Not much action on the FD front, thus far, but I did change the oil and filter on the truck. That was fun...
I've been real bored because I have the weekend off work, my woman is out of town the entire weekend as well, and just to make matters worse, the bulb in my 50" Sony blew on Thursday! I ordered a new one, but I won't have it until Friday.
It's a good TV, SXRD Series, 50", 1080p HD Hi-Def, enough inputs on the back to connect 5 of anything you want, etc etc, but I up here in this elevation I just don't think the bulbs last. It's blowing every 11 months now, on the dot. So, I'm probably going to upgrade to a fresh new 65" Panasonic plasma soon, haha!
Anyways, been thinking of stuff to do for the FD. One product I've heard a lot of good stuff about is the N2MB WOT Box, I know a lot of Speed guys here use it.
http://www.npcompleteperformance.com/wotboxIn case you don't know, it's basically a box that allows you to do a "no-lift shift"- keep your foot on the gas, push in the clutch, grab the next gear, let out the clutch, and go. The difference here is the N2MB box interrupts ignition timing (like a 2-step) when it senses you're WOT and have the clutch pedal depressed.
It's a nifty little box, but FD transmissions aren't known for the ability to take abuse, and the FD isn't listed as a compatible car. The biggest difference is the three coils for ignition (1 leading coil for both leading plugs, 2 trailing coils for each trailing plug on the FD), and the WOT Box only has 1 coil output wire, although I don't see why I couldn't splice that into all the coils. The problem there is the leading and trailing coils are usually running difference timing...
And I am still heavily considering doing the tan to black interior swap. I wouldn't need much, but I'm worried about getting the OEM Tan carpet out LOL. You really have to gut the interior to remove it.
The main reason it's appealing is my tan leather seats are in pretty rough shape right now, so I want to them re-covered anyways. If I do it, I might has well get them recovered in black leather and just do the interior swap, LOL.
