yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:
Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now! Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later. Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it. I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room I'm relocating the battery to the trunk and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week  after 6 months of down time!--------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

QUOTE(6strngs @ Dec 4, 2007 - 8:39 PM) [snapback]619715[/snapback] Coolant leak is fixed, but now the car leaks oil, and fuel, and it still leaks transmission fluid... I noticed it was leaking a large amount of fuel from the number 2 injector, so I pulled it out and the top O-ring was ripped. these O-rings are brand new from witchhunter where I had the injectors cleaned. I'm pretty pissed one broke so fast. So, you fix one leak and two more pop up...... I'm starting to remember why I almost gave up in the first place. thats cause you didnt lube them up with wd40 like you're supposed to. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
