      • Actually checked to see if I still had parasitic power draw on the headlight circuit after the B6 swap and surprisingly enough I don't have it. So somehow swapping the engines fixed that. :p
        Also noticed something the B6 ECU does something that the B3 ecu doesn't, when the fuse for the headlights is pulled, the charge light on the dash lights up.
        At least I think that is the ECU and not just some quirk with the alternator.

        I also put the intake resonator back on, and still can't figure out what else won't let the engine idle smoothly at 1k rpms and lower. Timing is now spot on, at least for the RPMs it is at now.

        Also I noticed allot more mini backfires after adjusting the timing, like when decelerating in gear. Also there is what feels like hesitation when starting off in first.

        What do you all think? Cleaning the IAC, and adjusting the TPS seemed to help, but still not where I want it.
        I swear there is no more vacuum leaks, but I still need to bottom out the idle adjustment screw just to get it to idle at anything below 1k rpms, and it sure as hell doesn't like it that low.
        Hell just by looking at it with my bare eyes it looks extremely slow at anything under 1k. Like slow enough to where I could probably count the camshaft revolutions.
        Has anyone had any discrepancies between their tach and a swapped engine?

                  • I have a cleaned split rear seat with blue striped fabric for sale. It has never been sat on since the covers were washed and put back on. Also have washed passenger seat covers for a headrest seat.

                      Have some good close up pics of the split rear seat with the blue striped covers? Price?

                        • I burnt some of my rear bumper lmao



                          I guess until I trim the bumper and put an exhaust tip on it, I should avoid 180km/h pulls on the highway haha
