That thing was a POS! I was not sad to see it go. That's why I was shocked to see you get one. They're heavy and have TONS of electrical gremlins. The A/C control pissed me off every day down here in the hot Texas sun. No matter what "mod" I tried to fix it with. Kept melting. By the end, I could only run on 1 or 2. Then the sunroof, hatch, radio,........so on. Pile....of....sh*t!

 

My 03 2.0l never had any issues other than the ones I created..lol



Maybe your GK knew your reputation and decided to 'Bow Out' before things got to heavy

 

It's possible. I did buy a few parts to start a turbo kit, but after the electrical issues started popping up, I knew better than to drop a ton of cash into it.

If you do a search on the A/C control on NT, you'll see a 20 page thread of people trying to fix the damn thing. No success other than to buy a new control console, and replace the wire harness. Not cheap.

 

lol, first thing I ditched was A/C on the Tib. "New" one was already taken care of due to the undisclosed wreck that took out the condenser. Benefit of living in Colorado..

 

How's that benefit working out for you right now? I'm wearing short sleeve shirts, and shorts after work. How many layers do you have on?

 

Today had great weather, so I spent most of the day outside doing chores, bbq'ing, and working on the Tib. I drained the new Trans fluid so I can install the new axles. They fit perfectly. One less thing to worry about failing.

Also swapped injectors and got the car started to begin finding the oil leak. I also found and fixed a nasty fuel leak.



One more leak to take care of and I'm off to get tuned.

 

Glad to hear you're making progress. Who was your contact and what was the price of your axles? Power rating? I'm lazy and don't feel like searching the thread.



I'm still going to wait and see if/when I break one (fingers crossed), but it would be nice to have the information if I determine I do need them.



So you are just going to run a pickup tube into the tank and mount the pump somewhere in the back of the car? Do you already have upgraded fuel lines? Sizes?



Thanks for the assistance.

 

Now that I've installed them to verify fitment, I plan to post separately for everyone.







I bought 1/2" fuel line, fittings, weld in sump, and Magnafuel 4303. See post below. The intent is to utilize the factory return tube, but replace the feed line up to my already mounted Aeromotive A1000 filter.

 

Nice, will that fit through the access hole that the stock fuel pump is bolted to?

 

Not sure what you mean? The sump will get welded to the factory tank. The supply hose and pump will come from the sump. Only the factory return line will be left to run at the top.
