Lightbulb SHES OUT!!! No more sleeping with the flowers for my 944!

Finished up today.. and im glad to say.. it drove out of the greenhouse on its own power!

Heres where itw as and what it looked like

Greenhouse

Heres it now, after a brief turtle wax!





Didnt get the dash trim yet, but its coming... anyway, i restiched the steering wheel myself..


My stereo is done.. these Boston's are amazing (fronts are boston acoustics 746 4x6 plate speakers, and rears are boston rx97 6x9 3 ways)
Will eventually get a sub, but these 6x9's dont even need it... im surprised how well the pit below the speakers in this car works as a box.. Dad helped me make a custom wood piece for each well to hold the speaker and make there no longer be a pit..



Well im excited. Still havent figured out my running problem. The one where over 4000 rpm or so if you floor it, it cuts out completely, but if i drive 3 quarter throttle it feels great. so im happy anyway! And my speedometer works finally so thats cool. rear kyb shocks feel great considering my other ones were blown...

Well enjoy! Now to get it insured this week. New englanders.. PRAY there is no snow these next couple days like they are predicting

I checked the tps today. had a spare too. but the voltage readings are all the same on both of them. just as the manual says to check it. so it should be working fine. maybe the tracks or whtaever in the AFM?

"I checked the tps today. had a spare too. but the voltage readings are all the same on both of them. just as the manual says to check it. so it should be working fine. maybe the tracks or whtaever in the AFM?"

Did you check the actual actuation point of the TPS? If it's already "clicked over" at idle it's maladjusted. If it thinks it's at quarter throttle at idle, then it won't read past 3/4's throttle and cut out. Just a thought.

"Have the shocks not settled? Seems to be a bit high in the rear......."

If he just finished it, they wont be settled until tomorrow.
