Yay!

Too bad it is back to slow (stock). My STI would waste it . But it does have nice torque off the line. Been a while since I drove a car that could spin the rear tires with an idle launch...

cool... so what's the story here... you had the '03 and got the STI. Then sold the '03 right? so did you have this in storage or something?

Hey Dave

The place ain't the same without ya

I saw you on here about a week ago but did not have access to my car at that time to help you out

Long time ago I had a little Falcon that was pretty wild and put it back to stock form ... ... Talk about slow

I do know what you mean Bud

Good to see you on the board once more

Grady

I started putting the '95 back to stock after I bought the Cobra. Then I procrastinated ........ a lot. Then I bought the STI, and a couple months later sold the Cobra. And still the '95 sat. It hasn't had heads installed for almost 2 years . Other projects came & went and the '95 kept getting put on hold.

I still need help . Got a MIL right now, and I ran the codes a few minutes ago -- 122, 157, 158. The last two are because the MAF connector is defective and won't stay attached properly (nothing a little chicken wire can't fix ). 122 is TPS . I thought I had the correct wiring connections from FFI, but apparently not.

So if you want to go out and tell me which wire is which, that would be real nice .

In addition to the TPS connector, I think I need to try and track down a replacement MAF connector. Chicken wire is effective but kinda ghetto looking.

Nice to see you around again. I remember you were/are very knowledgeable(sp?) about suspensions and other things. I take it you're planning on selling hairy?

Most likely I will try. But I do not need the cash, and I like the car well enough, so I will be pretty firm on my selling price. Combine that with the love/hate color, and it may be quite a while before I sell it .

If I end up keeping it long enough (and I can get a nice raise at work to pay for it all), who knows... I think a turbocharged 393 would be a lot of fun. Or perhaps a naturally aspirated 514.

Good see you back man. You should really try to stick around.

Anyways, you need a good project, so i think you should keep the car and do something wild. Its not like its selling value is a life changing amount so KEEP IT!!

heh, we'll see . I'm not especially interested in reopening this money pit anytime soon, it was very effective the first time around.
