I had no power from mine a couple years ago and it was the socket itself. I had power to it and everything. Just a thought. Before that I never knew it could go bad haha.

1. possibly paint engine bay (but probably not)
2. possibly install ducting for the VMIC
3. hopefully new coil setup and reinstall cruise control
4. possibly construct custom gauge pod setup/change gauges
5. get the front fenders modified to match the rear fenders
6. ss braided lines and reroute for water injection
7. possibly move battery again this time to storage bin behind passenger seat
8. help roommates get their FDs running/finished so they can go too

I just finished a bunch of projects so I want to drive it again and I don't want to take any chances on it not being ready by April. I haven't been to DGRR since '06 and I'm dying to go again.

IH8DSM · 01-04-2011, 12:50 AM

To much stuff

1. Order and install coilover set up
2. Order and install wheels and fender flares
3. Replace fuel filter
4. Double check all new and old parts

Hopefully I will have it all done way before the gap hopefully be the keyword

darthrotary · 01-04-2011, 09:02 AM

1. 13B-REW swap into my FB! (Yes Holly, HollyII will be reborn!)
2. Back to original body panels, getting rid of that ugly ass bumper!

It works eventually if I mess with whatever I plug in enough. Not sure what all is up with that but I'll test it out.

Proxy One · 01-04-2011, 02:46 PM

Im bringing my FD this year instead of the Rx2, I need to get it tuned and might have some new wheels by then too.
