        I installed a new throttle body in the vw bunny. Now it can accelerate past 30km/h. Also installed some h&r sport springs in my new to me 06 Jetta. Gives it some much needed attitude.

          That'd be a pretty crappy betting game. Results are in the video description.

          RPM output was slightly wrong on the dyno, accounting for that ended up around 133whp on a very conservative Mustang dyno. On a Disneyjet she should be north of 140whp. Daaaayyyyuuuuummm so much powerz!

          Gonna try to break 150whp on an internally stock motor over winter. BP5A intake cam, Haltech Elite 1500, and a Honduh intake manifold are happening.

                Ridiculously loud with at least three or four distinct resonance windows that make the car sound different each time? Yeah, pretty fun. I use the tone changes for shifting around town. The first really loud raspy area starts at 3400rpm.

                  Pretty much, although anything above cruise throttle application was loud, but it wasn't bad in the car and didn't drone. You could hear the VICS switchover point though.

                  You have a wideband on that thing I assume?

                    Nope. No wideband, no real oil pressure gauge, no real coolant temp gauge, no nothing. I have no idea what the car is actually doing. Don't care much.

                    This thing is loud ALL the time. It's over 100db in the cabin at highway cruising speeds.

                      gauges are for chumps (and people who actually care about their cars I guess)


                      I wonder how long I'll make it down here before selling the ZX2 for a Miata

                        I didn't know if i was going with a newer Megasquirt or a Haltech after i sold my Megasquirt/MTX-L combo for it, so i didn't want to spend the money twice.

                        If i go Haltech (where i'm leaning right now), i'll use the Racepak out of the Escort and run no other gauges. (And then cut the hell out of my dash because race carrrrrr)

                        If Megasquirt, i'll need MTX-L, and Accutech SMi oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp.

                          Daily driver, stock gauges are fine. Car I am spending money on though I want to see whats going on.

                            my 240 has a boost gauge and... nope, that's it.

                            it's getting a combo oil pressure/temp gauge when the oil cooler goes in though.

                              I'm gonna be too busy going fast like Ricky Bobby to want to look at gauges. I'll set up some warning lights and/or audibles.

                                In following measurements provided by a super great 240sx forum I bought some very expensive seat-belt bolts that are about 7cm too short. Still rocking the no seatbelt life for that.

                                Successfully managed to get the brake lights working proper and greased the steering column. Once I get the speed sensor swapped out and the backup lights hooked up it will be stupid close to road legal.
