Worked ~40 hrs strait before I passed out.... literally curling up in the passenger seat. It was cold so I took my flannel lined car cover and wrapped myself in that for a little 6 hour nap before I went about 46 hrs strait as well. In the end there were a few little things that kicked my ass.
For example.... went to start the car for the first time and had no power to anything that I wired up. Factory shit was all fine but nothing I wired was working. WTF? So I started at the battery and worked forward. Oddly enough the main relay wasn't getting a turn on signal..... :scratch: OK.... hit the schematic and found out that the IG2 circuit passes through the fuse blocks power window circuit. Odd... whatever... I added my own powerwindow circuit so I pulled the factory's fuse. Once I figured that out, popped a fuse in and all was well.
Then there were a few gauges not working properly. Traced that to a gnd that accidentally got wrapped into the front harness. Cool, gnd that and viola. Then she wouldn't start. Not surprising with all the changes that I made. Namely injectors and coils. Now, the MoTeC is just plain awesome. You can adjust the IJPU to suit different injectors. So, theoretically if you go from a 1000cc to a 2000cc injector, you can cut the IJPU in half, and the tuning won't change IFF the injectors are linear in thier delivery. I went with a set of ID725 and ID2000's up from the 750/1000 POS delphi basically propane injectors. I changed the IJPU to suit and she wouldn't even start. I toyed with the map slightly and got her to stumble but it hit me that the entire map was now going to be fucked becuase I was going from a very non-linear injector to a perfectly linear injector. If I post a screen shot of my map compared to a map of a car running ID's, you'll see what I mean.
Then I discovered a small fuel leak, didn't look to far into it because at this point it's like 2pm on Friday and I also found a fairly frozen FR brake caliper. It was just too much. What I should've done was focus more on my car and less on others at the end of March. Oh well, next year.... and I'm sure a bunch in between. Gives me more reason to have the FC shipped to CA for 7stock though
That sucks balls! Well at least you'll have the FD there next year when i'm planning to be there.


How many dudes can you fit in a FC? I think we should find out! I'm saying we can get 8 in there. 1 working gas, bake, clutch and shifting. 1 steering in your lap. 2 in passenger seat. And 2 stacked on top of each other side by side in the back.
