    Codes Galore - What happened?

    Thanks JR! Looks like I have problem with that circuit because those are my codes. I will try to inspect it tomorrow and see what I can come up with. I hope I didn't burn a trace in the computer, that would be a pain to fix. I have some senior EE techincans here at work I could probably...

    Those look likenice seats! How much do used vw recaro run? I am sure it would be a bargain compared to new ones. Let us know if you find out if they fit, I might go that route.

    Which fuel pump to go with.

    Not sure if 190lph is enough fuel, but I just got the ford racing unit and it is the queitest pump I have ever heard. Virtually silent. It also comes with a new bracket which has a rubber isolator on the pump. Maybe you could find the rubber isolator somewhere else because that maybe why it is...

    BBK TB installed

    Bbk said the tb whistling was very rare and they have not been able to reproduce it or at least that was their response to my email. I highly doubt it based on everyones input here. They also said the fp issue was normal.... My car turns over for at least two more seconds during start up since...

    BBK TB installed

    BTW.....if I switch to another TB. My Gt-40 tubular intake is 70mm at the inlet. Does this mean I have to go 70mm or can I do a 65mm TB?

    BBK TB installed

    I did pull the TB off one more time and try to polish it up. This time I used the dremel a lot more and tried to make the radii as large as the dremel would allow. It was kind of hard to fish the dremel into the right position but I did make the radii a lot larger. I also used a small ball...

    BBK TB installed

    It still whistles, the channel polishing and radii added to the holes didn't fix the whistle. The problem is that idle should be set right where it wants to start whistling, just like greensvt21 said. I even installed a new air idle control motor at the time thinking that it may help...no...

    BBK TB installed

    Yeah.. If I were designing a product I would never release it if it had a known flaw. Hopefully I fixed it, we shall see.... If not than eBay might be the best place for my bbk!

    BBK TB installed

    Correction my GT40 and TB are 70mm.....i mispoke on the 75mm guess. Just an update...ShortThrow50.....You Were Right!!!! The whislte appeared after I adjusted the TB idle screw. It is annoying and it seems to want to whistle right where the idle should be set. What a POS! I removed the...

    Wide rear tires, moving rear shock question

    I am not sure that17x9 are no problem in the front. You need to check the backspacing to be sure. I have those 4 lug cobra r replicas that are 17x9 and they don't fit on the front without rubbing in sharp turns. I have 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears. No reason for wider fronts, it would be...

    Help! New Fuel Pump, still won't start

    I would check the pump wires for 12v first since it is easy & quick. I just bought that frpp190 lph pump asm also. Make sure you hang the fuel lines away from you exhaust pipes as I melted mine when the hanger broke off and they fell onto the pipes!! Not very fun....

    speedo cable core removal

    Just a quick one on the speedo cable core. I have searched the archive and it looks like Jr has a good write up on how to swap the speedo cable but I just wanted to verfiy that removing the inner core only is pretty easy. It looks like you just unplug the speedo cable from the instrument panel...

    Dash Speaker Replacement

    That boston speaker is a beast, probably out of my league...I am just getting started! I think I will start out with the JL 8" and the Rockford Amp. If the JL 8" is rated at 250RMS and 500 Peak, would the Rockford P200-2 be enough. P200-2 looks like the bridged RMS is 200W @ 4ohms? The...

    Dash Speaker Replacement

    Amp..... I hadn't got that far yet, got any suggestions. I will check out those Boston subs on eBay. I could probably do fine with the extra space. So the sealed boxes with hit harder with faster response?
