been a few days, got the car out of limp mode, now i'm trying to be patient as i learn about fuel mapping.. it runs extremely rich, to the point of misfire. i've only idled/revved it slightly a few times to be safe.
i have to re-build my downpipe as it encroached on my shifter cables
swear to god they weren't in the way BEFORE lol.. oh well, tonight's project.

here's my new downpipe vs my old downpipe (obviously i'll be wrapping the new one..
new one:
old one..
that crazy crook in the new one JUST clears the shifter cables, so you can see how poorly i calculated space the first time around ;)

I think wrapping it makes it look a lot better.
My down pipe looks like that too, lol.
