Post S3 install thread because KiwiFail

Good day yesterday. Fixed my coolant leak and got on the dyno and sent it!

Justin doing his magic and ended up with 371/360 on 20 psi and, if I heard right, 9* of timing. Solid number just on 93 gas.

I think I just found my future wife. This girl I’ve been hanging out with helped me work on the car before I went to Freektune shop and took this pic.

Okayyyy small update

Fixed a couple of coolant leak and then car died on me when I was just cruising on my way to work last week or so. Called a tow truck to my uncle’s and took a look a couple of days later. This happened

Engine bar 1 fuse popped!
Thank you Justin, @Sho; @alexwlwsn and @Maisonvi; for the pointers. I checked all the wiring but nothing seemed to be shorting. Could be because some wires got kinked under the intake idk.. but it’s fixed lol

The oil cap that came with the car wasn’t threading in all the way and it was spilling some oil all this time. No wonder I kept getting a lugging/jerking feeling randomly. Thought it was the BOV or CS TB

First thought was maybe it didn’t thread all the way in because of the baffle

So I borrowed a local’s cap and it fits in there nicely! Problem solved! He’s letting me have the cap lol

Now the cap is replaced, car is running mint! No more random jerking or lugging.

Yesterday I went to the a dealership where a local Nator member works for an inspection. Apparently I need to replace my driver side LCA! Great, I just replaced that damn thing last month with a brand new Moog. Thankfully I have a spare. So I’ll get to it soon.

Once I got home, I broke out the ol drill and cleaned my headlights! No more yellowing!!

Herro fellaz,

Haven’t updated in a while. The saga to be un-slow continues. Didn’t really do much to the car but drive it everyday and did a 1000 mile interval change. So far I did this:

Just a bit of wire tuck
