One step at a time. At least your project was not a train wreck then mine.

Project redemption? It just needs MOAR love.

Moontaxi? Car hauls out like a train!

The crew came down and assisted with a marathon wrench session. John L, the fabrication guru, currently has my downpipe, intercooler, intercooler piping, and front bumper for final modifications.

Thanks again John, Kyle, and Ryan for your assistance this weekend!! The weekend goal was completed, car is now at the "front" of the garage and much closer to running.


...and special thanks to my wife for putting up with this crap!

FMIC install pipe routing and fitment on a 3/s while retaining most of the factory components that get in your way, about has much stun as you can have with close on.

Out to the garage for final welding on this stuff.

Sorry I am a PITA John, but retaining fog lights, a/c, and everything else was on my list and you nailed it.

For those that don't know, John is a master fabricator and can pretty much pull anything of you ask him for.

Fixed again. Why did you choose solid motor mounts?

Motor doesn't vibrate that much from the factory and I didn't want to deal with it flopping around in the engine bay. Last car had solid motor mounts and a much more aggressive setup and the vibration was minimal.

We've still got errors in the statement above by both parties, LOL!

Update:


Well John and I were making excellent progress last few days and were just in assembly mode when we hit a snag. The "Rebuilt" AEM EMS I bought from a reputable seller was indeed not rebuilt and having the same problem they were having (5V output on sensor ground). Needless to say the AEM currently is as useful as a brick, so that is going out FED-EX Monday to be rebuilt, hopefully get it back within a few weeks as the lead time is 2 weeks.

Took a few hours to go through the entire engine bay harness and a bench test of the AEM EMS with just power and ground to confirm that it is faulty.

Other than that, a few interior bits to put back, door speakers, intercooler piping to install, intakes to install, drill a hole for each catch can, battery cable ends, and polish some items and we will be on the road!
