Most of you know my horror story with the shop that was doing the work on my car. Finally, after way more trouble than any car is worth I was able to get my car back and running.
After getting it aligned and balanced yesterday, I took it up to Angeles Crest for a nice easy run and some pictures. Still have some bugs to work out in the tuning before I push it 100% anywhere.
The people who did my dyno tuning didnt do the best job, they simply tuned it for power delivery rather than driveability. It idles kinda funny until it warms up and runs pretty damn rich in the low RPM range. Up past 3000-4000rpm though it sings beautifully.
For those that dont know, Im running a 3rd gen 3SGTE motor from an ST205 Celica. No underhood shots yet, because I have a lot of things that need to be powercoated. All my piping is just raw metal, so I dont want to show it off until its ready. Anyways, enough talk- on to the pics!!!!!!
The full modlist is on my cardomain page in my sig.
