yes, you can almost disassemble this cars with a 10mm socket, I love these cars finally being almost totally metric.
If you call STS they say it's "pending" for the S197. I am selling the STS because of that.

That turbo kit was awesome. I enjoyed the crap out of that turbo. Fun to drive, tons of power, easy to work on. Just not legal.

They probably send me CARB # tomorrow LOL.

The car is l ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After some injector problems, some scratched hands and some stupid moves by me, it runs.

Thru a bunch of codes at first cause I taken the TPS off really fast to adjust the fuel rail. Then tried to start it. FYI, the cars needs the TPS in it to run correctly.

So after letting it idle and what not, the codes went away.

Now for some drivability tuning tomorrow.

I see, I tuned one car with an STS twin and I thought it had a CARB sticker on it, if they don't have it I don't see why go thru all the hassle of the hoses and hobbs switch for the PCV and stuff.

There is a sticker right on the intake, but there is no number.

Thanks Hammy,

Do you or anyone else have a suggestion on what wire to tap into for a lighting source?


It's for my boost gauge. I want the light to come on when I turn the lights on.

If you are like me that does not want to modify much out of the original harness and given that I already had to take a wire that far because I was installing some switches there too, there is an unused light source on the auto shifter connector under the center console (yes, it is a common section of wiring for both auto and manual) I plugged mine there.
