4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010

[4g63tcrazy]

Washed the car for the first time since last summer. The direct sunlight basically killed 90% of my pics but a couple turned out ok.

Those FD rims look great on there, dont stick out too much. Car looks great!! I only have seen it once from a far, I'll have to get a better look sometime this summer.

Well I guess it's time for an update.. I basically gave up on the car for a good month. I got sick of putting money into the car and removing/re-installing the same parts over and over just to figure out more problems.

Basically the new wiring harness I bought developed an issue where my ecu wouldn't shut off and all my dash lights would stay on. So I pulled the harness back out, (This being the 5th time) and transfered everything back to my original harness that I cut up just trying to fix the one I bought. I got the harness all back together and taped up. I had to force myself to even get this far on my car. Then it took even more self motivation to actually put the damn thing into my car.

So I eventually sucked it up and got the harness in my car and it fired up and shut off perfectly. That night I put a quick tune on it at 26psi and just beat the living hell out of it. I ended up catching air at 110mph at one point. I didn't care I was trying to blow the damn thing up. The only issue that came up that night was not being able to shift at 8k after beating on it for so long. Other than that, it took the beating like a champ!

Lately I've just been driving the car to work and wherever else I need to go. I haven't even put the laptop on it for awhile. I plan on getting the thing tuned and running perfect probably tomorrow morning.

One thing that's changed with my car is I ended up buying a smaller battery. It's for a '01 honda civic and about half the size. I had to make a new tie-down for it and this is what I came up with.

Simple and works well. :)

Also after putting the harness in the car sooo many times I gave up on hiding it 100% like it used to be. It's basically just laying along the crossmember now, compared to before when I had it come up behind the intake manifold. But I really don't care anymore. It's clean enough..

I tried taking a HDR pic of the engine bay but with the lighting I had it just looks too over-done. But here it is anyway.

I plan to take the car out once it gets nicer and do a photoshoot.

Lookin good! You gonna have this thing at the dyno day?

[4g63tcrazy]

Depending on when I get off work I'll more than likely be there.

Good to hear you got it going and haven't given up.

Ended up doing some un-expected tuning tonight with IwantA4g63t. We got the a/f to be a steady 11.8 with 18* peak timing at 26psi. We also calibrated the MAF pretty good to make the car happy with these stupid 1600's. I'm sure in about a week it will be all f'd up again.

I plan to make it to the dyno day but I don't get off work til 5. So who knows if I'll actually make it onto the dyno.

^Sounds like you are making some progress, come up this way I'll will try to help out anyway I can, plus sounds today I will be all over a lot of peoples DSMs.

just wanna say ur car is one of my favs.

[4g63tcrazy]

Thanks! Now that I think of it I haven't seen your car for like 2 years..

I think I'm just gonna spend the day cleaning things up. Alot of things need a fesh coat of paint from me taking my harness in and out multiple times and being careless.

^You don't want to see my car, its looks beat up as fuck.
we need to take a trip to the track again that was fun, and hopefully get our fun runs in.
