Hey guys,
once again - the story continues and the project is alive
Last november i gave the car to a so-called specialist because of time- and motivation-reasons i thought it would be easier if a specialist would do all the things and then bring it back to me street legal and registered this march. but sadly that specialist wasn't really a specialist and the car only was standing around there for a long time. really sad about the lost time...
(
anyway my new schedule gives me a few more hours weekly for spending time on my car so the project re-begann a few weeks ago, i got the car out of "jail" where it was since november and got the new exhaust system mounted (this will be replaced by the tanabe/toda/sard system again after exhaust emission test is passed!!)
it's an new OEM EK4 catalytic converter, an complete used EK4 exhaust system and DC2 OEm header. i chose this setup because the EK4 cat is longer and better then the EK9 one and right now it's all about exhaust emissions
then i went for a pre-exhaust measurement at the other end of switzerland, looks like this there:
And: I passed the exhaust emission test, but sadly the CO-emissions where to high due to the long cold-start.
but more about this later...
In between i sourced a new garage for my baby in the same building as i live in, it's a long garage with space for two cars, so i moved in a lot of toolings and parts there and now can work on my baby every evening into late nights
also i got the augment hood lifters mounted, they're really great
also here a picture of the Feel's carbon mirror cover i mounted a few weeks ago:
also some new parts arrived here within the last time...
SSWorks japan Airflow-kit
should look like this when it's mounted:
Also i got a set of Luxer1 interieur LED lights, because the original lamp used to kill my battery somhow...
direclty mounted it of course
before
after
so - what's next?
tomorrow i'll get my car to zoatectuning where a famous ECU Specialist (malte from MKR tuning in Magdeburg / Germany) will have a look on that cold-start problem, and hopefully solve it
also when i prepared my car today i found some small things that i could do and will look nice, and also there should be a set of Vision / Technicasport low position seat rails in my mailbox in about 2-3 weeks.
so hopefully there's going on a bit more now and updates will come more frequent again
stay tuned my EK9 friends
