FINALLY rejetted my Weber correctly. I've been lazy and haven't gotten around to it.

What a difference. Hopefully my 30MPG will go up.. that's been fairly annoying. :p



In other news, buying a set of Enkei knockoffs (I think, anyway) tomorrow, 5-spoke/dual pattern (4x114.3 + 4x100) with 175-70-13 Cooper winter tires on them (supposedly 80% tread..). I think the Sprint will be pleased.

Good luck with the rejet. How about visiting the Weber tuning thread and let us know what engine you have and the jets you ended up with, also your results after you have a little time on the new carb.

Got my 3 wire Denso heated o2 sensor installed today
Along with the "add a circuit"

Car is much more responsive at lower rpm and part throttle driving now.

Dropped the subframe on my festiva and removed whats left of the slushbox and old heater hoses. Next is dropping the pedals so I can replace them with 5 speed pedals.

Sent from the trash can.

Pulled the auto out if my aspie & found more broken casing than just a lil hole under the cv joint. After taking the TQ out we can see the spider gears thru a finger length gash. Now to source a cheap replacement. *sigh*

[getnpsi]

Battery cables. I did the easy one and not the positive one. Positive got cleaned up and a new terminal for now. Havent decided to do a relocate yet. Bought new power mirror switch, added black mx3 window cranks that seemed fresh enough, eyeballed ford contour console but no festivas at yard to test fit as in my interor topic i posted.

[TorqueEffect]

Cut out the rest of the rust on the passenger side wheel arch.

Letting the dremel cool down a bit before I prepare it for the fiberglass patch. (That $20 Greatneck brand rotary tool/dremel I bought from Autozone is built really well for it being $20)

[Team Lightning]

In the last 3 days I've been getting ready for Madness! I installed my FMS springs on silver lightning (peewee), Fixed a sticky door lock, Couldn't unlock or lock it from the inside, changed struts on the back, Danged stuck bolt on the bottom of the struts. Rolled the fender lips on the back due to contact with the tires. More to come next week and I fixed the idle issue on my Dakota, I had to replace the IAC on it.

[rmoltis]

There is always a cheaper alternative.
I chose dynamat and I got 72sq ft for $350.
It was the lowest price I could find online at the time.

I just now found the same kit for $251 here

Shops wanted upwards of $1000+ for labor and material to do the work
So $350 to do it myself was a steal.

But I had enough to do two layers on the doors body around the rear seats and trunk and hatch.
And one solid layer on the trunk floor and floor beneath the rear seats.
And the firewall in the engine bay.

First car I've used it on and I've been super impressed always at what a huge improvement it makes in sound quality/noise+rattle reduction.

My last aspire with no sound deadening rattled.
And on the freeway was so noisy inside I could barely hear my music
Even with component speakers a sub and four channel amp.
But on this aspire its night and day difference.

I highly...highly recommend this to anyone chasing good sound quality.
It really is as impressive as everyone makes it out to be when used throughout the whole vehicle.
