Hey guys, I finally was able to get the car down here when I left Missouri. I am thinking of going to get the F-Body radiator tomorrow and change my oil pan gasket, b/c its leaking. Other than that, the car is doing good, it made it down here and I got about 23-25 mpg. It was one hot trip with no A/C. Other than that I am happy to have been able to get it. :headbang:

Sounds like a plan Jim :headbang:
I have my eyes on an older laptop that may just do the trick for my DS. I am making sure that I do things the right way before I start putting my foot in it good. :headbang:

[chrisgarrett46]

So the head gaskets are still holding together?
I knew you'd end up replacing that radiator.

Man dude, good for you. Dont let them low ball you on the salary. :yup: I knew and still know a few engineers there. I would check out the government personally, they will probably pay more starting off. Shoot me a PM, O congrats on the job also. :cheers:

O yeah Chris, everything is holding up great. The radiator isnt too bad, but you seen it for yourself. I ran it all day today and it never got above 200 degrees. I did install rewire and install a relay to the fan though. I will still swap the radiator, but I will probably wait, b/c I wont drive the car all that much until I get the oil leak fixed. Chris, my oil is leaking something terrible. I plan to replace the oil pan gasket and I will probably go with cork. My screws on the oil and transmission pan were all backed off before I got ready to bring the car back to Georgia. So I ended up having to tighten my bolts. I dont think I will have a problem with any leaks once I take care of this. I still had a problem with the car popping also Chris. I swapped out my coil pack and module, and the popping went away. The car just didnt pick up good, and there was a ping on the passenger side, I thought that it was loose bolts (which it was), but I tighten them. The sound was still there, but it wasnt as bad. So I pulled and replaced the exhaust gasket. This thing runs crazy man. I have the boost set to no more than 14-15lbs.

O yeah Chris, you wouldnt know my car now. My mom had it painted for me as a surprise.

Hey guys, I did end up finding a laptop today to use, but I cant get my DS to work. When I try to load the software, it keep saying that DS hardware could not be found or something like that. Can anyone help me out?

 

[charleslong]

Jeremy let me use his turbo tweaks chip, and this thing made a pretty big difference in the way my car ran. The chip was burned for 42lb injectors and a 44. I have pretty much the same combo, with GN1's and a few other things. Eric, dont be surprised if you hear from me sometime in the near future.
