Got transmission system up and its good to go. Had to replace the clutch master cylinder. Found out why it was running rough.

Fuel injectors were getting 12v on both sides of pin, UH OH!!! So we isolated the injector connectors and disconnected the ECU connectors to make sure it wasnt the ECU fuel drivers grounding the wires. It wasnt, thank God. Somehow the injectors are grounding to the chassis somewhere so we are going to make a complete separate wire bundle for the injectors so itll be easier and make those old wires dead by preventing any power or other wire touching them.

Why are you attempting to rev the engine when you obviously have a problem?

It came out really good! Could use a good buffing. Also found out that my front bumper and hood are carbon fiber and they were painted over, the guy that i got it from never told me that Sweet Surprise ever! Te interior trim is a metallic smoked black

The car is undergoing a paintjob, painting it a coach black

Looks good now. I remember seeing your FD when I was In Guam. Mine died while I was out there. It was hard to get parts, and no dyno makes tuning a challenge. I had to push my car into a container to get it back to the mainland.
