fix my car I give up

 

Once you are done with his, I call next.

 

If you have 'cash money', pay someone to fix it... wats rong with it?

U to Ryosuke?

 

yeah whats wrong with it?

 

I diagnosed the problem...hmmm yes, he owns a financial disaster, only one way to fix it.

 

what throw loads of money at it?

 

My name cash money was a homage to the Cash Money Millionaires who were big in 2001 when I signed up for the forum, but like them in 2008 I have very little of it.... haha

Well I was gonna post the pictures when I finished, but I'll let you guys into my little project since I may not get to finish it since I move in 2 weeks...

 

When I started:

Exterior

There is no pictures of the roof, fenders or hood, but they were in the same shape as the hatch: peeling clear coat.

 

Apparently the car had been in the wreck, and the car had been re-sprayed very poorly, good clearcoat shouldn't flake like that, there was also some body damage in the front AND rear, and some access holes drilled to pop dents out. The seam that runs below the door was welded, just to make a cleaner line:

 

 

ENGINE:

 

Engine AFTER:

 

more before and after:





and thennnnn:

 

wastegate porting on my efini twins:

 

Interior: Everything tan is being converted to black....

I removed the bose system but kept all wiring in tact. I also ran speaker wire to both doors, ran 3 pairs of RCA's, REM, and 0 GA power wire, for a possible future battery relocation. Oh and I sound dampening EVERYWHERE, cabin, firewall, doors, drunk, etc....












installing my new black carpet:


I'll post more of the interior next week

 

Had an erratic/surging idle for the longest time. Depending on the time of day, and the temperature, it will idle differently. Now starting to think I have a vacuum leak somewhere. Next payday going to get some gaskets and take things apart to see if I can find anything.

That's really the only major thing. And taking it to someone would be a pain because the closest shop is a couple hours away.

 

Have you guys thought about replacing the water temperature sensor? Or maybe the air temp sensor. I had a major problem with my car and it was all due to the water temp sensor being bad. It caused alot of headache.

 

You have done some great work on that FD. I'm impressed by folks with the skills and patience to do it.

I never did get what the problem was with your car now however?

 

^ +1 lol only thing thats wrong with it i can see is its not put together

 

Haha. oh yeah... That's one of the problems I'm running out of patience, and time, I move to Chicago on the 31st and the car isnt coming with me, I'm also having some electrical problems, the the engine wont fire becaue spark or fuel problems (TBD).

I've run into a lot of problems including being send an engine harness for an automatic and not figuring out until I dropped the motor in and crawled back under the car to the connect the tranny disconnects,
