Victory!

Group N engine mounts in. I now know some new yoga poses. My favorite new pose is the crossmember hug - under-the-lift - lowering.

Also got new ball joints, front axles, kartboy trans bushings, and a slightly used STI tranny mount in. NVH went up, so did racecar.

Eventful day. Hopefully the new stiffs will clear up the random knock. Old mounts were a bit sloppy.

So I'm away from my ride again. Work seems to like to send me away quite a bit. Do I have bad breath or something?
I'm getting "bonus" pay for being away for a bit. Putting together a list of goodies I can squeeze into my "bonus" budget.

I still got some tuning to do. I might just start swapping out parts, knock sensor, clutch. I'm tired of seeing knock. It's always random too, well randomish. It'll show up in the same "zone" on learning view, sometimes the same box. Sometimes it jumps around. It's been a while since I've played with it though.

recently got back from a long work trip. AC was out. Sway bars were banging around... gotta little tidying up to do.

I did get the AC fixed. Was a silly little O-ring on the high pressure pipe side of the AC compressor. A fiddy-cent o-ring replacement and refill fixed that.

Sway bars are still banging a little after re-tightening and lock-tighting nuts on endlinks. That's what was loose.

Still rolling around. Got a neato turbo mod fabricated. Haven't seen one done like this before. Not too cool for school. Just kinda weird.

Pics when install goes down...

still lazy. turbo swap project delayed because I'm a wuss and don't like the cold. Soon though. Gotta double check my injector duty cycle though. Should be good though. Stock injectors with DW255? pump. Maxing out at 65% duty cycle. It's log, log, better than bad it's good...

I done installerated some of dem decapped inJECToars.

I bought some from the back alley of a forum a while ago, a year or more?

Finally got them SOBs installed. Got them halfway tuned, just gotta tweak the latency till it looks better in dem logs.Got MAAAADDD headroom on the injectors now. Almost turbo time...


And yes decapped injectors are not the best thing out there but A. I was being cheap B. dude that was selling them had a flow chart from witch hunter and the injectors had new o-rings on them.. couldn't resist...
