owning it.



T.c.

No complaints here. I just mentioned to someone else that I have the 10-8-10 boost pattern, no 3k hesitation and the car starts like it can't wait to be driven. And despite the hot summer it's has been running cool.

I guess no car over a decade old is ever totally without issues though. I've still got an intermittent CEL for my "Intake Air Thermosensor" which I've been procrastinating about changing out. But that will wait until this winter. Right now, it's time to go for a drive.

too much roll...but running flawless also!





some hard braking





I'm yet to ride in a car that can stop faster/better than mine...I've riden some FD's with upgraded brakes and they didn't stop as well.
