just bought an FD alt dual belt pully from jp2la, about to put the new ecu in, hopefully this resolves my charging issues and cold start issues. if not, then i have a spare set of injectors to send out to get rebuilt and try those, also have another set of ignition coils going on.
all this work, just to last til i throw the RE in

Lloyd

 

so, no progress report.
anyone know where to find a nut for the fd alternator? just the nut?

Lloyd

 

You can probably find it at a hardware store.

 

Looks Sweet

 

huff, had to go to mazda to order it, not a single place had anything matching the shaft. 16$ later, i should have it monday.
looking forward to not having the misc electrical issues.....hopefully

Lloyd

 

installed the fd alt with the pully, starting to have flooding issues, i think the injectors off the other s5 n/a engine are going to get rebuilt and slapped in, hopefully it will fix that issue.
been having misc electrical issues though....


Lloyd

 

still no update. lost my job recently, so money is tight with the new living quarters, getting money coming in, will update when i get something done

Lloyd

 

Ouch man, sorry to hear... Best of luck, and dont let the 7 steal your grocery budget :P

 

nah, shes a dd right now, and holding up well. backed off beating on her too much, just to make sure this setup lasts long enough to throw my re in it

Lloyd

 

Vivian looks sexy, love the wheels.................

 

Did u get the duel alt pulley specifically for the fd alt to be used on the fc, or drill an fc one and use a spacer in the back? great progress btw!

 

its the jp2la fd dual belt alt pully for the FD alt

Lloyd

 

cool. how much was it if you dont mind me asking? i recently did a similar alt swap. I already had the dual pulley for an fc alt so i made that one work.

 

eh, its still giving me some electrical issues. but theres not much i can do about it right now, no job, so im having to ***** myself out to get side jobs just to pay rent

Lloyd

 

that sucks man, best of luck with everything and hope things turn up soon.

 

something will turn up soon, always seems to

Lloyd

 

not sure if this car is going to get done.....

Lloyd

 

dont give up i have faith. oh also will you be attending the ROM meet this friday

 

yup, rotary#10 and i set these meets up

Lloyd

 

sick vert man..

 

Just took a job as a tow truck driver. I start monday, so hopefully I can get back on track with vivian, gunna have it finished by sevenstock this year. **** child support and nut bag baby mommas. Everyone needs to avoid getting themselves in my position...... Anyways, vivian is back on course, just a bit slower

Lloyd

 

i love this coment its basicly why my sev is not finished because of the same reson, bloody exs a do my head in

 

luckily im always doing work, cash in hand, cash spent on 7....at least my **** runs. hopefully i can get this RE done quick

Lloyd

 

keep it up bro

 

got some work done last night. decided to finally put in this brand new carpet i got a few years back.....i forgot how much work it is. got the dash out without breaking anything, i have a few pieces to replace, to make this car perfect will cost me another 2g round abouts, but its worth it to me, i want the cleanest vert in the bay area.
anyways, heres the pics. tried to take pics last night, but not enough light in my garage, i think i need to remedy that





need to order some plastic, floor mats, and a few other things
