I did the following over the past few days:

New Car:

- Installed PSK
- Installed 61mm pulley
- Installed Buckhead Import's tune
- Installed NW Single CAI
- Installed SL55 fuel pump
- Installed NW Catch can
- Installed Wavetrac (a week ago)
- Installed O2 bung for the wideband. (Yes, I said "bung")


Old Car:

Removed: All mods except the NW heat exchanger and 181 pulley.
Installed: 100mm idler pulley to tighten up the belt.
Installed: Stock fuel rail, injectors, mani's, and Buckhead Import's tune.

Now I just need to find a buyer.

 

WooooHoooooo! I got my el-cheapo 18 segment LED license plate lights today and installed them. The only mod I had to do was remove a little plastic "ear" off each one so it fit snugly into the opening. OMG are they BRIGHT! They actually light up the rear almost like a backup light! Very happy and satisfied, especially since I only paid $26.85 for the set DELIVERED! These things ROCK!

 

Pictures! We need pictures!

 

Sorry guys n gals but the weather outside is frightful (for South Carolina) and I did it in the really cold outside weather with the driving wind so I didn't take any pictures (they would not have come out anyway as I was shivering a lot). The post is here ( https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...tml#post714670 ), and the link I used is in one of the posts back around the 14th or 15th of December (if I remember correctly) that I ordered them from. I don't even know if the price is still the same so some quick searching should come up with the nitty-gritty for ya. Good luck!

 

What a day! I started working on the car at 11AM and knocked off around 10PM. Anyway, here's what I've been installing and I'm still not finished:

- stereo
- reverse camera (required the removal of the bumper to do it right)
- Sirius sat radio along with the PITA antenna
- Widenband O2 sensor
- NW manifolds
- Boost sensor

 

That's a long list, good day. Who welded the exhuast bung? pictures?

 

The local town idiot did the install on the bung. I say that because the idiot didn't center the bung on the hole when he welded it, so I spent over an hour with every tool I own to fix it.

I had it welded on the passenger exhaust manifold beside the factory upstream O2 sensor.

 

did you leave the exhuast installed or removed?

 

I left it in place. There is just enough room to do the job. I'll take a photo tomorrow and post it up. I'd do it now, but the in-laws are sleeping downstairs.

 

Got a new floor jack for the holiday.
Started my winter project to clean, detail each wheel well, tire and rim. Then re-balance.

It's cold here...
I have a very https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...age-83227.html understanding wife

 

She must have some "Bikers Wife" bloodlines.. LOL.
That's when you know they love you..

 

Ya, surprised she let me do this inside.

She's a "clean freak".....well, I AM cleaning the wheels!

 

A little surprized to see that you're going with a 61mm and leaving the 181 on the donor car. Not going stacked again....ever ?

 

Lol, yes that is like me using Durafix aluminum weld to fix my front wheel crack in the kitchen, haha. Wife just rolled her eyes and told me that it stunk, then proceeded to open the front and back door to keep the smoke alarm from going off...again! She is great. She know me too well after being together for 20 years.

 

This is all good, BUT YOU ARE DOING IT ALL WRONG !!!!!
You do NOT put the wheel on a TV tray, you put it on the treadmill in the background of the picture, turn that on and let the wheel turn as you sit back with a beer in one hand while holding a gasoline soaked rag in the other hand against the inside of the wheel.
Smoking a cigarette while doing this is not advised.

 

"...held in place with a 10" length of 2" PVC pipe and duct tape..."

 

Just goes to show : you can't fool an engineer. I was thinking of just letting the tire/wheel run up against the post at the end of the treadmill, and running the belt fast enough to have gyroscopic effect keep the wheel upright ........

 

Been there, done that, so it's time to move on. I've been swapping between 3 pulleys lately (61, 65, and 69) trying to decide what to run. The 69mm is the fastest for me out of the 3 when it comes to 0-60 times. The smaller pulleys just lead to more tire spin and slower times for my all-season tires. When I install summer tires this spring, I'll reevaluate.

 

Had the Megan racing m-rs installed! Sounds great!!!!

 

Funny! Made me chuckle a little out loud!
