Threw in a cheap 2.5 N/A engine to get my car moving under its own power again after I blew my turbo motor at mission.

500kms of break in period is over.......


boosting it more..... :megusta:

ordered an intake.... and looking into an ecu flash for the abarth.... :fuckyea:

What kinda' powa' are we talking about with a tune?

magneti marelli ecu flash....

from stock 160hp / 170lbft.... becomes 196whp and 233lb/ft... without bolt ons. the cars were apparently "under rated" from the factory's advertised 160 crank hp... lol

thats what 500 madness dynoed on a bone stock abarth... even more gains with cat back and intake. it seems promising.. I drove the one matte black one for sale... and it has the magneti marelli flash along with other mods (has meth injection as well)... jesus christ its fast for a little car.

2nd gear no traction at WOT... awesome.

:megusta:

Although no second gear traction is most likely the result of woefully inadequate tires.

EDIT: Not :megusta: this is more accurate; http://ih0.redbubble.net/image.11638...er,375x360.png

Spent about 8hours of my day off detailing my car, wet sanded dings, scratches. Also got keyed a while back and got 90% of it off, everything done my hand because too cheap. Car is so smooth :megusta:

installed some nagisa shakitto plates, it's pretty stiff up front already so it's hard to tell if it does adds anything.. but meh, shiny. although it clearly refuses to shine on camera and decides to look grey

^ wood block battery tie down ?
:lawl:

Kind of what I did this week.... ending off with what I did today:

Monday:
-Picked up another Integra as a daily since my supra isn't ready to drive still

Tuesday:
-Aircared it and did another more thorough check over of the car to see what I need to do

Wednesday:
All hell broke loose maintenance day
-Replaced alternator and power steering belts
-Hot oil flush (oil came out blacker than night)
-Coolant, Brake, Power steering flush
-GSR fstb installed

Thursday:
-Both front motor mounts
-C pillar bar install
-Another brake flush as my brake pedal was spongy and thought I got air in the system.... ended up finding out my brake master cylinder crapped the bed :QQ:

And Today:
-Replaced brake master cylinder and no more spongy pedal! :fullofwin:
-Rear wiper delete
-Painted the amber corners of the rear taillights with VHT red

All in all such a long week and still haven't even really started the mods yet.... :sleepingzz:

I'm a bit paranoid of making any more holes than i have to into the rocker panel as I recently stopped the rust on the bottom of the driver side.

I was thinking about two sided tape on both the part the tucks into the door and all along the bottom. That would be almost 10ft of tape on a single skirt, plus two screws in the wheel well area.

If that doesn't work, I still have the option to copy you, Chris.

torqued rear end, just needs fluids and an alignment now.

Wash, claybar and wax.

Claybar works like magic on yellow rust spots on white cars, can't wait to try out Iron-X.

Attachment 17875

Went out for a drive to test various tiny adjustments on car. When turning right into an underground parkade.....

The intercom is still on the left side.

finally got around to taking them out on friday and putting them in with the help of jackp0t and his friend!

Swapped the cats back in... get a few drive cycles in to get ODB II monitors set for ready, then off to air care

What's the deal with aircare? Is it going away? I want an X pipe :(

pretty sure i saw you on victoria and made a right on 49th right before 12 noon?
i was behind you on victoria in my red/white integra lol

did this over the weekend along with the pops to my celica hadn't taken it out in ages and it was acting really strange (lurching at a stop and revving up to red line* on its own in park)

replaced air filter (it was black literally)
cleaned maf
removed throttle body/iacv cleaned n oiled bearings
checked for vacuum leaks

seems to be running fine today



*didn't experience this but my father did when he took it out for a test he says
