my ac compressor blew guts all over my engine bay.. thanks lol.

cut the belt and man, so much moer quieter now.. lol.
used pump goes in on Monday, 70k miles, cant beat 75 bucks. if i get 10k miles out of it, that will mean 2 years of driving.. not bad.

anyhoo.. got the wing on last night.
Sorry for the blurry @ss phone pics.. not so hot.

Yeah I have spacers to poke the rears a hair.
I'm glad I decided to do the wing after all..except I can't see **** behind me on the fwy..I can tell cars are there, just can't see headlights in the distance..aka scanning for cops.

yep, its all welded too, so that shifter aint rattling or wobbling or going anywhere. A very confident feel
Took a twm short shifter, cut the threads off so the boot would sit flush w the surround, then threaded and inch of what was left and Chris at rev Em Hard welded it up.

cars runnign a bit on the warm side after crusing for an hour or so.

Plus the hesistation at 2500 rpms is getting really bad.. added to the fact that the AC is becomming tempermental again.. and that its going to slid into the 100s here in the next week.. i forsee this car sitting insdie aside for night time weekend drives for about 3 months now lol.

Plenty of time to play w it.


So i got off my duff and installed some thngs that i told myself were going to be a pita.. and none of them were .. lol.

Literally took me an hour to do all of this.


Installed a cell phone holder that i got from Any-s.net very spendy but workls like a charm.. i have ZERO space to hold a phone.. no glove boxes, etc.
While it looks a hair cluttered, its a life saver.

Also got rid of the useless MOMO hub i had been using for years.
The backside wasnt correcet for the car and i had to hack up w clockspring.. never had a horn until this weekend.. damn thats a nice thing to have back.

Installed an NRG short hib and a 1 inch spacer collar as well.

Also installed my Nismo RS380 pedal.

thanks Fahad.. its literally right as you start off at a stop light, it just cuts out for a second...and it seems mostly load dependant, ie not as bad on the fwy vs a stop light..
enuff it hops the car a touch.. please tell me more.. i read another thread about this w a guy running cjm stage o rfs, had issues w the fuel pressure regulator,,but im dying to hear what you found... car to expound? feel free to blab as much as you want, im really wanting to fix this.
