Hey Redz, I see you've got the GK dead pedal in your tib. Looks awesome. I just picked one up to go with my GK pedals, and it looks like I'm gonna have to mod it. How did you install it, did you have to cut it down at all?


So I picked up the Gk pedal, as well as:

NGK Iridium plugs
PRD purple wrap plug wires
Synthetic oil change
Driver's side wiper arm to repaint

and Im waiting to hear back from a guy about struts and lowering springs. Yes, I will finally lower my car, and its gonna be a 2" drop. I never thought Id see the day.

I also started porting/polishing my head but havent gotten that far due to school....


and I finally fixed my sunglasses holder, got a new one from teh junkyard and finally the door lights work again...


and I think thats it for now. Gotta start bodywork soon.

This month so far I've had the car repaired from the damage at the rear. I repainted the GT Wing uprights and hatch mounts gloss black from the dull black powdercoat, the holes in the middle of the hatch for the original spoiler have been filled, I've also debaged the rear bumper of the 'Hyundai Coupe FX' decals.



Engine wise I have removed the Intake resonators, love the sound at WOT. I'm also going to buy PSC's Stage 2 4-1 Headers with mandrel bent engine pipe and flex pipe, I've got a nasty hole in the current engine pipe that sounds absolutly horrible.

RedZ, thanks for the tip on the plugs, i thought it was something like that, but wasn't exactly sure...
Instead of making new posts of the interesting or helpful information, I was thinking of making another post at the end of each interesting or useful thread with a bunch of search keywords. That way when people search for stuff, those specific posts will show up. There's a lot of information out there that doesn't show up when you search, simply because it doesn't have the right words in it, and it can get frustrating for the newbie searchers... Yeah, I'd be bumping a ton of really old threads, but we'd simply lock them or let them die again.
But I'm way OT here, PM me if this sounds like something we'd be interested in having done, I'd be up for it.

This weekend seemed to be the time to get PRDs! cool.gif Didn't get a chance to install mine tonight, either tomorrow or Monday mad.gif

And I do like this WDYMTW thread thing, but I might suggest having it as a WDYMTM (what did you mod this month). It's been around a month since the last thread, and I really doubt people are modding something new every week. The advantage of a weekend thread would be shorter posts, but they might get kinda repetitive after awhile. So we do need some sort of thread, frequency of it is up for debate...


Edit:
Aust_RD, that spoiler is illegal, it's an air traffic hazard!!

Over the past couple weekends I did...

SAFC II
OBX 4-2-1 headers
magnaflow hi flow cat
O2 sensor extentions
oil change
Seafoam via vaccum line

Thats about it...

Waiting to get installed are
OBX Adjustable cam spocket and OBX underdrive/overdrive pullies


saving more money for

BBTB, wideband, lowering springs/shocks, 1.8L intake cam

I got mine installed tonight! I dremeled out the inside of the little clips to fit the wires and now they fit perfectly. I did a quick clean of the engine bay, didn't have time to really detail it.

The PRD's made a noticable difference, but the stock wires have been on there since it was new and I think they were going bad. I get better throttle response and smoother idle. I see why everyone likes these now, lol.





Now I need to get blue hoses to match, anyone have any recommendations on where to get some?

I think it's 185 shipped for the 4 of them, but the rear also comes with a part that goes OVER the center hump. They fit PERFECTLY, have rubber edging, and I'm telling you, are the nicest ones I've EVER seen.

It's actually really REALLY easy. I thought I did a DIY on it, but maybe not.

1. Get some hot water going in the sink. (I'm not kidding.)
2. Soak it in the hot water for a minute to make the plastic soft and pliable
3. On the back of the dead pedal, you'll see 2 plastic cylinders, you need to cut down the LENGTH of these so you can break them or cut them off. Cut both of them off, not all the way down, just use some judgement, but I'd say about 80% off.
4. Remove the plastic runner next to the door sill.
5. Remove the screws that hold the drivers side fuse box cover in place.
6. Get a sharp ass knife and cut off the eyelet for the screw that goes into the floorboard.
7. Slide the slotted end of the new deadpedal on that ridge of the fuse box cover panel so it fits in place.
8. Re assemble the fusebox cover in the car.
9. Use a stainless self tapping screw to go through the mounting hole on the new dead pedal into the floorboard.
10. Replace parts.

That's it.

Hey, that's a hell of an idea. Seriously. I tell you what. PM me about it when you are ready. Maybe we'll make you a moderator for a short time so you can just edit the last post in the threads with the keywords, that way they don't get bumped up.

Ehh, it's only been nearly a month because I was gone at Nopi for one weekend, and forgot about it the next. I wanted to start this to try to get folks motivated to do some small stuff on their cars, when they see how much some of us do on them in a weekend.

We'll give it a run for a bit, see how it goes.

Perty. Samco Sport hoses.

I installed strobes in my clear corners, no pix yet. I rigged them to have three settings, On, On with alarm activation, or off. I did a really good job installing. It could have been a 15 minute project. The way I installed them it took about 5 hours. You cannot see any wires.

I installed a better power relay to control the 110V power under my passenger seat. I thought my origonal job was somewhat of an eyesore, so I chopped all the soldered wires, crimped new ends on and hooked up a new relay.

I made my engine bay pretty too.

Blue Hose
Blue Couplers
Blue Wire loom
Blue Zip ties
New hose clamps.
Better battery terminations




I've got other projects I'm working on as well, but I'll announce more things as I complete them.

I re-worked my feed line for my turbo, i drilled and then tapped out the stripped bolt that was in the head where everyone else feeds their oil from, and i tapped it. While i was removing the brass fitting from the oil pressure sensor it broke off in the block, luckily i got it out within 5 minutes with an easy out.

Now the oil pressure sensor is back to its stock location unmolested, and i have nice low pressure oil going to the turbo.

Started her up with no oil leaks, which turbo guys know is a blessing

Also i put some new Mobil 1 in her.

tomarrow im going to tighten up an exhaust leak by the wastegate and take her for a spin, feel's good to have her back fing02.gif
