Had my hands on 2 20B front clips... thanks to hoofhearted and spyder... hey guy's post some of those pics... oh so freakin sweet...

 

4 hours later after you guys left.....

 

Hey Gambone, can we borrow your engine stand to hook this puppy up to so we can do a compression test?

RB

 

i went to atkins a few weeks ago and they still had a cosmo front clip... so sweet to look at it... i really liked the dash... it got sold to a guy in las vegas

 

Bob the automatic uses a motor side mounted starter . We may be able to just bolt it on and throw the tester on.
First and formost, the MMO bath needs to come.
Things we found on that car:
HKS air filter
Ultra Plug wires
Cleaned?New? Secondary injectors.
Oil in the charge pipes .
Stock ecu.
Coolant mess It was brown and full of crap .

 

did you get the front clips from somebody in portland?(and how much-any more out there?)

 

not just 1 20b but 2 your awsome

 

Hey Marc, how's my engine lift doing? bending anymore?

 

Its fine!
I proped the motor up for the night and called it good. I have clients all day tommorow and school, so wend is the earliest for me to work on it.

 

, I'll be there if you don't mind Just PM me or call me with a time!

 

I think it would be kick *** to actually have a complete eunos cosmo and do the manual tranny swap. Just my opinion though.

 

man thats pretty awsome you got 2 of those

 

how much did that set you back?

 

One came from North Carolina, one came from LA.

Each was a tad less than $5k shipped here. Plus I spent another grand for the trailer to haul them from my shop to Spyder's.

Another $1500 for one ems. Plus lot's more; like the car(s) they go into, fuel pumps, sway bars, engine mounts, etc., etc.

 

Yes and I have a starter to crank it

 

damn, i would love to see one of those in my FD

 

Bob call me when you get this.

 

Steve,

I'm going up there this weekend. What's your schedule look like to do a compression test and hook up the engine/stand?

Spyder,

What's good for you this weekend? We need to work around Steve's schedule, because he has the engine stand and compression tester.



Bob

 

I think I may begoing to eugen on sunday to do a comperssion test for Matt, after 1:30 on saterday I is free

 

Bob, saturday I am pretty busy after 3pm. Before then is fine.
I tossed the auto starter on and got it to crank over. I soaked each chamber with WD40 and then just tried turning it by hand.... nothing-puff-puff. Through my piston tester on there 20-97-75.

 

So if we left at 1:30 and got at Spyder's at 2:30, we would have a half an hour to do our business. That's cutting it pretty thin.
