Im looking forward to it...lol same setup for me.....stage 4 clutch, Energy mounts, and no balance shafts.
Do you feel it through the whole car or steering wheel or seats?
so i left my car running to run inside and grab a camera.....as im walking outside it just shuts off........sooooo....yay....i think it has something to do with the coolant temp sensor because its reading cold on the dash but 5 minutes ago it was normal.....oh the joys of boosting a non-boosted factory car.
ya i was with him last night at like 12, he said he feels so bad for you man, luiggi hasnt even touched the car really, he was like "i gotta figure this thing out myself" julio is lost at what it could be, this thing is a mystery

there is something that they have missed. cause hte car was good before it got there. i mean except for he burned piston rings and cracked pistons lol. but i mean it drove perfect there. there is something they missed that is really small that they havent noticed. someone has mentioned to me that it could be that the injectors are staying wide open? and thats why the engine is flooding?

that makes 110% sense that it would be hte tstat, the tstat controls alot of stuff, newer engines shut off when it gets too hot
when my car decided to drop both fans out the bottom of hte car and it overheated hardcore my car wouldn't start and when it did it showed "cold" even though i knew it was still hot.

i lied yamaha.....you can feel it through the steering wheel and seats.......its not bad...kinda like a little back massage....i doubt anyone can tell if they have never rode in your car before
yup......its driving and everything.....i finished it up today and now im tired as hell so im gonna finish it up tomorrow and change the oil tomorrow around 50 miles....then again at 500 and 1500
