Just a quick update....The Innovate Lamda unit or the wideband sensor has failed for some reason. I am getting an error code 3. Innovate has been great at support so far, and the LC1 is on its way to them for troubleshooting and/or repair. I am losing an extra 2 weeks due to this. I still can do other things, though.
If I have learned anything during this project, it is that when building such a major project, and actually, one that has never really been done, it takes a very long time. There is not that much that has not been modified or down right replaced in this car. Much oif the major components are also one-offs, adding to complexity, expense and time.
But, it has been worth it. The journey has been long, but I have learned much. I am beginning to get a bit impatient, though....

Hey all, this update is long overdue...I last posted up after Scott Davidson's awesome idle tune...Unfortunately, since then, we have not been able to hook up since due to both of our schedules. Scott is certainly more than capable of tuning my car, but he can generally only provide a few hours at a time. When adding the learning curve of the SM4 software, this greatly extends the time it takes to tune. So, after discussing this in detail, Scott will continue to focus on his monumental tasks at work, and so will I, as we are both working on major projects for our companies. I have engaged Enzo from Enzo-Racing to tune my car. Enzo has 10 years experience the Autronic, and he is their top US dealer/tuner. I will fl him down in the month of July from New York, and he will complete the tune.
In the mean time, Shane is coming by tomorrow to take me for a ride in his newly completed SC300 Turbo, and to work with me on my car. We are cleaning up the wiring, installing the interior, and a few other items.
Here are some pics of my headlights, with a couple of coats of Black paint. This is the final design, they just need completion now. They should be done within a week or so.
