  • Got out and enjoyed some partly cloudy weather.  Wish I had more time to mess around with the shots, but this was my favorite one out of the bunch!

Straightening things up in the garage will be much easier! It took me 30 minutes to find my hammer the other day, asked the missus and my wish was granted!

Spare cylinder heads and the aussie/holden intake manifold are shipped off getting worked over.

Finalizing the spec on a single turbo setup, should make things interesting in a year or so...

While painting some wood stuff in the garage, I sticker-bombed my tool chest. I felt like I was in elementary school again.

Got the BLS projectors finished after some fine tuning and me fixing one of my screwups. My camera doesn't know WTF to do in auto with the lights like this, and I didn't have time to fart around with the settings...

Light output looks great. What temp HIDs you running?

  • Author

6000K in the projectors, the HID fogs are still 8000K, will change those out at some point...


It is great having that output.

My Honda had 6000Ks left in them from it's past owner...I forgot how awesome they are compared to halogens.

While waiting on other things, I replaced a few items. Both the ICM and coils were looking worse for wear and the car had started to stumble a bit after idling in the heat. Figured with my next step in the build, I'd just eliminate that issue right now with new ignition equipment.

Installed a new ICM and GTP/SSEI coils. The SSEI coils are ACDELCO Part # D576.

Also replaced my aging O2 sensors with some Denso units as I started getting a code thrown for inefficiency issues. Come to find out, my band clamps had worked loose a little and was letting air into the stream. Will have to make a note to myself to tighten them during each oil change interval.

Took it for a drive, but couldn't get spirited as there were literally police everywhere I looked! I can sense a bit smoother increase in the revs, but we'll see when I take it for a drive tomorrow and will do some tuning/datalogging on top of that.

I love seeing the updates for this. What's the difference between the coils for the GTP (I'm guessing the L67 engine) and the normal L38 coils?

^More power output by the GTP coils supposedly.

Went to Coffee & Cars today with my daughter in tow. She had fun, just a day past 1 year old and looking to be a car nut :)
