You guys are gonna have fun trying to fix that thing in the dark with all the rain!
but yea dude!i know it sounds lame but theres nothing more adrenaline pumping than being 400' above the ground with nothing but your own two little hands keeping you from plummeting to your death below...when its windy-I wouldn't think less of any man that shat his pants. but the view is incredible! really!
I don't condone it though. It's dangerous, not to mention illegal-trespassing on private property. So, don't go climbing every tower you find.

Oh, and the rain is plenty enough to stop anyone without a garage...meaning me. Winter was a rough time to do a motor swap in the driveway!
no all i have is the print out of the engine assembly i dont have internet at my house the place its at isint really where im living im in the process of moving but the car is stuck there till it runs.
you guys are crazy...i dunno about where you are- can't be too far from me, but its been thundering and lightning and pouring rain for like 6 hours straight. and its like 60ish degrees outside...whats the rush before daylight?
it was a no go i melted the starter wires so i just fixed them when the stores opened and it turns over fine now and now that they hooked up my brake vacume and fixed some ground issues on the harness it jumps and sputters but it still wont run..its right there on the jaged edge where your heart starts pumping really hard and it feels like this could be it but then it lets u down.
could the fact that the oil sensor on the side of the oilpan the big one with 2 bolts and a big black wire being not pluged in keep it from starting??

na d eric u said to check for flooding but i pulled my plugs and they wernt hardly wet at all.

I would plug in everything that should be, ESPECIALLY the sensor in the oil pan, which is for low oil warnings. But it sounds like it needs just a bit more oomph to get fired up since its "Right There"
i just got comfirmation for 3 sources that the low oil level sensor has to be pluged in for a s5 n/a to start im gonna plug it in when i get home from work and hopefully ill ahve good news
melted starter cables and bad grounds also lead to no fireing, as well as having your leading coil on the trailing plugs and vice versa, as well as nice vacuum leaks, but he should be set once the sensor is plugged back in, hopefully.
