Alright! So many small issues, and finally all fixed!

First off, this happened. My IP Coils had a broken clip, it fell off and melted all over my manifold and downpipe. I spoke to BT where I bought it and he spoke to iP and got a new clip replaced! When things cooled down, I was able to scrap off the main bits and the rest just melted away and disappeared, so it didn't ruin my finish!



Then trying to figure out what my MAF issue was, I pulled off the intake and was disconnecting the harness when I saw this....



It was not the MAF sensor that needed cleaning, but the damn connection was broken. My heart sank quite a bit there. A $300+ MAF, I can deal with, but this was a full $400+ engine harness!!!!! That's major labor into reconnecting and mapping everything just for one stupid connection!!!

Well, I improvised and bought a soldering kit and a roll of wiring. Soldered on a piece on the main head in the connector and tried to solder the other end to the main wire, but I think the wind kept oxidizing the wire before it would melt onto the bundle so I said "f' it" and used some of my spare posi-taps and tapped that sh*t instead.!!!



Closed the hood, drove down the block and back! No more limp mode, no more bs lack of power, and the exhaust works again! Because of limp mode, the exhaust was always in "ON" mode so it's fine with me, but the wife didn't enjoy some of our long trips around town, but now I'm good! Dyno next week because this has been a long time coming!

 

Oh year baby let's see those numbers

Its been a long time coming

 

May the Force be with you....!!!

 

Glad you were able to get everything fixed. Can't wait to see the dyno results

 

Wednesday I'll get new front bumper and wheel arches installed, polished, and uninstalled.

Why uninstalled? Because I'm going to get the arches clearbra'd. Bumper I'm not too worried about as that is a spare so it'll only go on for shows/photoshoots. It'll be in storage a lot =P The current is clearbra'd. Not amazing condition, but it's held up great so far.

 

I was suppose to get my dyno done today, but I got hired to work on a project with director F. Gary Gray who directed The Italian Job Great guy, funny, and chill.

 

Make sure to ask him bout Italian Job 2 lol

 

You mean The Brazilian Job? LoL. Not happening. Been in the works for so many years it won't likely happen.

 

Wheels should be assembled by Friday from CCW!!! I was told the faces finished anodizing and would finish Friday, or Monday at the latest. Give or take a week for shipping and I'll be golden before the end of the month :D

 

Oh, and new Hyperco springs purchased. Ugh...another $3xx for coilover springs. Current set will just be put into storage as spares since no one wants them.

 

CCW makes some sick looking wheels!

 

Wheels finished building today, and shipping out today. Will be here tomorrow!!!

 

Wow nice wheels! Now all you need is matched silver colored wheel lugs. What's the weight on your wheels?

 

Hey......Thats not a CARB legal Intake!...But those rims are gonna be SICK as Hell, can't wait to see them, good things come to those who wait patiently!

 

It comes with a set of wheel lugs, but I gotta figure out the length of stud kit in silver so it doesn't stick out too much. That's in the works!

lol. I feel your pain brotha. Let me know if you need help!

 

dammm.. those are sick looking.... nice score

 

Thank you. probably get them assembled tomorrow, but not on 'til the weekend when I can get the shorter Hyperco coilover springs on. :D

 

Tada!

 

Ohh sweat, I want those! All you need are some center caps.

 

Any pictures of the whole car with them and specs? I have been looking at CCW's for my GP and can't decide. These look amazing though! What was the total wait time?

 

Beautiful wheels! Time to get mine lol

 

I have them, I just haven't put them on.
I'll get some pics after the weekend. I have new springs that will go on this weekend. Keep in mind, CCW Classics would clear with spacers, but it'll stick out so much that you'll rub too much.
Plz don't copy me by ordering a set of D110....

 

those are sick! nice job

 

Wow, looks great. Going to keep them machine finish or maybe powdercoat?

 

when you selling them wheels??? LOL
