I'll gladly drive it to Jim's Evil Grin

by **Rudel** 2011-09-06, 10:41 am

3rd gear slips, so it's not like you can gun it. Laughing

Just trailer it to be on the safe side. I think there's about 1/4 tank of 93 left.

Jim, I talked to Jared, he'll get the exhaust sliced and shipped. I'll need to buy some v-bands/rings for it. FPR and fittings finally showed up too.

Slipping clutches never stopped me before lol but yea trailer is a better idea. and either call ATP or Tial to get the right vband clamp. or i can do it for you

by **Rudel** 2011-09-07, 12:17 am

They never stopped me either... Laughing

Ok so the engine harness, well lets get that asap so when i have the motor out i can change it.

by **Rudel** 2011-12-24, 12:29 pm

Working on it. No one seems to be selling any on the boards.

by **Rudel** 2011-12-28, 4:45 am

Norcal to the rescue....he told a guy on FJ, and I should be gettng the last 2 items.

If anything, All I should really need is the ECU. We can mod the harness perhaps.

If you want to pick up the car and parts now, or set up a time to at least take parts off before moving it to your shop, let me know.
