small details end of 2009...

some small details to update end of 2009...

had some problems with my car cold start... throttle body ISC problem i guess... coolant line inside TB stuck with rust... thanks for cipan's advice for additional FICD to solve my problem...



connection is rather simple... the concept is similar with using FICD to control aircond idle rpm, leaking air into the intake... but the wiring is a little bit different... i tap the wiring to 12v DC source inside cabin with an independent switch to control it... so whenever i do coldstart, i jz switch on the FICD... this will automatically increase the revs and stabilizes the idle rpm without having the engine choking to death... lolz...


i also swapped my ProRallye plug cables to OEM items from BOUGICORD... revs feels lighter now... stock plug cables are still the best... given that the connectors are not contaminated with rust...




the rear antiroll bar is also in contact with the exhaust piping whenever the suspension travels up and down... hence i wrapped it with some sponge (in this case some leftover SAMCO hose)....




right rear brake hose also brushes against the inner metal fender... slicing it bit by bit, causing brake malfunction like what i experienced previously.... fast solution, cut some garden hose and wrap it around the brake hose to act as a shield...




also so-called secured my throttle pedal in place, hardcore style... cable tie and duct tape is really useful... lolz... now can do practice proper heel-n-toe braking adi...
