I drove it to the gas station to finally put some 93 in it but when I did it all came right back up out the filler neck. Joe and I (mainly Joe) took it all apart ripped out all the evap crap and that solved that issue.
Put the bigger 12PSI spring in the BOV and it now longer runs super lean at idle.
Alignment is still messed (going in to get a good one this week hopefully).
2 small oil leaks some where (100* outside didnt want to work on it any longer)
It desperately needs to be cleaned and I need to redo the air fittings again to fix my tank leak, didnt let the loctite 545 set long enough before putting pressure through the system.
The list of things to do is getting smaller and smaller! I am going to ditch the BOV for a DV so if anyone is interested in a BOV search my started threads!
I love the reassuring friend... "alignment ain't bad" (aka least of your worries) and.. It doesnt sound bad" (aka, boostedVR can have a few sqeeks)
:beer: cheers for getting it rolling. Such a good feeling after its been down! (been there bud). I too forgot which side to fill up on it took so long haha:laugh::wave:
That was the first real drive in it. It was before we fixed a couple issues we found on that drive (IE Fuel tank not venting and the car running lean after boost and stalling).
I cant tell if Justin is scared of it or not. I hammered the gas and he grabbed the door handle and looked kinda nervous ahah. Then he said "It would be hard for me to to hammer it all the time too"
I dont have a code for ABS/Trac and the light never comes on even when it looses traction. ABS hasnt ever come on since either, not sure if thats because the new brakes stop the car before it can kick in or if ABS is gone too.
