What brand paint are you using?

[Zreberlcoe]

Omni I believe it's called.

Good way to start off this project, I knew ordering anything from ECS was a mistake. Their prices are just so attractive.


Did a little screwing around today. I had bought an AFM from a user on here and ever since it was put in the car I had a terrible idle and rpm dip off idle. So I hooked up a scan tool and watched the O2 sensor voltage.

Sure enough the car is scewed rich.


Did a little fondling of the AFM, made sure it had no dead spots.

Then played with the spring setting to get more air during idle and came up with this. It's slightly better, a little more scewed towards 450 millivolts.


And now there's no bog off idle, at operating temperature at least.

There's only so much you can do with these AFM's and this car has always ran rich. Someday I'll pay the car the respect and rebuild the motor with a snail attached to it.

To end the day I finished splitting the wheels so I can go get a quote on sandblasting and powder coating this week.


If there's time tomorrow I'll get started on sanding as many square feet of the car as I can in the day. Progress, progress, progress.

I hate people on this planet. This happened 2 weeks after paint, on the passenger door.


Current



More updates soon, the wheels are being powder coated. The Fog light deletes, brake ducts are going to be painted soon as well. Also I have to finish the rub rails. Near future plans are to run the Miller WAR set up to learn how to do basic tuning, and side skirts. Next big job is interior!

Thank you so much! I know I can't wait to get it cleaned up.

Awesome work! Looks really good.

Is that a special front valance? Its missing the upper cut out. Also looks like you took the texture off the rear valance and rockers. How hard was that?

My car is getting painted soon. Hopefully mine turns out as good as yours. It looks like you did it the proper way and removed all of the trim pieces and glass.

It turned out pretty good! I'm happy with the result. It's a euro Valence, I ordered it from ECS.
