Drew, is there anyway to possibly add more ABS? like double up for extra performance handling? ---

The gasket around the “Cruise” light was shot. Not that it mattered but I replaced that. ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/NYSpeed/cougarspeed/DSC00553.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/NYSpeed/cougarspeed/DSC00553.jpg) ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/NYSpeed/cougarspeed/DSC00554.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/NYSpeed/cougarspeed/DSC00554.jpg) C1 and C5 were shot. I replaced them. ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/NYSpeed/cougarspeed/DSC00556.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/NYSpeed/cougarspeed/DSC00556.jpg) The pad connecting Pin 3 on VR1 was lifted. I did not notice this originally when I removed the bad caps. I may have contributed to the problem but it was definitely gone. I scraped the solder resist back and solder bus wire to it. It’s not going anywhere now. I called Pat and I will bring it back to him tonight. I’ll stick around while he installs it to make sure everything is working. ---

I hope to tie everything up on this thing tonight. Gonna fix the door handle/bumper clips/ tidy up the pcm wiring/ and mkae sure the fans work with the relay installed. She should be ready to rock very soon. Once it’s cleaned we will take some pictures. Cars get filthy in my shop due to the woodshop next door. ---

> [@LXIFLYBY](#): > > looks like the solder joints on ALL the diodes are bad also. Nope, they are just oxidized. As far as fillet size, wet-a-bility, and cleanliness they fail IPC-610 Class 3 standards…but they are fine for a RX7 Tach. Good eye to catch them though…:tup: ---

Once I cook the stock bottom end maybe will build some big cube setup with a gang of spray but probably not. Depends on if it lets go before or after I buy another house really haha.
