Finally passed e-test just in time to put the car away for the winter!

[92redragtop]

The car failed e-test at the beginning of July, being over on CO%. On the way home from the e-test location the car over-heated as it turned out the e-fans were not turning on/running. I also took it in for the e-test with a mix of old and new gas in the tank (I know, a no-no). Between time to work figure out what was wrong, lack of knowledge, and waiting for parts to arrive, I only got it working again over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Gotta give a shout out to ZR (Rick) for remote tech support while I was trying to figure out what was wrong. It turned out to be a failed e-fan assembly (dual ramcharger style) that apparently may have caused the DC Control unit to also fail. I initially ordered the e-fan, modified and installed it with no success so then ordered another controller from DC Control and installed that when it came in shortly before Thanksgiving - finally everything was working again after a couple cruises through west Caledon (Forks of the Credit, etc) and Hockley Valley to test everything and burn off the remaining old gas.

After burning through another tank of gas I took it back for a re-test today and passed. Looks like I may get a few drives in this coming week before storing it for winter (reports call for sunny and up to 18C I believe).

Great shots (co-pilot / car / scenery) and congrats on getting that put behind you. Pretty cool how a cammed n supercharged ride can pass an etest 100% legit.

[92redragtop]

Thanks - yeah I would have been worried if I had an issue after getting fresh gas in the tank and fixing the overheating issue (which clearly impacted the first test results).

[ZR]

I felt pretty confident you'd be good to go. Likely due for plugs, cap n rotor + fuel filter for next year though.

Sounds like a plan - I'll get it over to you at the beginning of the season. Thanks again!

[ZR]

Deal. :)

[Uncle Buck]

Now get a few miles on it!

Car looks killer btw

[92redragtop]

Thanks for adding the pic!

[HyperGT]

congrats. great looking ride...one of my fav foxes in the club.

[True Blue]

Nice fox! What cam are you running?

[ZR]

Thanks for adding the pic!

You know how much I love that car.

[92redragtop]

nice wire tuck job too.
Love those rims as well, how about some details on them

Thanks - the wire tuck was ZR's doing. The rims are American Muscle 10th Anniversary Cobra replicas (17x9) with Maximum Motorsports spacers on the back (with the longer Steeda wheel studs). These wheels fit the fox body perfectly (backspace/offset) in the front with no fender rubbing or sticking out too much. I tried the OEM Cobras and AM Cobras (5-spoke) and they stuck out too much in the front.
