I don't know about ours but most cars have the oil pickup in the front of the oilpan, right?
Meaning it isn't good to have a car running with the front jacked up like that.

 

Only ran for about 5 minutes at idle, should be ok.

 

is it supposed to smoke like that?

 

If you lubed up everything like you should when rebuilding it it will smoke like crasy for the first little while.

 

ADAMP is right... If it dont smoke it aint going to last very long...

 

haha, your a pretty big guy
how do u fit comfortably in that thing

 

i'll check the video when i get home from work. work connection is horrible

 

It's ok as long as the oil pan is full, otherwise you couldn't drive an FD up a steep hill?

That's the very normal first time start smoke - really gets the neibours!

 

Good point, thanks - no mountains/steep hills around here.

 

I fit fine, I'm 6"1 225. The problem I did have is that no way could I fit in there with a helmet on so I got the Corbeau ForzaII and bolted it right to the floor.
Now if I could just solve my clutch problem I could actually drive it!

Well if you need any pics or video or parts or other help let me know, I could not have done it without peoples help on the Forum.

sounds good!

 

Okay that was not really the VERY first time I started it, that was the second time after I moved the clutch fork off the clutch and found the oil and water leaks...
Here is the real first starting.
