Interesting. I'm glad you're still enjoying the car.

Hit the dyno with the new fuel system! 26psi.
Spent 8 hours straight on the dyno. We need a catch can for the crank case now, VTA = spray oil

We noticed what was likely spark blowout at close to 30psi, so we'll tighten the plug gap and see what changes someday. This is far more than enough for now

Updatesssss!!

Went for a cruise with my friend in his new GR86.
So fun, that car is ideal from factory. Nothing really new with mine, but some treats coming for it soon!!!

I have new tires coming, going to run Azenis RT660 in 275/40. Tired of it spinning!
Also trying to get 3.58 gears from Weir, and I bought an os giken clutch type diff.

I realized after driving the GR86 that I wanted just a little more resonance control so I've torn apart the interior and am adding some Kilmat to the trunk, doors, rear seat bins, and roof.
Also bought a little shark fin because my antenna is perma bent and is ugly!!!

how did the Kilmat go... Was it worth the effort ?

Also those rear end changes should make a good difference

Not sure yet, will probably be a week or two minimum before I'm able to drive it post-kilmat.
From knocking on the panels, I can tell you there's a substantial difference, especially the roof and trunk. What that translates to in-cabin .... we'll see!

I really didn't want to spend for the diff but I really miss how well a clutch type LSD works, especially in the snow

My god, mod bug. Just ordered the Fullblown intake manifold. also just bought a 1988 Volvo 240, going to do some restoration and give it to my nephew as his first car.

Japanrot red E46 325xi. The guy knew me and let me take the car home to look over it. But, the floor had rusted out where the jack points go, and all 4 corners were trash. I shined up his headlights as a thank you for letting me take it home to check it out.
So hard to bring it back, but I know better.

So funny, I ended up buying this car in MUCH worse shape, as it sat outside, undriven after these photos were taken since he wasn't sure what to do with it. -_-

Shrader back seat delete finally installed, and a new gauge cluster cover, hoping the alcantara will reflect less in the windshield than the factory plastic piece.

The back seat delete is seriously obnoxious to install. Pinning the seat parts to the bracket is patience testing, I ended up drilling the holes on the seat side a little bigger because it was near impossible to push the pins through.

Please update if the gauge hood works!

Will do! When the rain/snow stops I'll take it out to see. I certainly don't see how it could be worse. I was planning on flocking mine (maybe I will still) but this is a little nicer looking and definitely will be easier to clean

This piece from FullBlown showed up!!!! Going to be a nice little winter project. Thinking about re-routing coolant lines. Cleaning up vacuum lines, etc. Will see what kind of opportunities this new manifold gives, I;ll take as much advantage as I can!

Hoping to do dyno pulls before/after with no changes between to add actual data to this behemoth that feels like it went totally ignored.
