It lives again!


just picked the car up from the exhaust shop, and they bled the brakes for me, so she's looking good for the Dyno day this Saturday. Anyone able to meet at my place and then follow me over "just in case..?"

Did your chip make that much of a difference?

Just finished blocking my hood out. I'll paint it today or tomorrow. Yippie

Fresh paint's gotta add, what, 3.438 HP, right? Looking good for the dyno day, eh, Keith?

installed the chip last night and the car wouldnt start. i pulled the ecu out two more times. the first time was to make sure everything was installed right, and noticed the chip was pushed down all the way. still no start, pulled the chip out and put the stock one in. looks like im going to drive to Portland to dyno a bone stock eta with 211k.

You may have put the chip in upside down. Happened to me with my Mark D chip. First time it wasn't seated properly, so I reseated it. Still no start. Second time, I popped it out and turned it around and it started right up. Give that a try and see if it works for you.

It's Kirker semi-gloss enamel so 5.12765 hp gain. Reshaped the raised center section for moer aerodynamic fooraw.
I'm out of town this weekend so no dyno day for me.

[e30austin]

No dyno day?!?! BLASPHEMY.

[Eta power]

I would dyno my car, but I'm not in the habit of paying $50 for someone to tell me my car is slow.

I'll do it for free. J/k.

Bahahahaha!

it was in the right way, notch lined up. i know the car is slow, but it will be baseline to see what the other mods i do improve.

Anyone want a 3G iPhone? Its for AT&T, black, 8 gig, and comes with case and cable. I have it on CL for 150 but ill let a R3V member have it for 120is. Or Ill trade for an IS lip or late model fog lights + cash.

Edit: Or even the 15mm drop hats that the guy used to sell.

Had an interesting issue with my car just now. Was parked on a hill at my shop, coming back with lunch. Shut the car off and put it in first (I don't trust my parking brake.) I noticed my clock reset itself when I turned the car off. Clicked the key to "on" position and the stereo was reset too. Shit. I eat and go back to the car to make a parts run. Won't start. No clicks, nothing. Opened the door and SLAMMED it HARD. Tried it again and it started.

Any ideas what could've happened? Sounds like a short to me but I have no idea.
