Car may be done this weekend (28th) Speedworks is super busy at this time, hoping they can squeeze me in.
turbos came in last weekend(great condition for used turbos, very little play)
hicas balljoint, cvboot also being replaced
looking forward to hanging out with necc again
Im going nuts, but saving a TON of money on gas :roll: and any “tickets” i would probably have gotten by now, I have to admit, this 1st maintanence/repare has grounded me a lot metally with reguards to taking it easy out there.
Just went with stock ones for now, no point doing a minor hp upgrade if my plans are doing a rebuild this winter.
Thanks for the updaye 1mns13 at least i know they started on it.
And i need to settle down out there if im going to save for the rebuild, you guys know i was spending 150$ a week on gas??? repairs cost less then the last 5weeks of gas would have
Plan on friday nights at bud park and sat/sun there too if i run under 13.99???
To tune the ecu, do i need a new ecu or just a tuner? can i use someone elses turner and plag and play during a dyno or are they wired in?
Ecu tuning is done by somebody who can burn a chip, and socket your ecu. I recall r32 ecus being easieast of the gtrs to tune. You might want to get a power fc.
That is one sweet ride! I see it probably every second day when I go to check on my rebuild. Speedworks is busy but they just rehired an old employee (Jimmy? I hope I remember correctly), so that’s 33% larger labor force! LOL
HAHA, no the fd that noone knows about. The fd that has a $40,000 competition stereo. Also the one that is gonna run laps around the orange one. And man DO THE WORK YOURSELF. it only took me and my friend 3 hours to get my turbos off. and trhere in some fucked up places. Doin the work yourself is KEY in saving money
WHen i do the rebuild over the winter, im talking some friends into letting me use theirs, i guy i work with runs the “yellow desperado” at budpark, he has a 5car garage, trying to talk him into it!! i can pull the back seat and sleep on it at night beside the car on those all nighters
As for a more of an update, apperently they ARE doing mine on breaks
and only going to be around 8hrs total, throw in the fact they have gone over it top to bottom for me and found nothing else wrong (ecept left cvboot cracking) im pretty pleased with Speedworks and Neil, he knows his shit.
40,000$ of stereo equipment will weight him down a bit
Ya looking forward to the “secret secret” fd
damb if i had 40k to work with…JDM version of “knighrider”
