Dang! very nice.

Frizzle Fry · 06-08-2018, 09:43 AM

Thanks guys! I’ve been burning the midnight oil trying to get this baby road worthy. So many little details... but last night (at midnight) I drove it!!! No one was up to take a vid, but here it is just before the test drive:

It's good to see you working on it again. I bet it feels good to have it running and drivable after all this time.

ejn74 · 06-10-2018, 12:52 PM

Wow!! Looks Very Cool Man!

Russell Ashley · 06-10-2018, 02:21 PM

That thing is beautiful.

**Clyde65** · 06-10-2018, 10:16 PM

Wow!

**Rickysnickers** · 06-10-2018, 11:13 PM

You've done a fantastic job!

Frizzle Fry · 06-13-2018, 08:57 PM

Thanks, everyone! It's so good to see it back in the ground and coming together.

I have some bad news though. After taking it around the neighborhood a couple times and on one slightly longer excursion to drop my son off at the light rail station I was ready to film it driving. My wife filmed the startup and it barely started, idled rough, then died

I've spent the last few days troubleshooting it in my spare time. I'm convinced something went bad in the AEM EMS (1052). Unfortunately, it's so old that AEM doesn't support it anymore. So I ordered up their latest and greatest AEM Infinity EMS with F20C wiring harness. It'll be here tomorrow. Fingers crossed..

Frizzle Fry · 06-14-2018, 06:08 PM

We’re back in action with a new AEM Infinity! The issue was not the ecu though �� The plugs were fouled. Probably from the old ecu just not being tuned.. Scheduling a tune ASAP

Frizzle Fry · 06-29-2018, 10:05 AM

She’s on the road boys and girls! Been to Portland Cars and Coffee twice now!! Couldn’t be happier with the performance and it’s not even tuned yet!

HUGE Congrats are in order!! I can't say enough nice things about how great the car looks. Keep us posted as you get it tuned and perhaps we can get a video one day when you take it around the Nurburgring.

**Palf70Step** · 06-29-2018, 05:55 PM

Very nice! Excellent work.

Is the Burb/Tahoe back on the list for completion?

ajgriffin · 06-29-2018, 09:31 PM
