I'm still trying to get everything adjusted to being 3000' lower in elevation than where I just moved from. My fuel pressure had cept up to 70psi :ugh:, fixed that, but now something seems to be up with my boost controller. Put the petal to the metal for the first time on the way home from work yesterday, WOOOOOOSH POP! Spiked 30psi. :eek4: Nothing seems to be damaged, but it scared the crap out of me. Still trying to figure out what caused that, all vacuum lines are still connected and the wastegate moves...

I have dyno time scheduled for Saturday to try and tune the car, so hopefully I can get everything sorted out before then. After tuning it, I'll be good to go! Well at least until I happen across more money and decide to do more to the car anyway, lol.

Do you have bullits on your sebring by any chance?

I need:

Put the heads back on.
Put the rest of the shit back on that I took off to get to the heads.
New fuel pump.
New front shocks.
Maybe a Drag Radial? idk we shall see.
Fix the damn shift linkage so I can shift into reverse.
Try to figure out a way to get the engine mounted better (I have been having a problem with the engine hitting the decklid under hard acceleration).

The gf is going out of town next week for spring break, so that'll leave me PLENTY of time to work it.

Get rid of the rubber mounts and use polyurethane mounts or solid mount the engine to the cradle and used poly or aluminum bushings for the cradle. On my V-8 I solid mounted the motor/trans mounts and used poly bushings on the cradle.

Aluminum cradle bushings are sold here:

For Poly bushings (for many different cars) see: http://www.suspension.com/

Here are the Fiero parts: http://www.suspension.com/fiero-prothane.html

I need to put a new clutch in my Cobra and finish up the tune.

I *could* just get my GN cut and buffed (new paint job), tune it, and be done....but I'm putting a deposit on a new longblock down this weekend like a moron, so I'll be stuck doing an engine swap later this year.

My TA needs a cam, then I'll have to measure for the pushrods. I need to install the glide, shifter, etc....as well as the headers. Then, I'll have to redo my tune. It would at least run again then. To be *finished* I need to finish up all the weight reduction, install the nitrous dedicated fuel cell and the 2nd and 3rd kits.....the more I think about it, the more I think it'll never be finished lol.


I talked to UMI Suspension today. I'm considering getting setup as a distributor. If I do that I'll redo the susp. on my TA to full UMI, and the Cobra, TA, and GN will all get upper and lower A-Arms as part of my initial buy in :D
