Catching Up Again

Well,
It's been a while since I posted an update. Suspension work is done, for now anyway. Brakes are awesome, no noise, good stopping power, still need to bed them in before my first track day on December 12th. Sadly this will also be the last track day till the new year.

Since the last update I have managed to:
  • install my wideband (replaced stock sensor with LC-1 and wired analogue output into stock ecu harness)
  • send the injectors out for cleaning and flowing
  • re install cleaned injectors
  • replace fuel filter
  • replace the valve cover and plug gaskets (plug holes were full of oil)
  • install new plugs
  • install my innovate LMA-3 for data logging
  • change out the trans fluid from whatever was in it to Redline MTL
  • spend about a week clay baring, polishing, sealing, and coating to clean up the paint some
Car is running well, though a bit lean up top for my liking... like 14:1 lean :( On a related note, it has also developed a warm and cold start issue, has to crank a while before it fires. Given that there was no rail pressure when I pulled the injectors, I think the check valve in the fuel pump assembly has gone bad and is allowing the fuel pressure to drain off when the car sits for a bit. New fuel pump assembly will be here Wednesday. Still need to tap one of the injectors and a manifold vacuum source to round out the data logging. Should have that done by the weekend along with the fuel pump.
