Car progress?
Well today when I was coming home for lunch, the car had no power, woulndt boost past 2psi, and fluttered like a mother ******.... All pipes were attched, all hoses, so I shut the car off and restarted it and then it worked like **** like it has been.... Gotta be a sensor or in the tune to happen and then go away like that. I dunno, I'm getting fed up..... Gonna torch this **********.... Going to the dealer tomorrow to see if it threw any codes, but there wasn't a cel.
Well after today I feel like Jerren lol. Friggin car runs like a bag of diarehha(sp?) a/f are messed again..stalls at every light at my a/f dips way too rich. some odd reason my low fuel came on when I had half a tank but even the guage showed empty. Stopped the car and started again and bam my gas is back but still runs like ****...I really don't Vince is helping me any on this tune.
And if its not fixed if anyone with a 2.2 wants EVERYTHING to s/c your car then your more then wlecome to buy it all from me...I'll even throw in a tune. I am going to turbo the son of a bitch and use a 07+ ECM

Nice call..... Dealer checked my car and it threw a p0236 code with is to do with boost pressure, which means it's something to do with the lower map sensor... I pulled it apart tonight and all the wires are fine and the sensor is secured the way it should be..... They erased the code to see if it would come back..... They even checked to make sure my car had the right program on it and it did.
Well The car works 100% better now....haha switched my sparkplugs to my stock 2.2 plugs and soldered+shrink tubed all in one connectored my TAC wires and now I have more boost, no bouncing idle and can go through a TH drive thru without stalling!! I like it now so no i am not selling it and buying a TC just yet
good to hear u got ur problems fixed up... Jerrnen sounds like you might be making some headway as well ... pray that code comes back then maybe... just maybe... GM will do something lol ...
Well a little update. My b-day gift from florence arrived today. Icon Airframe Claymore helmet with clear and tinted visor, black and red to match the fairings we orderd today. Fairings will be here in a few weeks then the bike has to go in and the gas tank has to be painted. Had to take my Puig windscreen off today and paint it since its a blue tint. Ran out of daylight so ill finish it tomorrow. I cleaned it, 3 coats of primer, 2 coats of black, few little spots are messed up so ill sand it down, apply 2 more black coats and 3-5 clear coats.

Fairings that are orderd

What the windscreen use to look like and no the fairing piece attached to it isnt mine, my buddy smoked a deer doing 80kmh.

And half way of being completed

Well i've been making some progress... Have the dash painted black, with black hvac and what not... Just need to get the steering wheel pieces off and do them.. Also in the process of ripping the pillars out to do in black.. Since i have the black on black seats, i think it'll look real clean with the complete black interior.
Also heard back from a shop that will redo my headliner in black.. think that'll be done this week!
