lol idk i'm just attempting to tackle it as it is and as the problem comes... still going to need help with core support and maybe a few things though

[SilentCool]

You're putting in a lot of work man. I like!

[Gabzor]

problem is i'm lazy..

anyways.. my cellphone sucks at taking pics, and i let a buddy borrow my 1D

so.. ya.. but its almost running.

all it needs is a battery tray, and i need to resolder a few wires cause they were wire nutted

Dude just keep going. When you look back at this, you would be proud of your work

[Gabzor]

lol now i got 2 jobs, its very tough..

all it needs is power steering, ac, interior bits and paint and a battery tray

[Gabzor]

was having problems getting spark for about a week, it turned out to be a damn short somewhere and i had to basically pull apart the harness to get rid of it -___- (so i guess shorts can stay within your system even in a car)

now the problem is the car won't stay on, when i give it gas it keeps on going, but as soon as gas is out, stall..
iac motor/valve perhaps?


btw why do my wheels spin on neutral? friction/inertia?

[mycarlisa]

i dont have sound here at work, but i know if there is a restriction in airflow the car will die at idle. i would double-even triple check all air hoses and air filter.

Your wheels shouldnt be spinning on neutral. i mean yeah the weight of the car will shift when you rev so you might move like 4-6 inches at most, but it shouldnt be moving alot.

[AlchEm1st]

Any CELs? I had a similar issue when my TPS was going bad. I adjusted the biss screw to get past it, but eventually the
tps died all together and needed to be replaced. May or may not be the issue here though.

[Gabzor]

no idea about the CEL's i didn't connect a cluster yet, and i was thinking its the MAF/air intake stuff cause before it had a MP CAI and it started fine, the stock intake, the previous owner lent it out, and when i got it back it looked all messed up..

the only CEL before according to the previous owner was EGR, which i replaced

i think it may be my IAC valve also

[SgtRodriguez]

I want to know if the cluster i sent you still works after usps's glorious delivery method. I am also curious of the mileage. So get on with it! Lol.

it works lol i swapped out the circuit board and stuff, just trying to get a free day to pick up another housing and cover.. housing later though as manual clusters are rare.. and the mileage, i was going to swap with my odometer

[Gabzor]

went to the yard, and grabbed some more air stuff, didn't do anything.. so i tweaked the BISS screw a little bit like alchemist says

i need to get that CEL scanned, maybe it is my TPS and or IAC valve
the previous owner did tell me it was the EGR, but i did clean it up a bit and replace it, but i didn't take off the intake mani, and yes i used a brand new gasket, and torqued it to factory specs

anyways, i need to do a few more things and i should be able to take it around for a drive!


earlier, a when i first got the car a certain somebody started my car when it was on jackstands, (pretty sure everyone in the mini-chat knows)
so he basically ran the motor dry, sounded like a bearing went out or something until it got up to temp (i know i should have shut it down)

but he told me it was just lifters.. yeah right..
the current ticking sound i believe is lifters.. no more bearing knock (it was doing this when the P.O drove it)

headers smoking.. idk why..


white cluster needles working! (on my 1.5)

[PaulO]

Jelly. White face clusters are sexy

[Gabzor]

Jelly. White face clusters are sexy

sure is, i'm actually planning to swap the green car's original odo later on it tonight

[Gabzor]

i can't freaking figure out why the crossmember keeps mounting crooked!!!!!!!!!

[mycarlisa]

time to make another trip to the junkyard.

[s.gaspar]

i can't freaking figure out why the crossmember keeps mounting crooked!!!!!!!!!

you ended up swapping cross members??

[Gabzor]

i can't freaking figure out why the crossmember keeps mounting crooked!!!!!!!!!

you ended up swapping cross members??

i need to pull the kframe and everything later if it doesn't work, i meant the crossmember holding the lower mounts

and i had to borrow mounts

[Gabzor]

was pushing the car, but my back hurt like hell so i said screw and started her up.. moved her with her own power, was fine and now the green car is in front, but i lost a few bolts and lost the KEY!!!!!~!!!!!!!

[Gabzor]

found the key.. as some of you know -__-

bled my brakes and a friend's, i did my clutch again as well and damn alot of bubbles came out (maybe its cause i cleaned out the master once more)

but yeah.. now i don't know how to transition from pedal to pedal and the pedals are all damn firm -_-

[Gabzor]

got my white faced cluster hooked up, got the original odometer from this car into it too now, will check calibration when i can drive the car... also have another odometer project coming up. oh, and best of all NO MORE CEL!!!! which means i pass smog ..

Nvm.. engine lights back.. knew it was too good to be true

[mycarlisa]

lolz. keep on trucking through man. you will get it.

[AlchEm1st]

Well, you're making progress anyway!

[Gabzor]

good news first, the damn thing is on!!!!!



bad news.. need new mounts, and heres some photos..

this is what happened when i first mounted the x member, without the front mount..


this is what it looked like on the xmember side when i mounted the rear mount first, that led me to believe the subframe was bent up..



thanks to everyone who helped me in that repair thread, mike, rpw chris, thanks!!

[AlchEm1st]

Yeah, I'd buy all new mounts. Buy an Evo 8 transmission mount and Evo 8 roll stop mounts. They should bolt right up. As for the timing side
mount you can get an aftermarket poly insert to press in from SuperPro or I think Powerflex.
