Well, I do have a slight miss at idle. Not sure if it's the same as everyone else that's reported a miss; it's like one micro-miss every 3 or 4 seconds, hardly noticeable, actually. And I have done the igniter ground mod.

Just picked up 3 coils for $70 shipped. Looking forward to trying this mod out. I see that Flubyux is using a plug gapped at .048", with no breakup at 17psi. This tells me that another benefit to this mod might simply be more efficient combustion @ idle/part throttle, due to that increased gap...

Check that the wiring at the top of the fuel pump is not exposed, grounding it to the car. Maybe in reversing the wires, one of them frayed.

This is almost on-topic: Does anyone know if the upper nose panels are the same for 86.5-88, AND 89+? Or is there a difference due to the change in lower bumper?

I'm confused- the interior pic shows what looks to be a manual shifter...

Lol. And remember that a stitch in time saves nine. Or it might be ten- can't remember. Check the service manual to be sure before you begin.

I've run my Walbro without the 12v mod for 5yrs now, but I only boost to about 12psi max, and it's tuned rich. When i go to a T-4 after the summer, I'll be doing the rewire. And as Shaeff pointed out, the 9-12volt switchover does play havoc with AFR adjustment when you're going for max power.

Yes. The thermostat is designed to hold coolant in the radiator long enough to allow the heat to be transferred to the rad, and thus to the airflow. If it flows straight through with being allowed to "pause" in the radiator, then no heat gets radiated, thus sending hot coolant back into the...

I get that too. Lemme know if you figure it out, but my plan is to replace all control arm front bushings, balljoints and the entire steering rack+ bushings. So I imagine I'll find it in there somewhere.

Hell, we still do it. High performance single engine planes like the Cirrus GTS and Columbia 400 are both twin turbo. And with intake, exhaust and MAFT, I made 260/260 rwhp/tq on 7.5 psi. That's close to 290 flywheel hp. So there's no reason Habanero can't be even higher than that with his setup.

Not sure, Razoe. But I can tell you that a guy just told me to make sure that when they replace the windshield on a targa, that they should use an adhesive strip, and not glue the windshield into place. This will allow it to flex in the frame. I have to get my windshield replaced again due to a...

Clarification- What type of injectors are you putting in- and what year is your car- '88?

Good to hear- congrats, Kai.

It's the cps. The way to verify this, is to remove the timing adjustment(cps hold-down) bolt, and rotate the cps about 5 degrees either way beyond its normal range of adjustment. If it runs smoother(which it will), that means you have to insert the cps one tooth in the direction of where you...

Thanks. I also noticed that the car starts alot faster now; used to take like 4-5 seconds of cranking. Now it only takes 2. I was thinking that my fuel pump's checkvalve was bad because I'd always lose rail pressure after shutdown, but now I'm wondering if I had an injector or two leaking?

Yeah, but that's regular maintenance, vs. screws that haven't been touched since Reagan was president.

You just need Bosch type clips. They're also referred to as EV1 connectors. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RC-Fuel-Injector-Wiring-Clips-Connectors-Bosch-EV1-EV-1-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4cea4b14afQQitemZ330348303535QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

A windshield as carry-on??:yikes: I *don't* think that'll "fit easily into the overhead compartment, or under the seat in front".

#4, for the brake master cylinder??

There's the Bomex, and the Kaminari styles. You probably won't find a Kaminari style available, but people tend to prefer the Bomex style(Shine replica) more anyway. Kaminari: Bomex/Shineauto:
