POSTED A COUPLE DAYS AGO:
Soooo another day of f*ing around and sorry, no start up vid yet. I plan on trying tomorrow since I will have 3 hours free in the garage YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Since I couldnt start it tonight due to my baby boy going to sleep at 6:30 and his room being right above the garage. Open headers would make him poop his diaper! However i did get some things done tonight:
Installed 2 grounds that I should have in the first place(other ground is on driverside). This fixed my cranking issue.:
Installed my Norris motorsports PCV catch can. Great product and nice qaulity:
Got in my black sparkplug wire boots....story on these is I ordered them a long time ago back when I wasnt gonna wrap my headers. Part got on back order, i forgot I ordered them due to all the other **** I ordered, they came in today lol. Figured I would sport them, they look good and to be honest I wasnt digging my red wires. :
Figured out my JTR bleeder location with upper radiator hose I was going to use. I ended up just rotating the hose and now the 'hump' is on the driver side. Now the bleeder is in the highest position.:
How she sits for start up tomorrow(intake layout is temporary of course):

Very nice man! I have always liked your car, one of the cleanest 7's. Hope your luck with the LSX is much better than it was with rotarys!

FIRST DRIVE yesterday.....MAN OH MAN was it SWEET!!
Everything works as expected. The Integra speedo only needed a little tap on the head and then the needle jumped and worked the whole 12 miles. The cooling temp differances in my gauges cleared up. The C6 Z06 clutch is very streetable, I was expecting something a little harsher lol. The low end torque is CRAZY...so nimble when cruising and has good street manners.
It goes to get the exhaust tomorrow morning. I drove it down today to the exhaust shop to have them take a peek at the ride height just in case I needed to raise it for their hoist. Height was fine. They were CRAZY EXCITED about it, I laughed as I pulled up because everyone in the parking lot/block was rubber necking me
)
Got some pics of it today....it is dirty as all hell but I forgot how nice she sits. :yay:
INTAKE DONE
Interior cleaned
Ride height is nice but hopefully not too low(rear especially)

Exhaust DONE!!!!!
Turned out great looking!
VIDEO:
3 033
The car is WAY louder then the camera makes it seem. The 6" Magnaflows really have a nice rasp to them. However I am happy I dont freeway travel....these babies will drone at higher speeds.
All that is left now is to get my bumper installed, make a shroud for my radiator/ intake and take it to Spokane on to get tuned this month
