thanks for the kind words everyone i also got the sound system working last night, sounds good i should be getting this thing on the road soon and work on the tune... cant wait to drive this thing again

Dang I thought we were racing to see who was running on standalone first....lol

ya and i won :lol:

So when will you be adding a turbo? :lol:

i may wait about 2 months to see how much faster i can get it to go N/A on the track (compair standalone to stock...) and im thinking ill do it after the westiva meet cause if there is some problems with my motor or trans the turbo WILL find them lol...

WOW 3" Intake tubing in a Festiva! Crazy!

Good Job on getting it started!

couldnt have done it with out you, thanks for the help

and im havine more problems with that dang com port on my PC (Piece of Crap lol...) still saying "com port in use"... we may have to look in to it later if you have time...

Mike will be about 600 miles closer to you on July 16th... come on up to Westiva 2011!

Holy Crap! Just mapquested Westiva. Only 2285 miles. One way. :shock:
Still, I'd love to make there, at least once.

Congrats on getting it started Mike !!! Keep us update.

Man, now I'm going to have to make a meet north of the border, just to take a peek.:mrgreen:

Nice progress, Mike! Maybe if I read through enough of these, they'll motivate me to get going on my own projects.

UPDATE!!!

BIG UPDATE!!!!!!

TOOK IT FOR THE FIRST DRIVE WITH THE NEW STANDALONE ECU!!!!! it was only up and down the drive way but still, it drove under its own power it still dosnt run perfect but it runs good for just a base map ment to just start the motor lol... my wideband has taken a dump so im gonna get a new one with all the new goodies in it so as soon as i get that ill be putting this thing on the street and tuning it only a few things left like wiring the rest of the radio and a few wires for gauges, then a good wash lol... (it has a years worth of sasquatch shop dust all over it, and a bunch of junk and dirt on the carpet...)

got a new intake from the junkyard, paid 20 bucks and it came with a very clean K&N filter with it (still not done under the hood, lots of little things to fix and make look good...)


allmost got the inside of it back together... (very dirty, i know...)




ecu behind the glove box...


see all the dust... not good lol...


best web site EVER!!!!


and a vid of how much better it runs now RC 550's and a base map FTW

I'd like to edit my previous post. I misspelled "now" as "not".

[sasquatch]

note to self, keep an eye on scott.....

[leapin]

but i dont feel like doing that cause no one will ever see it... if i catch anyone looking under my dash at a meet, they will be in for a wooping... :p

Oh I think you underestimate my sneakiness....

[sasquatch]

when you take apart the factory harness its even worse than what you see under my dash cause its all wraped up in tape.... its all in one big bundle and looks "nice"... i have taken out all the stuff that runs the motor and moved it to the passengers side of the car... if i spent the time and wraped it up with tape it would look just as good or better than factory, but i dont feel like doing that cause no one will ever see it... if i catch anyone looking under my dash at a meet, they will be in for a wooping... :p

[Safety Guy]

Still looks like a lot of wires to me! But I've never taken a dash off before.
