pete25r's bugeye progress by pete25r

Been tinkering with my tune a bit. I'm a slow learner so it's taking me a while. I'm in no rush though. Working on fueling now. Making some progress but sometimes I'm an idiot. I'm glad these cars are somewhat forgiving if you don't beat on them when your map isn't where it needs to be.

Yeh, I'm still in the SoCal. I found a Denso warehouse/distro center out near where I live. Had to take a nerd photo.

Went to a large meet today. Only 2 other bugeyes there. Both silver, one sedan, one wagon.
Was putting around with the windows down, cause Cali, looking for a sooby to park by, people walking around.. dude "that is MINT!" me - "I just got it painted!" Felt good hearing that, paint ain't cheap.

I miss the MAIC meets. Meets are aight out here but not the same. I might need to look harder to find some cool peeps.

I've been dorking around with my tune.
I was unhappy with the decapped pinks I had for some reason. Swapped them for some "JDM Pinks" found on the notorious bay of E.
They definitely didn't flow like the info for pinks I found on RomRaider, latencies were whack too.
Finally got them in the ballpark and are tweaking them now.

Also finally got a set of JDM ver 7 wheels powder coated. Was going to strip and paint paint them myself. Getting paint to flow right in the lug nut recessed area is a pain. I had the money and the good people of the powder coat shop got bills to pay so cash for a good powder coat job went down. Need to paint the center caps and get some tires for them.
When I saw them come up for sale they cried to me. They needed saving. They were buried in a few funky coats of plasty-dip, rattle can white, some really thin primer, then original gold. They were so ugly. Only minor curb rash, was able to 'buff' most of it out.
