Changed out my spark plugs.  Same one, AC Delco 41-108s  Gapped them to .035.  They were all dead on at .032.
I was having a bit of a hesitation at high RPMs under engine load *cough*cough*tripledigitspeeds*cough*cough*

Old plugs were not too bad, but looked partially fouled.   Im going to have to modify the way I shift when I drive to work.  It's only a 3.6 mile commute, so I am going to have to hold onto gears longer otherwise I am going to have to swap plugs on a more regular basis.   Either that, or I will have to just go for a joy ride before and after work every day when I take the sky.

Thanks to DDM for modifying my tune a couple of times for the new MAF Location

I can now park the car for a while knowing I have the number of the beast running like a perfectly tuned Demon.

Today I ponder my non-starting issue. Couldn't jump start her so I will have to loosen the side skirt and remove the fender a have the battery checked. If all goes well I'll install the Solo HF cat tomorrow. Installing DDM's OCC and fender trim today. My wife loves me.  :D She also got me the DDM center console. I need more shiny things to buy but having her run again is more important.

Dead battery=new free battery.  Installed and running.

Installed DDM's OCC, fender trim and center console. It was a DDM Christmas. Still have not installed the Solo HF cat.  Ordered a custom WR with Christmas money  and thats it... no more spending this year...

This year.  :lol:

You will love the DDM center console and a DDM Chritmas is awesome!  cdflint, post pictures of the DDM Center Console if you have time!  One of the best additions to the Eagle was the padded cross stitched center console that was added at a Meet.  Best comfort and interior looks addition to the Eagle.  Grreat addition indeed!

Yep, Sunday is just around the corner.  :D

Here is my console pic. I was looking at covering with leather in the future but for now it looks good.

Maybe you could sell him the block out of your old Isuzu, he probably wouldn't notice that it wasn't an LNF for quite some time. :poke:

Yes Bobbi, it was indeed a special new years eve and yes great time to have the top down even in the cold prior to winter setting in.  Glad you were able to get parts for the PT.  You never know on December 31st who you might encounter on the road cause of the reviler's lurking about but you just have to strut your stuff and drive careful and sane in order to come out alive with half the cars filled with juiced people celebrating, but hay, I ain't going to allow someone else dictate my life thank you and do as I please. 

Well, the new year came and went with some fanfare and we can all now enjoy 2012!  A toast is in order for the New Year...
Wish all on this forum safe travels and fun times with your Kappa and the best year ever for the forum, indeed!!!

Received my Windrestrictor from the end of year sale and installed. Everyone at Windrestrictor was very nice and helpful. Great customer service, very fast shipping and Stephen helped design exactly what I wanted. Thanks...

Good for you.  Anytime I see a vert with its top down during winter I go, now there's a true vert lover.  Also reminds me of how tuff folks had to be back in the day.  Windchill or no you still had to be tuff to run errands on the back of a  :donkey: or wooden wagon during winter.

bought some weatherstrip to put on the wheel well.
i would have bought the DDM product, but for a few bucks it wasn't worth the shipping halfway around the world...
will be putting it on in a couple of weeks, since i don';t have my GT stored in my house.
it should be a bit tricky to push it in, without damaging that sensitive wheel well...

any tips from people who have already placed it?

Some info here from when I asked the same question ;) ... http://www.kappaperformance.com/forum/index.php/topic,8016.

EDIT: I just looked again at the thread and saw you posted on it arabas, so maybe old news to you, sorry.
