oh for ****s sake haha... It looks like something kramer would drive, but what a sleeper...

I hope youre replacing the seats with buckets

[denmah]

nope all three of mine have had bench seats
i love bench seats

[Vr-4-Life]

So you're steering with one hand and holding on for dear life with the other? lol I suppose that bench seats are ok... I'd imagine you dont corner in this at all.

[grimm]

denmah builds don't generally consist of anything besides making the rear wheels spin as fast as they can.

sorry for the text message noises they are ****ing annoying

[denmah]

its been 45 days since i picked it up

[lownslow95]

Sounds amazing.

[denmah]

wired the wideband output into the stock ECU EGR voltage feedback wire and setup HPtuners to read the wideband through there, SCIENCE setting up AFR feedback charts and getting ready to do valvesprings for this thing, only problem we had today was both *oversized and wrong, and never tightened shock bolts falling out* lol and i cleaned the windows since i couldnt see, and put new wipers on the car, getting ready to goto ocean city next week

I think I put over 100 miles on this pig today. Doing good!

[denmah]

finally wired this thing in permanently to the key, so it wont kill the battery, also wired the output into the ECU and got that working, also mounted it in a blank spot of the dash!




Finally... IAT installed in egr plug haha, i was nervous about the sensor coming out or moving under boost, drilled a hole, put the sensor inside, covered in rtv, and put a small hose clamp on it so it cant move or get pulled/blown out hahaha then RTV'd the plug walls, and hammered it down with a socket.

it spun the tires from 50-80mph then hooked and went
doesnt make power over 6k so it lays over a bit, hits third, locks the converter and starts to boogy!
