well... I ordered a new CPS to try and deal with a random issue that has popped up. more importantly I also bought the stroker crank spacer that ForcedFirebird made... and now it begins.

The neverending DD "im not modifying it much" project continues

That should be your new title “leaving it stock thread”

Yeaaaaa or not hahaha stock is good, modified is better


I was cleaning up my tool box and found this. I bought a few of these grounds from BavRest a while ago but can’t remember which one this is supposed to replace.


It would be cool if this can replace that nasty one under the car

In other news the car won’t start at all now. It went from random CEL to constant CEL to death.

Fun.

hood ground?

hood ground?

Im pretty sure that was the one I installed, unless there is two on the hood.

Edit: Looks like its the battery tray to valve cover strap from here

Top - Engine Ground Cable
Middle - Battery tray to valve cover strap
Bottom - Radiator to Hood strap

[wworm]

nope just one.

any other symptoms other than random CEL's?

Problem solved...

no more 24v swaps. I want to and know how awesome they are but I have a masochist mind and want to spend more money on something that will make less power

single cams also sound a bazillion times better. Spent the better half of a work day last week reading about exhaust harmonics trying to figure out how to numb raspiness

Same thing happened to my wagon's O2 connector. Was causing a fuse shared by the O2 sensor heater and HVAC to blow too.

Course it happened to mine, because there was no O2 sensor shipped with the car since it had the no catalytic converter option. The connector just ended up hanging loose near the exhaust manifolds.

Got a parking ticket for no front plate... I actually had bought a front plate holder but hated how it looks and between test fitting the front plate deletes I hadn’t had one on for a while.

Sooooo... can I just install it as-is?

Nope! Phase one: Trim the fat


Clean it up and install.



Meh... it’s better I guess




Still hate the front plate.

I have a few more ideas but I need to get this ticket signed off first so leaving it like this for now.

Plus I have more pressing things to deal with first. IE the leaks
