It definitely needs to go back on the dyno. It's still pretty much untuned. Even if it doesn't do what I want I would still rather play it safe than sorry

Re: my new project
Alrighty so I already have a new axle and I ordered control arm bushings that should be here wednesday. So I will replace those parts wednesday at my work and just check the car over again. Then it's just putting some miles on it and making sure all is good to go.
Tentatively I'm trying to get a tune scheduled for the 15th or 16th so we'll see what happens. Otherwise they're booked out till like the 28th :-/

Re: my new project
Sometimes you get a little lucky with these cars! Good luck on the tuning, did you get your fuel issue all sorted out?

Yes sir I did get the fuel issues figured out. It was one of the rubber lines in the tank had ruptured. Last time it was on the dyno we seemed to get all the bugs sorted out and were finally able to get to the actual tuning

Re: my new project
Well with the exception of losing my hood today was a relatively successful day. I replaced the control arm bushings, drained the oil, then hooked up our engine flush machine and flushed the sucker out so if there was any metal in any of the oil galleys there shouldn't be any more. I changed the oil filter, changed the inline filter for the turbo oil feed.
I put new plugs in it, shortened the coil boots, put bolts in places that were missing bolts, (fenders, t-case, flywheel inspection cover, etc) and just cleaned up as much stuff as I could.
Also I removed the rear crash bumper should be about 32lbs removed from the car. Which will bring my total weight savings since the got the car to around 47lbs.

Re: my new project
Kinda. Sounds like something in the drivetrain might be clunking at times. But i think Ihad one of my carrier bbearings on upside down so I flipped it around. we'll see if that helps. Plus my carrier bearing bushings are definitely shot. They will have to be replaced eventually. I'll know more after I drive it back to its parking place

Re: my new project

Oh I remember! The car seems better than before. No more weird wobble on the highway. Less noises. There are a few things that seem off. There a noise like a vibration on decel. Sometimes when starting out Ithink I hear something in the driveline clunk. 3rd gear felt funny shifting into sometimes. Idk I could be overly paranoid right now ha
