What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Was getting a bit more KR than I liked seeing and my fuel trims were getting off... added back in the corn... everything is happy again.

I replaced the number 4 cylinder ignition coil harness connector which was basically simple to replace being right in front.  :)

But currently trying to fix number 1 cylinder rear bank ignition coil connector which is a bit of a pita due to the lack of room by the firewall next to the oil Sep!  Z

BTW always take plenty of pics prior to removing any part from your vehicle....
 
A few days behind, but bought the SHO a hot German Redhead driveway mate to take all it's $ away.  It was originally bought as a parts car for the kid's car we are working on.  It will be losing some parts to the kids car, but the core of it is in such good shape the family has decided that the sky is the limit.
She will be taking a major visit to the Dr for a heart transplant and some freshening up of the legs.  We are gonna give this old lady a few new tricks that are gonna give those younger Coed's a run for their money.  She gonna take cougar to the next level with curves in all the right places that just get the blood pumping.

SHO is now fully off of the mod/tinker program.

Sky's the limit sounds about right LOL.  Congrats on the new ride.  Feel free to post in the Non Ecoboost Builds section about the progress, and of course join rennlist.com if you haven't already :D

Thanks SHOdded!

Yeah been on Rennlist since we bought the son's a few months back.  His is a '87 944 daily driver.  Joking aside these 944 are pretty darn affordable.  I mean what bonehead buys a 15yr old kid a porsche for his 1st car?  Needless to say he literally fell apart when he found it parked next to the house the day we bought it (without telling him).  Son's car was $1800, and I drove it home.  I have put over $1k into it in parts to do the "required" things to insure against turning the motor into a scrap pile and fixing misc things it needed to be a safe daily driver.  Not a bad investment at all honestly and these cars are actually pretty darn straightforward to work on.

I went to a JY to steal the fender off of the car pictured to use for my sons car, saw the body/chassis was solid but interior toast and waved $550 under their nose for whole car and it followed me home.  I considered 3.5 or 2.9 Eco a few times, but I have done the "never been done before" route before and want to do something there is history and kits for this time.  Target right now is LS swap.

I will def consider putting a thread up.  Chances are I will just go register and fire up my personal website again so I can keep a long detailed log on the build there like I did for my MGB conversion.
 
The 944 is definitely a great foundation for the project.  Tho I wish we saw a bit more of the 928 S4 too :D  Should be fun, exciting, and worthwhile!
 
Welp guys. Going out to gateway drag strip tomorrow and got the car all prepped and ready and race fuel in the can ready to go in. Fresh full synthetic oil change. And a mega low DA tomorrow (300-500) should hopefully get me a good time. It's either going to get a better time or break because the track should be prepped... Hopefully well.
 
I can more than certainly relate bud!  Hoping next time around mother nature will comply! Fingers crossed & Best of luck.  Z
 
Ha! If it was mother nature I wouldn't be so salty. Literally waited in line for four hours total last night due to shut downs every 3 cars plus they opened other lines and blended them into the original line so some people had a ten minute wait time and others like me had an hour forty five wait time. I was hungry too so I got especially angry. But the ride home on race fuel was fairly exciting that's for sure! LOL

Zero Runs (Nada) for me after a long 3 hr drive plus having to purchase a new helmet @ retail price!  Then while driving back the check engine light came on! Go figure.
It is what it is and just wasn't meant to happen. :(
On a positive note was able to meet up with Manu & the Mrs plus was able to p/up some VP Meth which was twice as nice. Z  :)

Ouch! Well shame we couldn't get in some runs. Was a cold night too. I was trying to hone in where traction was even dropped tire pressure and spun more... Go figure. If I had a couple more runs I figure I could had came up with a decent time, but can't complain too much about it... $30 to sit in my car for the whole event though.. Drove 2 hours there and 2 hours back. Got to play with some buddies on the way back so it wasn't a complete waste. Ride home was eventful and fun.
 
Who needs a truck, when you have a SHO boat.
Converted mine into a cargo ship today.  Glad I went back to stock height, or could not have done this.  Customer placed a big order and I did not feel like driving the suburban.

Spread them out a little to even the load.  Forty 20# bags.

Heading the the track tomorrow with Brad's new E30 tune.....should be interesting.
