QUOTE (Mojave @ Sep 20 2010, 07:19 PM)  I think the issue is that the LS1 is missing... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was beginning to think that I needed an SB2.2 to fix this issue, but luckily today I found that I (dip shit) had one of the ECM power wires wired into the accessory circuit which is not powered while cranking. Moved the fan circuit over to accessory to make room for the ECM power wire in the ignition part of the fuse panel and it started right up. Here's proof if you need it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixpj79mLV0A I was worried about the exhaust initially but setting the timing made it not sound like a top fuel dragster. I'm anxious to get it on the ground and outside to see what it sounds like. |

Well since Austin has been holding out on us with his updates, I'll jump in and give as much as an update as I can.
Below is the transcript of a phone call I had with him today. This is similar to many of his calls where I have to go out to the garage and look at one of my cars to tell him how to put his back together. LOL Jeremy: What do you want dirt bag? Austin: hey are you by your cars? Jeremy: yah, I'm in the garage now actually, about to leave on the motorcycle.... Austin: hey that triangle weatherstripping thing by the rear view mirrors, it's longer on one side than on the other. Is the long side supposed to be on the inside of the car or the outside? Jeremy: (looking at camaro) the long part is supposed to be on the inside of the car (walks over to TA).........Yup the TA is the same way...... Austin: well it looks like i put the one in backwards Jeremy: you're stupid failure Austin: I'm wrapping this thing up so I can drive it home from the body shop today. Not sure if I should post any pix or keep you guys waiting.... Jeremy: well I've had an erection for over 4 hours now, so unless you want me to seek medical attention you better post some pix Austin: (laughing) well I'll think about it.........

^ True story. Hopefully Jeremy is seeing this in time..

I need to get the gauges in, work on the hood/fender/fascia fitment, fix the exhaust outlet, headlights, install the rest of the firewall block off plates so I don't smell like gas, fire extinghisher, door weather-strip, the other 2 hood pins, fix a dzus, and bunch of other small stuff. |

Get that thing on the track...and don't put on the blue tape to protect from stone chips...invest in the 3M clear protectant. ERV |

ERV looks really good. I must have missed the part of the build that addressed the side exhaust exit. I like it though! |

incredible man. As I suspected, I'm still loving the rear spoiler, I'm going to have to do something like that on mine, I don't care if it's ricer or not. Fantastic paint quality it appears from the pix. Now we gotta talk about numbers and such to break up all that pretty red a bit. What did Mrs. Gerding say when you got home? How did it drive? How light does it feel? Ready for that SB2.2 yet?

Yeah, I think the hatch and spoiler might be my favorite parts of the whole car. QUOTE (1meanZ @ Oct 11 2010, 01:06 AM) Fantastic paint quality it appears from the pix. The pics don't do it justice, it is amazing. QUOTE (1meanZ @ Oct 11 2010, 01:06 AM) What How did it drive? How light does it feel? It feels stiff, light, loud, and rattles like crazy. I forgot how bad the tune is still off, I wish it ran as well as yours does. I'm not sure if the new exhaust has made a drastic change or not. Also, it has had 2 year old gas in the tank until right before I drove it home so there might be some self cleaning that happens. I didn't really get a chance to jump on it more than doing a little burnout at Ice Nine. I was about to jump on it on an on-ramp but saw a cop right at the end with someone pulled over already so I decided against it. Beyond that I just wanted to get it home in one piece so I didn't play around. I like the initial feel of the manual brakes but there was a couple times I tried to stop a little hard and it didn't really want to grab near like it used to so I need to test this out some more. QUOTE (1meanZ @ Oct 11 2010, 01:06 AM) Now we gotta talk about numbers and such to break up all that pretty red a bit. Yeah, Keith and I have some ideas but we should definitly talk, maybe at Gingerman soon? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) QUOTE (1meanZ @ Oct 11 2010, 01:06 AM) did Mrs. Gerding say when you got home? She was pissed because I did nothing but work on the car for 4 days straight (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But she likes the paint since she won't feel like tralier park queen riding in it anymore (well, that is until anyone looks at me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) ). She sat in the drivers seat (pass not in yet) and she say's 'this scares me' because she can't really see out the windows because the seat is so low! lol Keith told me I look like a kid driving it. QUOTE (1meanZ @ Oct 11 2010, 01:06 AM) Ready for that SB2.2 yet? I can't handle what I got so no! |

We're attempting to go to Gingerman this weekend if the weather holds. We'll get more pix of the car then I'm sure, hopefully none of the pics are of him in the sand trap! LOL
