test results & more fixes . . .

The first test run last weekend went surprisingly good.
Nothing really blew up or no major fluid leaks.
But we did have some engine problems...

The engine was running great in the beginning
but began to misfire.
Thanks to Robert, we were able to pinpoint the problems
to the plugs after trying many different remedies.
This dude Robert knows 1JZ real well.
I'm glad he was there !

I put on a new upper radiator hose, because it was
swelling up pretty bad when it got hot !

I told you that I already bent the last turn-down off
the header. So, I decided to make a little better exhaust
this time. This is still temporary, but I'm slowly making
my way to the back of the car (^0^;)//
Hope this is enough clearance to get the car on the trailer
without breaking anything...

At the end of the test day, a small incident happened...
The heatshield protection on the vacuum hose near
the header caught on fire !!
But it was very very small and our staff Tom was able
to blow it out.

That's why I installed this Sparco fire extinguishier.
(Hope I never have to use it (^_^;) )

I'll be testing the car more this weekend again, so
I'm making mods to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
