Didnt know u got a build thread derek

Lil_D

haha yeah mark

well i need your guys help. my tach isnt reading on my cluster but the speedo on the HUD cluster is giving the speed as the revs. so when it was idling the HUD was reading 8mph instead of the 800 rpms. the wires arent switch on the dash connector. any ideas?

ok well i just figured out why the motor wouldnt hold idle. the bottom of my freddy intake manifold wasnt completely sealed so i fixed that and now it idles finally

well heres a video of me testing my bee*r since i got it to idle




edit: well went to make sure the car would still idle and it wont anymore it seams to have another vacuum leak i can hear it but cant find where its coming from. ive had about 4 different vacuum leaks. i really hope this is the last one

Good to hear you are making progress. Might be time to do a smoke test and find the remaining leaks.

i was so happy when i saw you were dumping the rotas and stretch tires... then you stretched tires on new wheels.

drscooper

nice man sounds mean as hell! glad its doing well!

Lil_D

yeah i need to do that. its kind of making me mad that i keep getting all these vacuum leaks lol

i like stretched tires it my style. at least i have real wheels now lol

thanks! I'm trying.


talked to Dan at Part Shop Max and he said my rear drop knuckles wont be in until january so I'm trying to fix all the motor problems and get my interior all ready so i can put the knuckles on when they get here and just drive

Lil_D

bomex rear valance sold them to mel (ZAR) i think thats his zilvia name. i was told that no one had it in northern california possibly all of california

well i found a new vacuum leak and fixed it yesterday. car held idle today when i tested it but shot a decent sized puff of smoke so i turned the car off. i let it sit for a little while to try and figure out why the smoke thing happened. as i was cranking it it locked up -___- havent figured out why it did that yet but i was researching and it looks like its something to do with a bad injector luckily i have a extra set of stock injectors in my possession.

so i took off the fuel rail to try and fix the motor problem.


also hooked up the driveshaft bolted up the tranny added tranny fluid and found out i had 3 of 4 subframe nuts stripped already -___- so when i get my exhaust done im going to see if they will help me with the stripped nuts.

Damn man you keep running into problem after problem, you should just organize everything and go over everything to make sure you'll be good.

Lil_D

yeah. i had everything organized and little things kept popping up then the injector problem. almost everything else is done just waiting on my rear knuckles and then i can drive the car around for the first time in 16 months

too damn clean man cant wait to roll with u

CleanAndLegit

aha yeah i know how you feel, for me it's been technically 14months but I had it out driving for one month in april so since then it's been 8months should be out and completed in another 2. You decide what color your going to paint it?

Lil_D

i think im plastidipping (flame me if you so choose) it white for a few months just so i can daily it and not grab alot of attention then i want to either go back to the original dark green or midnight purple when i have money.

as long as it comes out clean idc aha, and eventually gets painted, My car was jade green originally aswell and its a very clean color nobody really uses anymore so I'd say that, but in the end up to you mann, but yeah keep up the goodshit.

Lil_D

thanks! i will ive been really leaning towards the green we will see when i get money. gotta buy my new wing, front wheels and front knuckles still -__-

word. no 326 wing no more? and talk to Driven08 about knuckles or D.Adams on here get you a good deal. Unless your trying to buy the PSM drop knuckles then save up, same for wheels, equips are one of my favs.

Lil_D

yep got rid of 326 i felt like it didnt fit my car right. im getting pbm because i have the front lca's already and ive heard really good things about them. for wheels i havent decided if i want to get a pair of equips for the front or a full set of something else. we will see when i get some more money to play around with. for now its get the car reg'd and smogged so i can drive it around

You've definitely stuck with it through multiple problems. I recently had a similar experience with bad gaskets, leaks, bad IACV, etc. Just one thing after the other. It gets frustrating!

__________________

CleanAndLegit

Oh okay I see, and yeah psm is very good I personally didnt choose to get the lcas and rlcas due to my thoughts of them being over kill, not really necessary IMO but to each his own, I just modded mine. I'd say get the 2nd pair of equips they'll be awesome, and yeah I get you I wish I could do the same already.

That's why its always good to go over/replace all gaskets, before swapping in the motor.

Lil_D

well i got the rear lcas to get more camber to fit my 12's with out bowing my rear overs lol, and the fronts because i already planned on their angle kit. i want to get the equips but there are alot of other wheels i want we will see when the time comes till then i will be trying to make my car look decent with what i have

so i found a hole in my return line to the fuel tank which was causing my car to leak alot of gas onto the ground, hooked up my power steering finally, planning on bleeding my clutch and brakes within the next couple of days. all that i have left to get my car driving is get a front bash bash bar made, get the rear knuckles and then rear z rotors. hopefully in january ill be on the streets driving and getting ready for some track events
