Love the IX seats!


Me too!

I got them from Ron at RS...He wants them back pretty bad.

I will get some pics sooner or later.

Well, I took quite a long time off from working on this thing. It runs. Sort of. Has a pretty bad boost leak. Been working on sealing up EVERY possibility from that front. Couldn't get it to hold a lb of pressure. Redoing all the gaskets and injector seals as well as a FIAV block off plate. Hopefully should seal it all up. Hope to have all that done this weekend and possibly get Ryan to bring over his compressor this weekend and get rid of all the boost leaks once and for all. If that happens I need to pick up a new battery and start saving for a tune. And put the interior back together. We shall see. Still skeptical. Most of the parts in this thread are still relevant. Although I am just going to run the Evo III 16g for a while once it is actually running. Would rather spend turbo money on getting the body cleaned up and repainted.

Not yet. That is the last of the things I am worrying about right now. I want to do that and the carpet all at the same time. But getting it running properly is top priority. Got pissed off at it and haven't touched it for a good year to year and a half. Did get all the pieces to make the whole interior black and need to tear out the headliner to make re-cover it and make it black as well though.

Well, started the car for the first time in about a year and half today. Fired right up. Can't get it to rev past 4.5k. Has some idle surge issues as well I need to sort out. Ryan brought over his compressor. Found one boost leak, leaks pressure slowly out now but can't find any others. Kind of annoying. Charge piping is all good. Throttle body is all good as are the injector seals.
