I started a restoration thread for theYellow 75
And the New car thread when I bought the white 74. But since the yellow project has been put on hold, I guess I need a white 74 restoration thread, So here we go... Here are some pictures of the car when I first bought it last November. At least the lights all work! That doesn't look good The first month it spent on jackstands while I worked on the engine and brakes to get it driveable and able to be registered. Put in some new used seats, a dash mat, some carpet pieces and floor mats, a stereo and speakers, a new steering wheel, and fixed the odometer. After months of driving/working/driving/working, replaced the AAR - twice, the MPS - 3 times, decel valve -once, McMark adjusted my valves, sealed the tranny, replaced the cracked windshield, and drilled/taped and plugged 3 leaking galley plugs, that was a long day, ya McMark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . Well I finally got it looking and running fairly well, been driving the piss out of it, almost 8K miles since december. Drove it to WCR (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) My car on Laguna Seca Drove it in an autocross school, and two AX races. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) But now it's time for big changes, I had built (McMark) this 2056 for the yellow car. And it's been sitting on my workbench since December waiting for the yellow car to be ready. The yellow car's going to be a while..... So I decided to put it in the white car instead, but not only that, the D-jet system on the car now has been a pain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) to sort out and its taken 3 complete systems to finally get it running this good, still needs a better MPS. So I pulled the trigger and bought a crankfire-Microsquirt FI system from McMark at Original Customs. Here's part of it No more distributor, no more obsolete FI parts, and tuning with my laptop how cool is that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thats almost caught up....more to come Jeff |

The zip file I posted should extract to an msq file. You can open it with tunerstudio. I would post links but I am on my iPhone -- google it, the company who makes the software is efi analytics. The free version will get you started but I highly recommend upgrading to the paid version so you can use auto tune.
I am no ms expert but I know more than nothing, feel free to pm me questions or post them here and I'll do my best! |
