Just did 20 minutes viewing the entire thread, thanks.
Car is badarse but you knew that, tips are sweeeeet, especially for a baller who never does the show mod thingy. Methinks it is time to head out to 75 or 27 and make some benjis off the ricer/supra crowd.
Damn nice!!! Well worth the wait!!

Did you solve the P0102 problem? If not, check fuse for maf/o2 sensors.

Thanks D. Always appreciate compliments from a friend. The car is hopefully where it needs to be, within my budget anyways. Still needs a few things but,..the house is more important at the moment. I drained the 93 octane out today after hours, made sure everything was good, found some E85,..which was oddly very difficult to find,...then found it near my house. Tomorrow morning, will end up dumping that in, attnd going for an early mornin ride.

I am indeed planning on putting it to work on several east coast locals. Thanks again for the compliments,..if all goes well, i'll take it to the local hangout at towers tomorrow for the first time in years.

I don't think I did. Something tells me I checked a fuse a way back but,..truthfully, I am away from the car so often,..then so many cars in between,..hard to remember.

I would be able to diag it this saturday but, I think I am gonna go to an airshow...so thats that. Sunday,..I am gonna be at a drag event all day for rotary's. lol...yeah , I know.

Well, drove the car to the local car show... was pretty dope. People seem to dig the car,..and the carbon tips, which everyone seems to figure out on they're own(guess everyone naturally looks for exhaust pipes, even women-atleast what I saw tonight anyways). So all in all,..it passed that test tonight. Visual inspection so to speak.

More importantly, the vehicle ran well. Before the exhaust, I was having a fuel delivery problem,...it seemed tune related ,,,,so we tried to fill in the blanks...then the fuel pump actually failed,...which ended our search for the fuel issue. I am still on the FAT throttle tune....but now I have a new pump...so, the car on a HIT, will sputter and **** sparks all kinds of snappy like exhaust notes...poppoopopopopopopopoopopopopopoopoblatblat blatblatblattttt...etc. And doesn't feel very well......

.........but,...if I ever so slowly ease into the throttle...the car lets me actually get on the throttle,...and into boost,...and lemme tell you,..the car feels amazing. It was only for a couple thousand midrange RPMs but,...I was really happy the car felt that good. Gave me hope, motivation, and now i'm excited to get it to the rollers.

Then, I hung out for a bit at my boys house,...and right went I went to leave, the rain came down,..and I had a half hour ride home. Started on highway,..then felt I didn't really wanna be on he highway very much with how bad it was raining. So, ended up on side roads....sweating my ***** off...

Regardless, it passed the extensive rain test,...I took some pics and vids...

Yeah, I think it ran pretty well when you blew by me on 84. I like the back of the car being black, at night it disappears. Sounded crazy. Great work Also noticed you running up on a cop. Then I saw blue lights thought he got you. My son was freaking out when you blew by us. Have fun

lol. Thanks man. Glad it turns invisible, may come in useful. Yeah Mike went by me,...he didn't know it, I went to dart after him but that 5-0 came up quick,...and went right by us. I happily let him go. The person pulled over was further ahead. Glad it wasn't me.

lol about your son. I was only part throttle there.



Good to see you again bro,...your car is SICK.

Thanks bro. exactly where I wanted them though. Not done with the car....I will be working on some functional aero treatments to the car in the near future,....when done, it will probably make more sense why they're close like that. Thanks for the compliment hommie.
