I got the hood sanded, but good lord is wrapping a hard skill to master...

Mirrors and A pillar in matte black.

I'm doing my best, but dang is this hard. Definitely will be a 20ft car at NASSAM.
I did purchase some wrap cut tape, which should make it lots easier.

Engine tune revision #1 is in. It is running better than ever. The knock retard is wayyyyy down. This thing pulls like a bat out of hell.

My 20ft car is quickly becoming a 10ft car!

Well, 20 is more than 10.....

That's a measure of distance at which it looks okay mi amigo.

Uh, yes, I know that.

Uh, yes, I know that.

Okay

Welp, I'm just gutted.
I was doing rips during shakedown #2, and lost engine power. Originally I thought I had popped a charge tube off. It's throwing codes for low fuel rail pressure, and misfires on 1, 3, and 4.

I have no idea what happened, but I hope I can fix it. I'm currently thinking contamination in the e85 (clogging injectors), a bad wire connection to the fuel pump, or the new RPM HPFP went bad. It can still drive, and the turbo spools, but sounds off and drives slow.

I'm getting these codes:
P0087 Fuel Rail System Pressure Too Low
P0300 Random Misfire Detected
P0301 Misfire on cylinder 1
P0303 Misfire on 3
P0304 Misfire on 4

That sucks man! I’m guessing NASSAM this week won’t be in your future?

Replace the fuel rail pressure sensor.

Replace the fuel rail pressure sensor.

It's a brand new opel rail... Or wait... Did I reuse my old one? I'm up Pikes Peak Mountain for the race. I'll check tonight when I get home.

My wife and I are going to take the GR86 if I can't get the Sky going by then.

My apologies John. I think I misread your intial response as a misunderstanding.

My apologies John. I think I misread your intial response as a misunderstanding.

No apology needed, my response was an attempt at humor that didn't work as intended.

I'm really sorry to hear that you are having problems with the car. I hope that the fuel problem turns out to be something simple.

I ordered the ACDelco fuel pressure sensor. Amazon was the cheapest AND they're delivering it today.

Huge thanks to Ssky for bringing it up and Super Serg for looking it up in the manual. Y'all are amazing. I was in a pit of despair for a bit there.

My mates and I are all waiting for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb to start.
