that is where you or someone else goes into the computer or (brain) for your specific car and makes changes in the compouter to enhance performance or to fix problem areas.

KennyK (TGPilot) and Flybynite do tunes for our cars and if you dont have one get on - it will be a night and day difference!!!

**my "tune" is off now because of the 3500 UIM so the change of the air volume going into my cylinders needs to have my Air-fuel-ration changed to match it.
Ok i understand but how much does that cost,, and what steps i need to take ,, thanks for the input

Yes Chris bought, just got to finish paying for it and picking it up. That will be a rough day to see her go. I will miss looking out there and seeing her sit beside the GTP. But it is going to a good home.

Well my black 90 stopped running today. Ah it seemed to either been starved for fuel or the ignition module pooped out. Idk il pop my fuel pressure tester on after work and start there. If i get stumped il start a seperate thread.

Went to a yard today and scored a door lock bezel and a shifter handle. The other part I want, a steering wheel was trashed like mine though. Do any other years of these cars use our front grilles?

I've done the following to the Red TGP recently:

-Washed it

-Changed the oil

-finally finished removing a bit of residual rust from the battery tray area(today) and sprayed the battery tray with a flat black primer for now

-painted the intake plenum + front valve cover "aluminum" colored as they were both stained up. I cleaned them with several harsh cleaners and they didn't come out looking as good as I wanted them too. Nothing short of sanding it down or blasting it would have removed the staining, so I just went ahead and painted them.

-Stripped the paint/coating off the coolant bypass pipe, removed a bit of surface rust from it, and repainted it.

-cleaned up almost everything under the hood. I still need to do some more cleaning and I have plans to repaint a few more items and touch-up the red paint in several places where it's scratched up. I'll post a picture or two in the picture thread in just a few minutes...

Changed the transmission filter (which hadn't apparently been replaced... ever, because the seal was basically part of the aluminum. We needed a flat-head to get that out!), and today I'm replacing the radiator hoses to get rid of a leak and getting a valve cover breather.

Further down on the list are fixing a crimp in the steel pipe that feeds oil/water to the turbo (eek), a small hose near the heater line, and replacing the gaskets-turned-paper.

EDIT: Also bypassed the crimp with some more hosing and a cutter today.

ran my new cold air kit that i made. Ran a piece of the factory lex pipe off the turbo for the bend, then aa small piece of 2 1/2 in steel tubing, then a rubber adapter for the bigger piping, then a piece of 3 inch exhaust to the pasenger side fenderwell.(where factory air box hose ran) Finally mounted air filter behind grilles in the bumper. HUGE power increase. hope to have pics soon!
