Gotta do what you gotta do, with no garage, or heat, while your friends who have a garage are having a life.

Since its really nice out, I took the day off to work on the car. Installed the injectors and hooked up the Hydra, fired right up! Let it warm up and took it for a drive. City driving is smoother, as well as highway. Power delivery is more consistent and smooth, didn't hit the new 7,200 RPM rev limiter but she kept climbing. Felt a bit more pull on the downshift, but not that much.
I sent a datalog to FM, idle speed was a bit high even though the map shows a lower value. Maybe they'll make some tweaks.
Oh, I also cleaned the throttle body and mani a bit.

Sooooooo I realized that I had the winter setting (lower) on the tru-boost, that's why the car didn't really feel faster. Changed back to normal and adjusted a bit, she's definitively faster now (lol2) (shady)
+1 to both parts of this post.
That's also a risky place to put nuts/bolts on your car. Evan dropped stuff down the drain thing on my Miata and it's probably still down there.
You make it sound like I was just dropping all sorts of nuts, bolts, wrenches, small children down there. But yeah, if you drop anything down there you'll need to remove the fenders to inspect your frog arms. (sorry, Will...)
It was chaos. Nuts/bolts/children/animals/wrenches/bits/bobs/widgets were flying everywhere.
But yeah, it's OK. I'm sure it worked itself out!
Maybe one of these days Pablo can help me take the fender off since he is experienced at that.

Hey, the only things I have left is to actually put the wideband sensor on (I need a lift for that), a catback and the rear end (which will be done by a shop).
Kept working on it, tucked away all the wiring that was exposed and installed the AEM wideband gauge, just have to hook up the sensor. Couldn't do it with just a jack and stands, so I'll have to ask Marc later.
And another shot of the seat, put the top down when I went for a drive.
