figured I would start a real thread, with the build, heroic fixes, and general shysterism.

looks like we are in for February, I think Dave is doing it also.

I need some help adding some tube to the cage and moving the seat back. Read: a bender, welder, and a driveway.

i built it at Bill's the first time, may take it back over there. I can probably mooch a bender if need be. Only need to make two bends, maybe.

you still need some tube?

Jackasic

yes, if you still have it.

Any thoughts on the best way to remove some welded tube? I was going to torch it off.

cage is done, thanks to Rhino, Seth, Danny, Rowdy, and Sharpe for their help. Just needs a muffler and an oil change and we are ready to go. Did I mention the cage is now purple, because it is just that awesome.

i have a magnaflow that could be donated to the cause. it is red with alto mud if that adds horsepower

i tried that sort of muffler, but it won't fit. I am just going to have rusty weld on a cherry bomb.

I skimmed through it, looks like a few pages of talking about doing it, and a few pages of wiring it up. I didn't catch if it was tuneable.

I think for your car a ecu that will let you do blended alpha-n and speed density would be the best way to go. That cam has some big time over lap, and being a 4 cylinder I'll bet a vacuum gauge bounces all over the place at idle, so 100% speed density is out of the question.

megasquirt 2 will do this

I own the VW stuff so it is easy and you just buy a chip and slap it in, not sure about the tuneablity. I am trying to keep it under the radar, which I think megasquirt would send off kaxons. what I am builfding motor wise is pretty standard, so I don't need a ton of tunablity. Check these guys out for chips: http://www.snstuning.com/

waste of money. if you are going to put a mail order chip I wouldn't bother swapping to efi anyway.

Jackasic

alright, guess I will do it myself ;)

See if they will sell you an unburned chip, and turn Flem loose on it. He will have Barf waggin his tail in no time!!!!

no need, the motor is a pretty standard combo, the chip is already set for it.

You need one in the front window that is written backwards (like they do for an ambulance) that says 'I bet you give great helmet'.

now I'm really out. spaceballs was gayer than a truck stop orgy, I think I was able to sit through more of napolean dynamite than that turd.
