@@Rainmanhvac I'm sorry I don't I didn't take any videos of that but if you have a specific question I might be able to answer

Ah, it IS you Doug. Yessir. So far everyone who has actually come to look at it wants me to put the engine back to stock. I guess I can't blame them... overkill for a ragtop. Still on the fence about the whole thing

Doug from Jersey?

Thanks, also got another hint about turning up the displacement on the binary tune which is something I never thought about. Those who have actually come to look at it have been scared enough to inquire about putting the engine back to stock, which, for me it would be painful. I get it though, most people just want a driver I guess.

It's barely been for sale for a week and already I'm discovering it's going to be a tough sell. $16k is too much for a car that isn't finished and dyno-ed. The real engine for it is an Edelbrock headed 306 (didn't have the budget at the time for the 347) and goes with the sale but is still sitting on a stand. Having second thoughts so I might try and concentrate on selling the other car. Something has to go and maybe it shouldn't be this one since I've had it almost 30 years now.... It is my first 'real' car

wish I could help, but don't quite follow... too bad there's not a way to post a picture?

Hey Rob, no bumper removal for solenoid bypass or modification. On the LP spyder it's located on the passenger side between the back of the airbox and the little rail just behind it. If you simply want it open all the time just pull the vacuum hose off each valve and plug the hoses. I didn't like that idea because then the valves would never get used and might eventually refuse to close if you or the next owner ever do hook them back up again. This way at least you can operate them once in a while to keep that from happening (and the neighbors happier if you come home late at night). I kept everything just as it is but added another solenoid (a simple vacuum diverter valve) inline that blocks vacuum all the time when activated. When not activated it's open so then it's controlled by the existing solenoid controlled then by the cars' computer which opens the valves above 3500 rpm. I stole/shared power to the solenoid from a nearby harness that runs to the rear brake light and spoiler motor. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick reply Mike. Yea that’s really helpful. I’ve actually got a Kline switch (no Kline exhaust unfortunately) but I just could not see how to access the solenoid without stripping the bumper. I’ve got a RHD car but guess the location will be the same, it’s only a couple of bolts to find out I guess! I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks again

@@MisterJohnWick I’ve got the Kline switch but still not installed sorry

Haha, thanks, still working on it actually.... see newer posts. Currently building a new Edelbrock headed 306 over the winter to install sometime in 2023

Yeah, I should do some updates with plans over the winter. The stacked (one heat exchanger on top of the other) didn't work well and was likely blocking some badly needed fresh air to cool the radiator. Now I mounted them across the bottom behind the foglights and got an instant improvement without even running any fans other than the electric radiator fan. Engine coolant gauge at second from bottom mark and never hits halfway.... before it was going over halfway and only used for short trips due to that fact. I relocated the 'reserve' tank for the intercooler so it would be higher than any other part of the system to eliminate air pockets. Yep, probably should do an update.

If this guy is getting on your nerves with a 4 minute video dont get near a Convertible top,takes a LOT of patience to install one and 9 times out of ten the first time (maybe the second too) will look like crap.

Thanks, moving on to next toy. It's for sale on Cargurus right now 2011 X6M w/ 38k miles. Deal now before I start removing things come April 1st (most buyers are not interested in the performance mods)

@@fortheLOVEofMODsMike ок

Thanks, I got those wheels maybe 12 years ago and never put them on. I thought they were discontinued because the name at the time was Sportmax but have since found out that they were bought out by XXR. I'm not sure how exactly the same, or not they are but the XXR 962 is visually the same and same sizes/offsets. They are the 'gunmetal'. Offsets will depend on your rear axle and brake setup.

Definitely not Autorotors. The new Blowzilla kits have the KB product, good thing.

Yes, no plans on selling it anytime at least this year or next

Dope and want to get a blow Zilla for my 95 gt kb said 6months they should be in reproduction again for like $3500 a kit

Nice. I wonder how long it's been since the last production run

thanks, sorry did not think to make a weight comparison. Rear fits great. Front needed 10mm spacer, those front 4 piston calipers are not 'normal'..... A or B profile face probably needs to be 'A' although many of the 'cheap' wheels don't address that aspect. Think of the front as having a Factory Big Brake Kit already on it.......................

What?😵‍💫

Yeah, that's not the problem... the problem is the drive design and you can't change that without a gamble I wasn't willing to take

Next video (I don't know how to edit) copy & paste ---- ua-cam.com/video/uGhL_nVaZ4A/v-deo.html

OK, looks like you can just click it

Haha, not quite..... not quiet either

@@fortheLOVEofMODsMike hahahaa ok thx

Is the valve change device actually the sound tuning kit?

Oh, you saw my facebook page...........

YES, been awhile since I touched that car..... tuning issues may be over my head and that rear wing is bothering me. I'm going to give it another try in the upcoming weeks now that the Lambo is 'done'........ Thanks for bringing it back to my attention (exclamation point) since that stopped working on my keyboard but yet I can still type a 1, so what's the deal with that??

@@fortheLOVEofMODsMike for your tuning issues take out the old efi computer and wiring harness. Get yourself the foxbody terminator x kit. Save yourself the headache with the old school tuning that you can't get perfect. I just put one in mine. Very simple to install and you can tune and adjust the car right.Comes with a hand held touchscreen and you can buy a USB cord for laptop for finer tuning. Look on Holley's website for it. I know Jegs has them in stock. It's worth the upgrade.
