Now it is just all that little stuff to chip away at.

Thanks guys! It definitely has little bugs to chip away at. Trip nav decided to smolder itself to death, right side headlights are super dim (guessing ground issue), headlight doors stopped working again, still needs alignment. But, it was nice to drive it again before the passing of another year.
Any updates? It sounds like you are using the stock TIII SBEC?
I have a 2.5L TIII I built for my '91 Spirit R/T. I plan to get it running this summer and break-in on the stock SBEC....but after that I would love to get a properly calibrated TIII SBEC for the 2.5L. Not sure where to go for that these days.
Awesome, glad to see someone is working on their stuff, mine is still sitting. Good news is, Pantina is getting really good now, lol.
What?????? :(Quote:

Only a few have built them, I'd call mine a success, if I would stop meddling with it, :pQuote:

Been a minute since I updated this ;) I got most of the bugs worked out, drilled my hybrid trans with the posi for the crank sensor, which then still didn't work because for some reason the pad was 7mm thicker than normal :( found an SRT4 sensor was long enough and could be made to work, so got all that reinstalled with a TU black plate clutch. New tires and brakes, and drove it 11 hrs each way to SDAC 30 and back. Ran 14.1@101 at Maple Grove Dragway. Head gasket started seeping a bit, replaced that, installed a new aluminum rad. DD'ed for a year or so, and then an injector driver died on me. Currently working on repairing that.
Appreciate the update 😎
Going to be lurking around again after all these years and would be nice to see the forums come Back to Life as l have always found it easier to negotiate than FB
Always great to see you post but it seems like the forums are pretty dead. Facebook is where the action is. :)Quote:

Sorry for the Jack!
Yeah, FB is an easy bad habit lol. I am on there a lot more than forums for sure. I can find old stuff on there but it's a pain, the forums are a better archive.Quote:

Crazy when I was digging back through the pages how many I remembered and wondering where they are now.....
I decided it wasn't worth repairing the 30 odd year old RT computer, and acquired a standalone engine management system for it. So I'll be installing that this summer sometime. Should wake it up quite a bit, from what I'm told. Probably drop my 95lb injectors in while I'm at it. Maybe I'll get the intercooler modified for better water flow also, or just get a better one.
What stand alone did you choose?
I got Stefan's old AEM EMS4 out of his TIII Turbo Z.Quote:

He said it woke his car up. Hoping for the same. I'd like to see it make 300whp on the stock turbo and 93 octane, before upgrading the turbo.Quote:
