News for the day..
Car runs, just not very well. Could possibly be a few things, I may look into it tonight after I get out of work.

Runs better than it did last week at least, lol.
Probably a vacuum leak.

Re: Plans for Goldmember
I'm about 99% sure it's timing. It's gotta be only off by a tooth or two, because it's not hard to start, and it doesn't backfire or pop while running, just runs like garbage.
All vacuum lines are hooked up, and I even tried flashing my car back to the stock tune, then back to my FS tune.

Good to see you found the problem and got her running good. Now spin those coils down!

Front is where I want it, but the rear could come down another 1/2" to 3/4" before I'll be happy. Which means I'm either removing the adjusters, or cutting a spring (ideally don't want to do the latter) because the rear is set to full low right now.

Removing the adjusting cups on my ZX3 (KW's) got me very close to 1/2" lower. I agree, I would definitely do that before you take a coil out.

Re: Plans for Goldmember
Got new tabs plastic welded on the Mach's today, and installed them (sans running lights and turn signals for now) and drove it about 20 miles today. Lots of rubbing!

Re: Plans for Goldmember
How the hell are you rubbing on the EAPs? Have you never rolled your fenders?
Glad to see her up running and the Mach's look great.

Chris - My fenders aren't rolled at all. Never had a need to on my FRPP kit because I never rubbed.
Josh - Come up to the murder mitten and we can make that happen!

Re: Plans for Goldmember
Why would you buy a spoiler that looks almost identical to the one you already have? Leave what's well enough alone, and take care of getting your bumper painted and your other bodywrk done

Re: Plans for Goldmember
I dunno, I just like the look of the more square-style 05-07 spoiler, plus it wouldn't cost much more to have it painted along with everything since my buddy is doing the body work for me. Gonna remove the adjusters on Wednesday and see how it sits!

Re: Plans for Goldmember
Updates and stuff.
Most likely meeting Bob in Ann Arbor next weekend to pick up new wheels from him, as well as the fender roller so I can du werk. Also split the cost of a KD Torque Wrench with my dad that goes up to 250 ft lbs. so I can get my axle nuts torqued down. Still looking for a way to bring the rear down some more...only thing left is to remove the rubber isolators.

Re: Plans for Goldmember
You can cut the springs too Blake Real men cut their springs to go low.
Removing the isolators will only bring it down a half inch. I have pictures in my build thread that prove it.

I've been telling him this for like a month. He doesn't want to listen ... maybe because he's not a real man?NorCalFocus wrote:You can cut the springs too Blake Real men cut their springs to go low.

Re: Plans for Goldmember
So yeah It's been over a month. Car is STILL awaiting the bumpers to be painted (long story, don't ask). I have installed the Lamin-X on my headlights, and I have yellow Lamin-X to install on my SVT foglights. When I get the bumpers put back on, I've got to wire up the turn signals and running lights on the Mach's, and then find plugs so I can wire up the SVT foglights. Also picked up an ST Gauge Bezel, and Billet Aluminum HVAC knobs. Hopefully the car will be done in a week, two at max.

Yeah it will be, if he doesn't start soon, I'm going to go to his shop with a pitchfork and tell him what's up.
