P-body 24v updates

[Shadow24V]

ebay :) was like 19.99 plus 10ish or something shipping

no one on the AFPR stuff? lol

[irocelectric93]

lol good ole ebay. If they work at all let me know. What model were the coilovers made for anyway?

[Shadow24V]

it looks like a generic kit, but i got one for a 00-06 eclipse (its a heavier car than the P-body) so *shrugs*

[Shadow24V]

well, shes 4 wheels on the ground finally. filled the tranny with AMSoil, did an eyeball alignment (good enough to get to the alignment shop) got the header re-installed, starter in, oil filter adapter on etc. just got to wire the ignition box in and mount that and the coil somewhere and ill be good to go on tuning again :) (hopefully tomorrow afternoon)

[Shadow24V]

good news! i got everything together, and played with the MS some... Got it to idle for a while :)
24v idling
(need quicktime)

although im having issues, the alternator isnt charging..... *shrug*

Audio was in/out w pics, ahh!
Was nice slideshow though.
;)

[Shadow24V]

yeah, slideshow is iffy, but hey, it was using photobucket's photoshop express so *shrug* couldnt tweak things

[Dusty_Duster]

Yeah, where did you get those coilovers? Were they direct bolt-on?

[Shadow24V]

see post #18, and no, i followed the BM how-to :)

[Shadow24V]

well, worked on the MS some more. found out i have a dead alternator and had to drop $155 on a new one :( (and it didnt even come with a pulley!) so ill see how it goes tomorrow. gonna do some reading on the MS site for info. it DID drive about 1000' though

[Shadow24V]

got the new alternator to charge finally..... one external VR mod later :). still messing with the MS, and getting frustrated at it. i feel like im guessing in the dark. It doesn't help that so far, the tuning place near by wont even touch the car, and one about an hour and a half away, wants $170/hr to tune it.... *sigh*

btw i want your grill lol, mine fell off on my first long drive...I dont really have it attached very well. There is just so much hidden material you can cut off lol.
mod some clear signals to fit in there.

Which place did you call? Bristol Dyno is in the same shop as Victor Research, they're a bunch of DSM guys but you never know.

[Shadow24V]

the 170/hr was Jannetty in waterbury. I was hoping for something a little more local to hartford though, since i cant drive her.... *sigh* i wish i knew more about tuning....


and you want my grill brent? cant find one in the J-yard? i personally like the shadow grill over the sundance grill but thats me

:edit, bristol dyno IS in hartford....hmmmm

[jmitch]

sheesh if you need a grill for a sundance or shadow the yard near me gets a ton of em.
