idle recovered today just fine after a good while of learning. I think the problem was starting out hot when the idle was lower. When i started it cold the idle is higher anyway so it kept it running long enough to learn.
In other news...
YAY!
Got my eibach springs and whiteline RSB installed tonight. Took a while but nothing too terrible. Thanks again Chet for the "new" endlinks, most appreciated.
BIG THANKS to shawn (simulatedwood) for the help, he is the man. I am going to attempt to repay his kindness by helping him with his exedy twin install...and bringing beer for that one
No more Murlo lift kit crap now, I am pleased. The car feels pretty damn good now and sits just where I want it. The fender rolling worked perfect it seems as no rubbing yet. The eibachs are pretty stock feeling until you hit a good bump then they are stiff but not too terrible.
Overall very happy.
Sad note, my alignment is so far off it seems that you can tell the wear on the inside is already returning. My alignment is this friday to take care of that and I will swap tires in the front to the back. Nothing bad at all, but sucks that in only like 500 miles you can even tell. My guess is the multiple motor swaps screwing alignment up not the alignment itself.
Oh, also the spacer Shawn helped me put in for the new belt seems to have done the trick. After 500ish miles the belt looks perfect. So a plus there.
