Raf. Fucking amazing. One of my favorite cars on this site. Are those HRE wheels? Man you do nothing half-ass. Fan-fucking-tastic.

On a side note, thanks for all the help with my Volvo and for the help with the future car. ;) Raf is an OG and one of the most helpful and coolest cats on this site. The rest of you know who you are. I ask you all questions all the time.

I refinshed the calipers myself

Raf - Painted or powercoated? If painted, what kind? Do you have to rebuild the calipers when refinishing or can you just tape them off?

Nevermind, read a few pages back that you you were going to powdercoat them. Would you be willing to help a fellow member out and blast a caliper?

Fo shizzle, send them to me.

It's not a sand blaster but a glass bead blaster which is finer then sand but it strips everything ;)

PM me if you like..

After I installed the tranny, I noticed that the RPM sensor wasn't flush with the manual tranny but it was with the auto.

I looked at the gap between the auto flywheel and manual fywheel and they seem the same to my eyes. Can you guys check to see if you have a small gap like this on your car, everything lines up properly.

I was thinking maybe this is the issue some people encounter with failed starts or hard starting issues?

And I painted the subframe black :D

Any thoughts on this subject?

I have a 034 stand alone, the Ecu controls jack on my car, only a few inputs that are shared, RPM sensor, idle air control valve for cold starts and H2O temp sensor :lol:

I can see the stock ecu getting fed the rpm signal for the tach to work, but why the idle air signal? Doesn't the 034 have control of the motor for cold starts?

Yes it does Mark but the stock ECU does a fine job at it, so why mess with it.I have the connector for the 034 there, just not being used, I will address this prior to tuning.Raf
mine had a gap, and the car wouldn't start.....Aaron figured it out, and made it flush, set it down a little lower, and we were GTG.It's not supposed to be at an angle like that, that'll throw the reading off.
Thanks Pras, I will check it out if it doesn't fire up.by the way, Denny wants to chat with you in regards to your motor.Do you still have it?Raf
