MBrent's fix the CRiX project
#91
okay, finished up the suspension, replaced a broken wheel stud, and drove her home. on the way, noticed 2 problems. vtec is intermitten. sometimes hits hard @5k, redlines @8200. sometimes no vtec, redlines @7k. hmmm. prob a ghey ecu prob. no codes tho. otehr prob is a bumping sound occasionally from pass rear. mustve not buttoned something back up right. trial and error guys, just fightin' my way through.
my soultion for my VTAK y0! is that im converting to obd1 soon, with a chipped phearable ecu. that should iron the kinks out. gonna do a once over on my pass rear suspension too. could be that the car is hitting a bumpstop. it didnt have them before, so maybe this is just a new noise thats not a problem.
soooo, heres whats left........
1. check out the pass rear suspension
2. fix exhaust leak (may go with complete new system, just depends on when i start generating some income)
3. body and paint. body work is minimal, just gotta grab a new rear bumper.
4.si seats need recovered (no ricing seats and harnesses this time)
5. obd1 w/chipped ecu conversion
6. little things, i want a wink mirror, some extended tophats for my front shocks, some rear splashguards
7. one day, when i hit the lotto, delete the dumb sunroof, and get an autopower 4pt roll bar that lets me keep my rear interior.
ok guys, bash away. i can take it! but dont talk **** about wink mirrors... lol

oh, most definitely. 2 rattle cans will do it, after i pressure wash the undercarriage. just waiting on doing the little nittenoid things until i get anything out of the way that hinders driveability. thx for the encouragement guys, i need it. brent is hard to motivate. typical deep south procrastinator.
