Welcome to the LOC. Nice lookin ride. Yellow is a brave color!!! LOL!!! So what mods r u planning?

Was the cig. lighter used as a cig lighter? Sometimes the ashes and crud can short out the lighter unit. If not, then you may have to pull out the cig lighter and make sure that the heat from it didn't short out a wire before the fuse popped, or the short in the wire is what caused the fuse to pop.

The problem here is that pulling the steering wheel off is very tricky if your not the mechanical type, and don't have the proper tools. You need a steering wheel puller, and you have to know how to disconnect the air bag and remove it. Then you can get to where the issue is. It sounds to me like the steering wheel itself just needs to be cleaned and maybe adjusted and tightened. A piece of felt sounds like a temperary fix at best.

Here's my take on the SRT. For 450 bucks, you get the CAI, and the ECU piggyback chip which retunes the ECU for the intake. OR, you could get a CAI for about 200 bucks, then get your exhaust, header if your going to, and THEN get a chip tuned to account for the intake AND the exhaust for 3-400 bucks, which is only 150 bucks more at most, but then you come out with a better system than the SRT. But, if you don't wanna go thru the extra steps, then just get the SRT if HP is your only goal.

How much of the car are you repainting? Are you using base/clear? Acrylic? As for the body work, again it really depends on how much body work we are talking about and how you plan on going about it. Bondo and fiberglas? replacing sheet metal or just rehanging new body panels?

I don't know that nothing wrong with the oil equates to a blown head gasket. Actually, if you found some weird milky stuff in the oil, that would be the blown head gasket indicator. So you may have a valve issue, or a piston issue. If it turns out to be just replacing head gaskets, a few hundred bucks at most. Just about anything else will get much more expensive.

* This is the wrong thread for that post. LOL!!! ( Very good instructional video though. You should make that a sticky at the top of every forum in here, unless of course you were just aiming that at some one in particular????) Nap------> power

You know, I had a 69 Camaro that had so many gauges that I took 2 of them and we put them on the rear decklid near the center so you could see them in the rear view mirror!!!

Optomistically,Yeah, that's about right.

Yeah, I can't put a 3 gauge cluster in the dash tray as one, I don't have a tray there, I have the compartment, and two, the lid of the caompartment is going to be a second, flip up DVD screen that works off the AVIC. SO, I can't put it there. In the AC vent huh??, I'll have to contemplate that for awhile. I was thinking about makeing a custom fiberglass mold over the steering column. HHhhmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,

Well, I plan on actually starting on Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. I can pull the intake, exhaust and header off, tap the oil pan and run the lines. get the intercooler set up. And I'll have to make a custom housing for the boost gauge, and the PLX wideband monitor.( I'm still kinda debating where I want that stuff in the car. I wanna try to stay "stealth", but I need to be able to see them well. The PLX is black and rectangle, about an inch and half high, 4 inches wide. You know that useless space under the radio and in front of the shifter? I was thinking about putting in there. But I aslo have the gauge to figure out. HHmm, any suggestions anyone?) So when the weekend hits I'll be able to focus on just putting the turbo in and getting everything to fit right. Then refill the oil and start tuning.

I called ups today, I am scheduled a delivery for wednesday,( tommarrow). So, once that is in, I will have everything here accept the some non pertinent items. So I'll be able to start. It won't be this weekend, as I have other plans. ( Family stuff.) So I'll be fighting for use of the shop the weekend after that, then a day or two for final tuning and so fourth. Later this week or the beginning of the next week I'll get some shots of our shop for everyone to see where I'm going to be working on my baby. I'll even take a few of the "work" van I have to drive while the baby is on the rack. I know my thread has been sort of quiet lately. Waiting is such a dull time.

If that's the case with this sensor, then I would just consider getting a dummy O2 sensor. basically it's a fake sensor that tells the ECU everything is good so you don't keep getting the cel, or light on the dash. And they are cheap. You can get them at any performance import parts place.

Just take your monitor and turn it on its left side.
