3,503 lbs of trouble Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I saw Don & Liz at the Pavs a few weeks ago. I think they both have a lot going on, so he has not had a lot of time to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Don used to post on Corvettecrew.com. I missed his project updates and tracked him down on this forum. He is really good at providing details of problems and solutions. I am working on a TPI conversion on an '81 and really interested in Don's experiences. Hope to get an update soon.

Donbecker Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hey everbody!!Sorry, I gotta change my email in my profile...had some hosting issues.I've been doing good. Had a couple of breakdowns (that were entirely NOT EFI system related) right before the holidays. Almost decided to sell the vette but we're keeping it. Our house (by 24th & Roeser / South Mountain area) should be done around June. I've received clearance, and 6 to 8 months after the house I'll be putting the order in for my new toy:an elise! (www.lotuscars.com) The EFI system is running good. I still have all my pics and notes and need to make the time to get the document detailing the conversion done.I recently replaced the hack job throttle cable with a OEM one from an 86, which has completely eliminated the gas pedal sticking problem that I had before. After putting it on, immediately the idle RPM went from 1000 down to 800. A rough preliminary estimate is around 20-25 mpg. which is pretty good. I recently ripped out the false door and the computer stuff in the back to clean it up. I needed to wrap all the wiring to avoid...problems Should be finished installing it this week. I'll try to get some better pics of the system running. I need to start working on the fuel issues with the EFI, it runs ok, but I have so-so accelleration and I need to start getting it tuned to an emissions-friendly mix, I need to get tags (my Ohio expire in Sept.).

(www.lotuscars.com) I do have a natural fondness towards Lotus since I sort of own one. Sure you don't want to go Exige? Oh yea, and we would love to have you & Liz come to the Gila Bend BBQ this Saturday. It's the biggest A.C.E. event of the year, and my buddy with the Mega Squirt DeLorean will be attending.
