yea pretty much stock side mount location. then ran new wires and made new grounds for stuff too. i may tackle some more wiring tpnight but we will see.

Looking good Swifty!

Swifty1638 · 02-20-2009

well, I've decided to sell the QTP setup, as it won't really yield me THAT much, and I could use the money towards something better like...tuning.

I'm waiting on TiAl to get the other spring for my wastegate (dual spring setup) then they can ship it out, and I'll have it next week.

Looking great so far Swifty! Keep it up!

C3L1CA · 02-20-2009

Looks good! Where did you get the fuel pumps from and did you use any special connector to wire them up?

Swifty1638 · 02-20-2009

i got them through the dealership from ford..and i wired them myself.

And you're scared of a little engine wiring?

Swifty1638 · 02-20-2009

lol i want good clean wiring, and we where trying to find out why my car never revved..if I REALLY HAD to tackle the wiring, i woulda done it myself, as I do on customer's cars at work, BUT i'd rather have John do it, as it's proper, and he has the correct tools for the right job.

Shouldn't you too, as a mechanic? It's just a matter of being in a little more debt to the tool guy of your choice.

Swifty1638 · 02-20-2009

yea i know..which i hate. I loose motivation to work on my own shit when thats all i do. So, John was the motivator!

Shit.. I did my whole tuck with electrical tape and scissors!

Glad you will finally get this done, setup looks baller.

Glad that you also stopped sending me pic messages of your shit.

So 10s this year?

Swifty1638 · 02-20-2009

lol sorry buddy. As far as the time, we shall see...remember, i've never done the drag stuff at a track. on these tires, 10's would be balla status!

not really, you make enough power and the guy you copied did.

good luck either way.

**scheides** · 02-20-2009

Wait, you track this car?

Swifty1638 · 02-20-2009

That's the goal anyway...

-A. Swift

Swifty1638 · 02-23-2009

copied? yeaaaa....riiiight. cuz the wheel can be re-invented SO many times. I've copied no one, besides my own ideas. so what if others have had a black talon with a 67mm turbo and etc etc on it..know how many white 1gs with cf hoods and 16g's there are?

Anyway, more wiring is done tonight. Intake manifold and pipes are now on as is the tb, with all gaskets and such. vac. lines are all run. FJO is moved/mounted. Just needs power/ground. MSD is mounted in the car now, wiring is done. Grounds are all done.

list of what's left:
finish wires for COP/MSD
+/- for FJO
clamps for rest of pipes
WG mounted
degree cams/put timing side back together/vc gasket/etc
bumper/lights go back on
pass. seat back in/harnesses remounted
swap gasses
mod AEM map
start.

Hopefully this coming weekend, it will be ready. That's all for now!

A certain evil eagle circa 2004 comes to mind, but i have not seen any white 1gs with fiber hoods, black evo wheels on 16g running 11s all day. There are a few panda 1gs around here but everyone that calls me thinking that its me says they get close and they are piles.

Anywho, you gonna be ready for the cruise? I am gonna look for a good video camera be a good time to get some footage of some good rolls.

You, hill, halo would make for a good 3 way

I hope that is sarcasm or you must not be looking that hard. That was 2007's hot street setup color/combo.
