Back when my shift cables snapped and the car was just sitting, not being able to be driven....got a wild hair up my ass to do other "maintanence" work on the car.
I disassembled the throttlebody to replace the seals and block the FIAV. Took the intake manifold off and scraped the RTV seal off....YES the guys that had the car before me used ONLY RTV for the seal.
There was oil EVERYWHERE because there was a massive oil leak from the oil pump spraying shit tons of oil all over the bay.
The CAS only had one nut holding it on, so it was leaking like hell and the seal had turned to hard plastic. Replaced the seal, replaced one stud for the CAS and replaced both nuts.
Upgraded all bolts for the throttlebody and intake manifold to stainless steel allen heads.
Billet spark plug cover.
Stainless braided fuel line for AFPR...
I extended the harnesses for the fuel injectors and put new injector clips on. The reason for this was so that the wires could be ran through the middle of the intake manifold and be hidden. The injectors were turned around so that the plugs were hidden and the garbage all over the manifold could be removed. The coilpack was relocated...although I need to find a better spot eventually. The vacuum lines were all replaced with silicone lines and hidden through the middle of the manifold as well.
Fuel rail, throttlebody and intake manifold were recoated for a new appearance.
1000cc Delphi's (FIC / PTE) installed, along with the AEM AFPR.
Much much more, and I'm still not done.....just take a look at the pics. Newest pics are in the second post.
