Okay, I don't think I've met you yet. You plan on making it out to cars and coffee on Saturday morning ?

Okay haha. No rush, handle your stuff first. I will let you know if there is abother meet like that. Are you on the Jax or Orlando dsm page?

I'd go with link as your first step for upgrades. Then wideband, boost gauge, maybe water temp or oil temp or egt for now until you decide what else you want. Those will be essential parts to your build though. I've had the 3 gauge pillar pod in the past, it's nice to have as long as your gauges...

If you still haven't even gotten the car yet, you are getting way ahead of yourself. You will need to be putting your time and some money into maintenance first. Iso recommend changing all the fluids, filters, and belts as a start for your project. Like you said, you need it to be reliable...

How do you plan on doing your build ? All at once with all the proper supporting mods for the power mods ? Or piece it together as you go?

Being able to log everything, post logs, self tune, watch everything in real time. It's a good thing to have for engine management.

dsmlink would be a great first mod. It sounds like you have a little bit of an idea of what you want out of the car, and if you plan on getting it in the future anyways. Why wait to read about it? You can always start right now.

Same here! It was a great turn out. There were 75+ people that showed.

Are you able to post a video?

Update AC is fixed. The cable by the ecu needed adjusting. Still have the idle problem. My idle is still a little rough and drops when a load like my AC is applied. I checked my iac/isc and it checks good. I also got abrand new one and replaced it to see if it was bad even with proper resistance...

Hey everyone, there's going to be a meet this weekend on Saturday the 29th. We are trying to get as many dsms out there as possible. We do have a Facebook page if you aren't on there already. The meet is planned for 8 pm but we might meet up earlier to cruise over as a group. Please let me know...

Okay, I think the weird ticking noise is my pcv. Someone told me since my idle is jumpy it is the ball(?) on the inside to let air out and not in going back and forth due to the idle. I'm going to test my iac to see if that could be an issue, and also a blt. Also, my ac is no longer blowing cold...

Yes, I still have my balance shafts. Also, there is a weird noise around the intake manifold every 3 minutes or so with the car off. I'll post the video soon.

Okay, so checked out the car in a dark garage. Wasn't able to see any kind of arcing. I took out one of the spark plugs, and the top seemed a little loose. I'm going to replace them today to see if that fixes or changes anything. I will keep you updated. Also, if any other ideas come to mind...

Okay, got it started and the timing belt replaced. Replaced the cas which now it starts. While it is running, it is running rough, rougher than before it died. No belts were snapped, and it was off maybe 1 or 2 teeth in timing.There is some weird noises, almost like uncontrolled sparking like...
