Default It's Alive!

After fixing the fuel plumbing last night and checking some things over, I couldn't resist seeing if the car would start.

It started fine and no trouble codes (amazingly enough)!

The first time, I ran it for less than a minute and found out how fast the headers heat up on this thing. Even burning my fingerprints off couldn't wreck my day after hearing this thing run for the first time.



Obviously I still have a lot of work to do but I'm getting close:

I need to clean up the wiring.
Put in my new brain box for the VHX gauges (coming today) and hope they work now.
Send my PCM back for some reprogramming based on the AC setup I'm using and because the reverse lockout isn't functioning properly through the PCM.
Figure out why the P/S is leaking at the box.
Get the front end aligned.

After that, it should be on the road and officially be a "Running/Driving Project".

As we all know, there are many many things to do in the driving project stage and most cars never leave that stage either.
