Getting the Laser ready for AutoX

[EclipseGST]

You are incorrect... Mine is round not Y shaped. The Y is internal for the CV joint.

Inside they are round, but on the passenger side axle on my Laser it is Y shaped, but the driver's side is not.

I'll take pics later today, I gotta work in an hour. I had them order the outer boot which is round on the inside and should work.

I got the boot today and it fits. Going to slap it all together tomorrow, and enjoy my new Greddy weighted shift knob, and my new leather rear seats to match the fronts.

EDIT: I also am going to try a new replacement for the 5 mph crash beam because I'd rather have one. I got an Aluminum one off a Buick Lesabre from a friend at a body shop. It's pretty close, so we'll see tomorrow. It's about half the weight of the stocker, and the stocker is 32 lbs.

Well, after waiting over a month for my foot to heal, I took it out a couple days ago and realised I still got work to do.

I still have some small boost leaks. When I'm at 10-13 psi, I can rev out all the way to 7k. However, when I'm at 15 psi, she cuts out at 5k. I know I have a leak at the tb, and I also got a set of injector o-rings yesterday.

The next autocross is here in Winona, Aug. 16-17th. I plan to be there.

I figured out my cutting out issue. Gapping the plugs out helped, but what really helped was re-wiring the fuel pump today. Pulls so much better and smoother all the way to 7k. Tomorrow I'm going to try gapping the plugs out to .28. They are at .25 right now.

Makes me really want a set of cams and a 16g.

I use to have this stupid phantom knock issue ever since I got the car. Would only happen at part throttle in vaccum just cruising around. I would get crazy counts of knock that would max out what the ecu can read. Now it's slowly coming back more and more.

Is it my lifters? I can't believe this is happening, the flippin engine is only about 3k miles old.

Took some pics tonight. Keeps getting colder, so I don't know how many times I will have it out due to my heater core leaking and unhooked. I also took a video of a 3rd gear pull, but that will take a while to upload.

Here's the pics:

How's the weighted knob treating ya?

[123abc]

Awesome, although you couldn't tell from the video. I just don't trust my knee without power steering.
