My Winter Upgrades

[Halon]

Well when I dynoed awhile back, we noticed my wideband readings were off a bit (mine was reading leaner) from DB's numbers. The other day it was showing I was running really lean. I started to richen it up, but got to a point where I was reading 12.0, and the more fuel I added to lower that, I started seeing knock (rich knock??). I have a feeling my 3-year old sensor is maybe getting a little worn out so I'm going to pick up a new sensor. Now I'm glad I did the research ahead of time to make sure the wideband setup I bought used the cheaper standard bosch sensor found standard in VW's.

So I did a bunch of searching for the best local prices. For anyone that also uses a wideband unit that uses the standard bosch LSU4 sensor, here's a link to one of the cheapest prices I was able to find for one of the sensors, at a local parts store. Hopefully it'll help someone out. Mine will be at the store in 2hrs. :)

And as for the clutch situation, I don't have much time so Momin is doing it for me. Dropped the car off with him yesterday, so it should easily be done by the 31st for the track again :D

Picked the car up today from Momin, so another big thanks to him.

One thing that's immediately noticeable to me is that there is much less chatter on this setup than there was on the 4.3 setup. Clutch pedal is a little heavier, but doesn't feel any worse than a 2600.

It'll take me a little bit to get completely used to. Going to take it easy on it for awhile. Should be plenty ready for the track in 2 weeks :)

Fucking thieves!!

Ok you cant do that... thats just like thanking DB for tuning and not posting numbers. WTF happened?

No diggity doubt!

Sorry, I was pissed off, and had to go because the police arrived.

Someone got into my garage last night, and got into the car. Didn't take anything all that valuable, but they did steal my subwoofer, my tuning laptop (along with the DSMLink cable, any DSMers wanna confess?), the change out of my ashtray, and my fuckin car key (although I do have a spare).

Big thanks to Nick at Brookdale Mitsu. He is overnighting me a new ignition cylinder so whomever has my key, cannot start the car. Nick gave me some contact info to a locksmith, who will be converting all my other key cylinders as well, so that old key they took will be useless.

I was planning on getting a lot of tuning done this weekend, but fat chance of that since they stole the damn cable. I have another laptop to use, but no cable means no Link.

Does anyone have a cable that I could borrow for a few days until my replacement arrives from ECM Tuning?

As of now, that's all I know is missing. When I get home after work, I'll be scouring through everything in the garage to find anything else that might be missing.

WTF! That sucks ass brandon :( I'm sorry dude.
