Another good idea. I honestly hadn't thought about that. Would be a lot less vinyl as well

Alrighty, did a professional drawing of what I want the black vinyl to look like for the hood and bumper, haha. Decided to leave the fog light section orange. Having to have a front license plate sure sucks. Anyways, big thanks to sweetbmxrider for bringing up the black on the sides of the scoop. All the cowl hoods i've seen this way throughout the years and never once thought of doing that to this hood. I think it will look great once it's done.

Definitely do the black. Really accents the orange, doing vinyl yourself isn't that hard (a shop would charge you about 150-200 bucks for that if I had to guess)

Did some clear smoked vinyl on the tail lights this weekend. I think it turned out pretty good. Surprisingly you can still see the brake lights incredibly well. Even in sunlight

Alright, time for some help. Came to the conclusion that I could have an injector issue on the driver's side. Found this via data logging and tuning with Solomon. It's running rich on the driver's side. No exhaust leaks and no vacuum leaks. I did pull the rails and primed the system and didn't notice any leaky injectors, but we are still having the issue. I have also noticed that it will fire right up after it has been sitting a while. Once you have driven it, shut it off, then go to fire after a few minutes it will crank for quite a while before firing. Almost like it is flooded. As far as I am aware the injectors are original to the car, so i'm sure some new ones wouldn't hurt.

Where i'm getting confused is what injectors to buy. From what i've read i'm fairly certain 93s came with 22lb injectors, but i've read some people say the 24lb injectors from the 94 on LT1s will work just fine. Any input?

Are you looking to get a complete set? Running rich could also come from a lack of oxygen being burned or a weak spark to a cylinder. Something to look into before you go changing injectors.

Anything larger than stock should be programmed into your pcu. At least this is what I've always done.

Would this be easy to see by pulling plugs and seeing what each cylinder looks like? Tinkered with cars for a long time but have never learned how to "read" a plug

First time posting through the garage talk app so hopefully the images show up. Been making some progress cosmetically. Went ahead and sprayed plasti dip around the headlights to see if I like it. Turns out I like the look a lot so plan on getting it painted in the near future.

Also finished my wrapping my dash pad. Didn't turn out too bad for my first time. Looks 100% better than when it was cracked all over. I have a car show next weekend so I'll have the car cleaned up and get some better pictures.

Just a quick update. Haven't done much to the car recently. Mainly just been enjoying it. Got the spare 10 bolt back with the 3.73s installed. Just need to get a coat of paint on it then swap it out with the current one and install the adjustable PHB and Koni str.t shocks I picked up.

Recently did a pretty good clean of the engine bay (of course very, very safely around the opti). I think it turned out well considering the engine bay is the original red
