This is the state of progress since my March check-in.
It's a bit spammy so it's behind the jump...
- Digital Dash - WIN!
- Replaced the AIM MXS with an MXL2
- This was basically a plug-n-play change.
- The transflective MXL2 readable in all light conditions.
- PCV and Breather - WIN!
- I added a second catch-can to the car for the valve cover breather
- PCV and breather now each have their own catch can.
- After ~500 miles only .5 oz of fluid came out of the PCV catch can.
- After ~500 miles the breather catch can is dry and I may ditch it for a simple pod filter.
- Throttle Pedal Feel - Win!
- I added a light duty spring to the throttle pedal, snugged up the lock nut gently.
- Throttle Return Spring - Win!
- Added a helper spring to the throttle on the ITBs.
- This has helped to tame the +2K idle issue.
- Brake Reservoir - Draw!
- Still leaking from the cap a very tiny amount.
- Maybe I'll need to see about printing up a new, thicker gasket or something?
- Suspension Setup - Win!
- Paid a pro race shop to do a full custom alignment.
- It was expensive because of rear shims. the result was worth the price of admission.
- Tow Points - Delay of Game!
- Haven't worked on this, yet.
- Intercom Setup - Draw!
- I bought Sena TufFTalk headset
- Built a DIY headset that worked alright but wasn't 100% great, may revisit later.
- Serpentine Belt - Win!
- Faced ~2.5mm off the ATR idler pulley bushing, got the belt alignment on the pulleys correct.
- Not worried about the belt wearing prematurely or jump off now.
- Bought a mini-lathe for this job. (And other things.)
