Damn man. Well I went and picked up my oil cooler from the welder. No more cracks. Big plus. |
got the nice rad I stupidly poked a hole in repaired, remounted my e-fan (without poking a hole in the rad) and re-installed the whole thing. Re-jetted the dcoe and fired her up. Checked timing and went inside with a smile! Tomorrow.......... TEST DRIVE!

moved the new motor in the shop. gettin ready to start the swap....
|
chased my phantom noise and tried to figure out what the hell keeps screwing with my idle. Still no joy on either front. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't end up stranded between my place and Taco7 Friday. ;)
|
pulled ps pump from T2 cursed the SOB who stole my secound gen oil cooler for my FB, just noticed it was missing. I've lost 3 pairs of jack stands, a set of sockets, and now my oil cooler.
|
5 lug swap + 4piston caliper rebuild + kyb's and ground control coilovers + SS brake lines + hawk HP's + Brembo rotors + new fluids and fd wheels + spacers, and 4 new lug nuts = me exhausted. Still need to install a fuel cut switch, rebleed brakes, install front speakers, and yeah.... lots and lots to do... So far 18 hours (well, more but I dont count screwing off) in to it... gotta love project cars! :) And soon install the lsd, install a non grinding tranny, fix the rear main seal, replace the clutch/fly, and install a header- My body hurts just thinking about it... need to get those 2 lifts installed ASAP.
|

Took her for her "maiden" voyage, to Panther lake to work. Lot's of nice corners and elevation changes and one long straight. She handled pretty well, out of tune for sure, but over 4000, she ran like her ass was on fire! Finally some fun! Woo Hoo!!! Now for some open hwy and Taco7 tommorow. ;)
|
Stripped the project car
|
cursed at it and kicked the tire.

|
mocking up engine and tranny on car to construct transmission crossmember.
|
going to start it up and hope for the best
|
so are mine, but T2 should be up again today. I just need to get another car, so I don't have to stress if it runs or not. if only the fucker would stay fixed long enough for me to get some moneys. but I'm never selling. I got in an argument with my GF's dad a few weeks ago. Cause I won't sell them.
|
realized that i got ripped for 50 bucks and some beast 240 brakes for a faulty ass koyo. gaaah
|
jinxed.. have you tried letting him drive the 7? lol he might start buying you parts for it ;)
|
Cut off the 3" stainless w/Magnaflow weld in exhaust I had on. Pulled my RB dual exhaust off the red 84 and put it on the beige one. WOW! What a difference. I can hear my alt grind now. :( Much smoother sounding and the neighbors will be happier.
|
Put R32 rims on.
|
^^ beautiful. i sold mine today. i have one left but im officially out of the game.
|
Installed a black interior and looked a 93 FD with blown coolant seals :(
|
not a chance I'd ever let that fucker near my car, #1 always drunk, #2 no licence and can never have one due to 5 DUI's, #3 He's a prick, and it takes alot for me not to swing on him. I let his wife drive it and yes she does buy me parts from time to time, with his money, she used to say she's an overpaid whore, but now she's a sexy bitch (her words), even insists I park in her driveway with my massive oil leaks dripping like crazy, that should be fixed this week also thanks to rob at pineapple.
|
wow.. sounds like my sisters neighbor. people like that are so bothersome, ever to just visit. sorry to hear that though, probably wouldn't have made that comment had i known that. sounds like his wife is pretty cool at least ^_^.
