Taking a break from the garage for a moment, so I thought I would show my parts-whoring side to further explain why my car may look extremely gutted and ghetto at the Tuning Sesh'....









Pic 1 my S13 lip and Shine foresight replica front fenders. Still need sides, and to figure out what if anything is going to happen with the rear bumper
Pic 2 my progress on black vert interior parts in very good or better condition
Pic 3 my intercooler pump showed up yesterday. Yay!
Pic 4 What's that? No, it couldn't be a full set of uber-rare SpeedMachinePerformance carbon fiber interior pieces, could it??

Nice parts! You've got a lot of work ahead of you though, get those suckas installed already!

Looks like verts may outnumber the other models at this session

Damn, looks like 1/3 of the pile of **** I need to put back in my vert.
If I make it to this tuning session none of that **** will probably be installed back in the car yet.

__________________________________________________ ______________

Everyone needs to make a checklist before Steve Kan arrives. This is what he said in an earlier post.

"Here're some items to inspect/replace before the dyno. New plugs (less than 1k miiles), new fuel filter (less than 5k miles), inspect spark plug wires, oil change, full tank of whatever gas you normally run, inspect tires (no nails or anything that can fly out during the dyno), inspect coolant fluid (change if necessary), clean air filter, put all the mods in that you plan to run before coming to the dyno (I don't think there'll be enough time to install them on the same day)."


If you want to be added to the list, please let me know asap.

I've been working pretty steadily on the car over the last few days. Money is my only concern now. After I finish plumbing, I probably won't be able to buy gauges before the tune, which sucks. I still really want to try and get either a wideband A/F or EGT gauge before the tune. At least I've got an old autometer boost gauge laying around. Should be accurate within a few PSI...

They should be able to read what they need to tune your car and then you can get the meters!

I just want to sit in someone's FD to know if I even fit. I can stop wanting one if I know I'm too big to be comfortable in the driver's seat.

How big are you? I can fit in an any gen RX-7. The most comfortable was the FD, best view was the FB.

I'm almost 6'3" and weigh about 190. I have fairly long legs. My buddy had an FD roller briefly, which I tried sitting in. My knees were hitting the dash. When he sold the car almost immediately after getting it, he found the dash wasn't bolted in tight and was hanging down off the firewall. I never got a 2nd chance to see if I actually fit comfortably. I feel like my vert has more room than my TII did in the driver's seat for someone of my stature, with head clearance being similar. I haven't been in an FB's driver seat in 9 years, so I don't remember well enough to compare. My FB's seats are laying in it's hatch
