Put my new Hawk HPS pads on, figured it would be a good idea over the old OEM ones I had; considering I hadn't changed them since the TII swap...
Unfortunately, one of my bleed valves decided to freaking break during bleeding. However, thank goodness for extracting bits. |

i drew this up, its a cheat, it fixes the weird bend in the RB header, without having to fab up a whole new header.

Today I started working on my semi modified TFIDFIS setup (thanks T G Farrell and Jeff20B for all your tips and advice). Designed my mounting bracket for the 2 HEI modules, and started wiring them up. Gotta get some heat shrink tubing to finish that out, will work some more on that tomorrow...pics up soon on my build thread ("return of a limited" thread in the build folder). Goal is to make it look clean and as close to factory as possible...

Installed steering gearbox, pitman arm, and ignition lock. Calibrated preload is right on the money!

drove it, simply drove it :)

after the meet tonight pulled on a 13b FB :egrin: (yes the SA is 12a mwuahaha) so last night i got the rad re installed, the top rad panel thing in, water pump gaskets all changed and reinstalled water pump, installed clutch fan and alt, battery... everything under the hood is good to go except hoses and belts. Started working on the brakes found driver front to be locked up so thats getting rebuilt tonight. Cleaning up and greasing bearings and im taking the rotors in to have turned this weekend. |
Started building the wiring harness for the Megasqurt, finished up customing the omp for the same setup. Getting closer to installing this thing! Just need some solid computer time to work on programming the thing...
Also cleaned up my shop a bit so I could move around easier lol. |
Realizing Ive been lazy compared to CShaw.
All I really need to do is get some gas & oil and try starting it. Will it happen today? Probably not. haha |
I opened ups boxes filled with goodies. A new aluminum radiator, 1000cc injectors, enough -an fittings/hose/alu. tubing to plumb an aircraft carrier (at least that,s what it felt like when I payed). Megasquirt has been finished and waiting install for almost a year.

Getting ready to meet with the guy that will be painting the car.

Dealing with the step-son this week, no time for fun stuff. :(
This weekend I hope to start cleaning/painting/re-installing... |
what i did today!
I decided to fix my instrument cluster dimmer lights which turned out to be a whole lot easier than i expected got me a tester light and pulled the switch out seen that there was power going in but none coming out!Decided that it was impossible to find the original part and went and bought me a lighted toggle switch and, WAhLA! I now can drive comfortably at night !But i see u got your hand full!Keep us posted on your progress!
|
this is a much faster thread that i would have thought! i'm gonna look at the FC today, it makes this rattle but usually only in reverse, and decel... its not fixing itself either! so its either i sell the car, or get under it...

Shined up nicely :nod: |
Hey Glen, how's about sending me some of that California sun. Been raining since 10pm yesterday, lol.
Between rain showers I got the pullies and idler for the Camden on, still gotta swap the apt pulley though. Cleaned up the S/C a bit too. |
I ran out of sun before I finished today's chores... clouds moved in just about 45 mins before sunset, & temp dropped about 15 degrees. Seriously interrupted my funxors.
What did I do for my car today? Busted my hump with the polisher, again. Trans is done, now; looks pretty nice, too: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...emoval/254.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...emoval/255.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...emoval/256.jpg Front cover's almost there; polished, but not cleaned or coated yet.: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...emoval/257.jpg Rotor housings are about 80% - - that's what the lack of light interrupted. What a nasty, dirty job polishing aluminum is. "Before" pic for comparison: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...emoval/099.jpg |
