If you have the down-time, and you plan to continue to run the OEM EEC... Send it in.

The EECs are getting not getting any cheaper. Soon it will be less expensive to install a stand-alone.

Down time isn’t an issue, plus it looks like ECUexchange is like a 2 week turnaround time anyways. With the never ending harmonic balancer saga she sat for like over a month, no sweat.

I could actually take that time to do some weather stripping replacements.

The most I ‘think’ I would do with this car in the near future is a Kenne Bell supercharger on the stock engine.

Drover her to work today. Did a little 2nd - 3rd gear pull. At the high RPMs in 2nd my brake light came on? Anyone know what would cause that. When i shifted to 3rd it went away. Definitely need to bleed my brakes too, they kinda suck at the moment. I wouldn't trust them to do a hard stop at this point.

Also need to figure out my tire rubbing in the rear. Pulling into my work parking lot there was a loud rub and when i got out a sliver of tire was just hanging off the side, lol.

Low on brake fluid?

You know, i didn't think so before... i remember the MC being really full when i got it. I just went out to look and here's what the MC looks like:



It looks lower than i remember it. I wonder if i have a leak somewhere...

Then theres the known issue of the drivers front rotor not making full contact with the pad, as shown here:



I did actually look around the drivers caliper the last time i had the wheel off making clearance. I think the slide pin or whatever its called needs to be greased. It was bone dry so i was thinking maybe the pads wouldn't move even with the pistons trying to push it towards the rotor. Does that make sense?

But damn, i hope i don't have a leak somewhere. It does not 'drip' any fluid on my driveway that i am aware of and i have been under the car frequently lately. I guess i'll focus more on the brake system. I still think it needs to be re-bled. I bought a Motive pressure bleeder so just need to block out some time to do it.

And a full body pic just because:

Found my issue must have happened on the way to work cause this definitely wasn’t like this sitting in my driveway.

Massive brake fluid leak coming from the rear passenger side. Glad I didn’t drive this home… getting towed now.
