2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrLet's rewind. I did end up going to tex-fest. Just to show my face, that was a sudden impulse decision. It was a good road trip, the last road trip on the Korman chip. Saw some cool cars, played Uno with Eric (hitmanx) and pals. It was nice to see everyone, even though I was barely there.

2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrSo that happened, then the tuning process begin. So daily driving the car switching between tunes trying to dial it in. I also changed the diff, and unfortunately where my hangar mounted to was broken on this diff. So bailing wire has been holding it up for several months now. That's cool.

2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrThis was a shitty semester academically for me. I ain't that bright and Calc 2 and statics destroyed me and then in my easy class the professors were doing some clown stuff that shafted me. So I got lower grades then expected. We'll come back next semester.
2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrOne day during that I decided to flash my ecu on windows 10 and broke the chip. So that was neat. I had to install a windows virtual machine at school in the food court, I somehow got it with tunes flashed onto it.

2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrAfter that was finals, this was my hardest last test. Telling which one was mine. These damn beige econoboxes just all look the same.

Untitled by samleisey, on FlickrI really want my car to be a similar version of these.
2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrOnto the good ol changes. I dialed in the M1.0 idle as best as I could. I wanted smoother so out came the M1.3 parts. So one day at a big oil company where I intern, I naturally labeled my M1.3 super eta harness and re routed what needed to be re routed from super eta harness.
2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrI only had to extend the oil pressure switch areas. I just removed stuff from the loom and moved it where it needed to go. It plugged right in and fired up. I did have issues flashing miller with 179 tunes, but I eventually got it sorted.
2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrMessy but functional.
Then to test it out my M1.3 swap I went to a weird event, drift/autox at Houston Police Academy. It was essentially a rented out track with people hotlapping. It was hard to get clean laps in grip driving. However it did present a problem with M1.3, the adjuster nut for the crank sensor was loose. So it began to cut out at this event, I had to leave the event early because grandparents were coming into town. I did figure it out there though, when it finally slipped down when CPS was rubbing on the wheel it was supposed to be reading. The amazing thing was car was still running as they tried to grind themselves apart. I adjusted that to spec with a business card and we were back in action. The Houston Chronicle also came and wrote about us, so this old shitbox made the newspaper.

2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrFor my birthday, my girlfriend bought a Windshield from Sherman for me. Unfortunately...
2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrSo I instead traded that for truck carpet and some other tid bits
2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrWe also pulled this dash for my dads car while we were there:
2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrI also treated myself this Christmas to euro bumpers. Which has no revealed my Fubar tail panel. Don't wear a thong with an eyesore of an ass.

2020 update by samleisey, on FlickrThe front bumper situation, not sure what to do there. My frame rails are bent, so even if I do complete the pieces I have for a euro front its gonna be crooked. So front will remain the same most likely.
I also changed the fuel pump, I think it has sorted the hot start issue.
Plans for 2020:
Focus on school
Just drive this bitch, fix cheap little things. Clean up interior. Preserve exterior. Try not to go to any events, just for once save up some money and really focus in school.
SHAMELESS PLUG: PM if you want one $7 Shipped
