the trash can

you know the 2 piece washer fluid resevoir?

pop the (upper to lower) hose off the upper resevoir fill tank through this (incedently a 2 litre dew cap fits inside the hose perfectly and fuctions well as a fillcap (hey at least he spent the $ he saved elsewhere )

then a reducer hose connection was maade to fit in the bottom outlet of the upper resevoir right stuffed into place and the hose runs to the rad fill cap

voila upper coolant resevoir
lower hidden washer bottle

not a great vid (sorry) but ya can hear what she sounds like while ve tuning on the highway yesterday cost 30$ in gas for tuning...dep on when his ass wakes up today and goes driving maybe he'll spend the same or more on gas today

that's with the stock exhaust?
It sounds like it's loud

2.5 dmh electric cutout with custom smashed to fuck motor thanks to speedbump mod (aka we switched it to a push/pull cable lol

Are you going to make a full exhaust and still use the cutout or are you trying to build an exhaust that you can DD with and handle the motor

keeping the cutout its going directly in the downpipe/Y aiming straight down

well atleast ya got video up, and i seen you had traction control off =)

the tc and brake control unit no longer exists on this car

i cut it up and used the baseplate of the unit and mounted the aem inj driver to it (look near the master cylinder/strut bucket)

all mods considered...not really.

well it has been ve only in all fairness (no maf) he was getting 25mpg with the vs and 4.0" on the whipple before the valvespring broke

well its gonna get worse!!! lol eric picked up a 99' 65k 3.71 geared 4t80e yesterday

gonna hit them slicks HARD!

Did the first 4t80 break? or did he feel it didn't pull hard enough?

4th started slipping... it was a 100$ trans from a beat to hell (though the body wasnt damaged/crushed so it wasnt there from a wreck!)) 97 aurora so it was 50/50 as to whether the trans was good...well used but good lol.

what sent it on its way was over two weeks of driving with the shift pattern reversed (while we were sorting out the trans math/etc)

literally it was comanding 1st gear and we were in 4th, 2nd was third gear etc
it was beat on hardcore before we finally figured out the issue of the shift solenoid activation states. (at least 50 WOT accelerations while in 4th gear and thats with me there...god knows how many times he beat on it with me not there lol

considering the abuse i'm not really suprised...it was kinda planned this way hence the 100$ Jyard 80e with no warranty... lotta r&D in this lol

so now we have a nice 99 low mile (65k) 80e from a deville with FV4 rpo (3.71) for 350$ plus 70$ for the 1 year warranty so about 450$ out the door.
this bugger should last a long time now that all the settings have been figured out for a while.

so you dont even have the HD tranny, you guys keep buying crap trannies???

what the hell, power is useless without something to deliver it
