thanx guys..

Nice,  

Wanna help me do mine? And have you got any pics of the outside?

How many beers is it worth? :P its not that difficult but it takes a bit of time and effort. Cost is negligible which is the best part ;) Outside? :embarassed:, it kind of needs the door repainted and a couple of other things. A few months ago it was looking really nice.

What did you use to get both side of the rocker covers silver and shiny?

The rocker covers (and same for the throttle intake) were taken off, sanded, and polished, sanded and polished, etc until they come up all shiny. There is a thread somewhere on it. Painting is the easy part. I'd do the plenum as well, but the work involved.. mb one day.

Looks quite nice Predator, infact you did it the same colour as what i did to mine about 6mths ago when i was bored 1 sunday afternoon. Believe it or not I even bought some more paint today so i could spray some more parts tomorrow night.

I bought maroon (as close to the factory Wine Red colour as I could get) to spray the rocker covers and black to spray any visible suspensiion or underbody parts. So much fun can be had with $25 worth of spray paint hehe

Heres the pics that I took of mine ages ago:

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
