wow, jealous

Got the new fuel lines on and the car running today, it fired right up with fresh gas. The stuff that came out of the tank and lines was the color of cranberry juice.

It runs really good, but the cat is clogged really badly and started glowing after only a short time. So it would only boost to about 5psi and didn't have much power. That pos is coming off tomorrow and I'll take it for a real drive.

Ahhhhhhhh.

Sweet deal you got there. I'd say after you get all the basics sorted you need wheels/suspension first. And what's up with the hood alignment? It doesn't look like it sits flush. Was it in an accident?

[turboeta]

Yeah, wheels and suspension are a must. I'm just getting it running/driving good first. The hood cable is stretched so it doesn't fully release and the hood can't close. I'll be fixing that today

Well my shark is almost back on the road. Got my Ms2v.3 + DIYat 12' harness + Jimstim v1.4

Everything is going back together this week then the tuning begins, can't wait to enjoy M30 boost :)

[Gooch]

Awesome, where'd you find it?

[turboeta]

Found it on BF.c back in may, was about an hour from my house. Somehow I managed to get first dibs on it :p
