EDIT: I started this thread X-mas break 06-07 while attending the Naval Academy Preparatory School. Now I am about to leave for the Coast Guard Academy and will be going through an officer indoctrination. therefore no 6gc until September and no driving the celi until 2010ish..... anywho i'm going to keep updating this thread when possibly i am home for a holiday and work on the car etc.!! wish me luck.




(original)

So i'm home for Christmas break and its time to work on my car. The swap is sooo close to being complete and i'm hoping to transfer my plates over soon so she is on the road. Right now she is sitting on the lift at my friends garage and i have been working on her everyday.

-Replaced an axle seal
-welded the stock exhaust to match up with the 3sgte

December 28th

Today I:

-painted the other calipers red
-painted the other hubs black
-installed new e-brakes (cables and all)
-finished some painting on the body work (not completly done with it, but i primed and painted since i can't finish it for a few weeks)
-put my TSW rims on there





But right now its running and im not getting the green light at all (knock detection lights) I don't know if im knocking or not. I am boosting around 6 psi maybe 7. what does the stock ecu turn the boost to when its in safe mode??
