@el_freddo my 2001 i bought it rusted allready , this i bought in good shape and yes i put allready some protective layers in those places that get splashes from road most. and i will check for those areas every year anyway so i can see if some problem will appear. for now i have some kinda problem with car when it goes into some kind of limp mode, its laggy on low revs , doesnt want to spin wheels in sand so much and such... i know people say those cars with autos and VDC just behave more laggy anyway , but i think i should have better power and torque there... still trying to find those problems, then maybe i will make it more off roady as i love doing diy stuff and for now its nothing much for this car to do really. So in time will try mud tires and maybe even more lift like 4' half on subframe and half on struts as most do. as of now its goes with roof rack daily and sometimes with bikes in rear its just nice to able to take bikes with you and explore even more without car , maybe loose some weight same time lol, i need that for sure. testing some kind of wind deflector hard to tell is it now more silent or not but its not hurting there for sure if not going to deep mud or any mud those winter tires still work ok on sand , any forest roads , rocks , gravel not bad too. but for sure i want to test it some more. if camping just us 2 then we sleep in car only not even going for tents anymore , but sometimes im doing full car full bags , then some xtra tents sure needed for those other people. but for me its best in car on foam matress. tested different kind , air matress too and find that foam is just more compact , easier to put and carry and very comfy, not too high as well. made for myself that silent and loud mode, depends if i go alone and want to have some louder fun there i can allways make that loud mode for myself... then just close it and have silent city mode , nice for passengers too

Sorry, replied to the wrong post.

So many uses for baking tins, I love it. Here in California there are more hoops to jump through than a seal in a circus when doing engine conversions of that extent. Plus it's more money I'm trying to not spend. Good idea though and I'd love to do it, but as for now I'm going to crack open the ea81 carefully and see what I've got to work with. Plus a brand used ea81 so far is around $300 - $400 USD from these local maniacs that horde them. If anything, it'll be something fun to document and share. Thanks for the comment @el_freddo.

I'll take accolades for this (edit: freehand) effort though....

Misfires aren't caused by the TPS. You are barking up the wrong tree. Fueling is done by mass airflow and timing largely by RPM.... The TPS would have to swing a LOT to make considerable changes in timing enough to cause a misfire. TPS is largely used for acceleration enrichment and transmission kickdown, etc. Not achieving 100% isn't really an issue as anything over 80% is generally considered wide open for purposes of tuning (the point where the ECM enters power enrichment mode). Figure out what's wrong with your ignition or fueling or compression. TPS isn't your problem. GD
