    Somehow ive got this thing running Mafless. The lads on pcmhacking.net must have their heads cocked sideways going Huh?? As apparently ive done it weird Surprisingly its working really well however im not tuning using VE which apparently makes no sense, go figure whatever it runs it drives and is getting better and better.

    Can confirm it sounds good under load and terrifies ducks by looks of it.

    Ok, got my cert solution for the seats, I need to get the SRS sensor from an Executive as they dont have side airbags (you had to pay for that safety feature) ive already reprogrammed the dash to suit that then it wont be looking for those airbags. Hopefully thats as easy as it sounds the module is dirt cheap as no one wants them and enough of these are dead after been skid pigs im sure I'll find one easy as.

    Thought the paint colour looked familiar.

    Yeah its more than just a light it retriggers after 15 or so minutes and pops the warning message up on the dash screen and a chime. Its fixable but it involves coding or a small circuit to balance out the resistance and capacitance the SRS system expects im getting there with it just a bit more work then I was expecting seeing as others have just plugged seats in with nothing extra needed. Pretty sure when I go for a cert they'll spot anything thats not 100%. I'll throw some original vy seats in for a wof.

    Ok, finally after 3 years figured out why I have shitty IAC control out my genuine IAC valves (3 of the fucking things) turns out the all had undersized pintles so they weren't actual sitting on the seat just moving in and out of bore. For first time it now starts without throttle. Such a small thing has been an absolute prick to solve. Its feels weird the car having this control its basically like ive been driving it carbied all this time. Zero feedback to pcm its been me feathering throttle to make it do stuff.

    Ive recently started doing some LS PCM stuff as well this puts me into an entirely different world that has abundant support and systems well-developed and available. So far ive gone through on a P01 turned offVATS for a engine swap into a Holden 1 toner which apparently works perfectly. Ive started a NEW P59 pcm to run my Ecotec which runs a custom operating system with some pretty cool features........ ive actually reverse engineered back into my AC Delco Pcm the ability to run MAP, And have my own operating system to support this.

    Got under this thing backed off all the diff mount bolts hooked a lever hoist to a body mount and other to the diff cradle cranked it up as best I could manage and dragged diff over 10mm diff still isnt dead centre but now my back left wheel doesn't rub on inside tub. So i can now drive on the new wheels. Wasn't a problem till i fitted new tyres that have a rim protector type edge on them that sticks out quite a bit. When I cert I'll run 20mm spacers out back heaps of guard room to outside so will look a bit more flush as well. Back to Warrant o Fitness mode now turbos off non turbo tune flashed in which im trying to get behaviour near perfect before I switch to MAP so ive got something to base off. Turbo part of tune can basically be copy pasted in as it is happy on boost wideband is happy and conservative timing will get it down track with some room to optimize. If anyone has ideas on how I can get the airbag light to turn off using resistors and capacitors to get everything happy message me, i can read everything clear the codes but how the SRS works isnt quite what I was expecting and fighting me a bit. Stock seats is my backup plan.

    Looks like it has 2 black eyes and no teeth. Just need to pull turbo not a huge job but ran out of motivation this afternoon. Bit of thinking to do about an airbag light i have ive got the bits to sort it though I think and she's good to go. All the dragday prep sorted everything else for wof.

    WOF time lets undo all my hard work. And fit the new headlights. All the turbo related stuff on front of car off for a polish up replacement uncut crash bar to keep everyone happy.
  11. Muncie
    And both done. Razor blade to scrape yellow off 180 grit to get last of yellow off it was like these were stored on a chain smokers bookshelf. Then 400 grit through to 2000 in stages followed by autosoll then light cut car polish and wax. I'll clear these when paint the car, their not new condition but very tidy for age and beats paying a grand for a new set.
  12. Muncie
    One down so before and after Restored shit one next to unrestored good one.
  13. Muncie
    What they started out like, one thats sanded was in far worse condition than this one but can see yellowish tint and clowdiness.
  14. Muncie
    Yeah that stuff is magic but not an option with these as they had already been messed with. Acetone does work wonders though! May work with my old ones so will give those a going over before I sell or store them.

    The headlights have been a bit marginal since well it left factory if you fit LED's their amazing but get you pulled over. So here's my attempt at something in between for a 23 year old car. I scored these HSV headlights for next to nothing foggy and quite yellow turns out they had been clear coated at some stage and that had failed, I scraped that all off and hit them with 180 grit till no sign of yellow or stone chips remains ill start working down to 2000-3000 grit buff them within an inch of their life and re clear them and should have something that looks pretty good. I'll fill the park light notch in bumper when I paint. Getting there my daughter used all my sandpaper though on her car......
