That kid... he disappears more than ****** David Copperfield.

Rebuilt the motor, have everything installed, been trying to get it running for like 6 months.

at first it was some sort of fuel issue, then the ignition switch when out... now im broke and don't even have enough money to buy a damn ignition switch, let alone the injectors or fuel pump or whatever the hell the fuel problem is...

im so depressed...

ahh all i got is a fd pump but its for my t2. get a print out of the engine harness wiring if it turns over but just wont catch u might have your injector plugs backwards that was my problem.

and the pump basically lasts forever and the injectors never really stop working they just get cloged and leak but it would still start. its your ecu or your harness

Cody, I had no idea the FD you were talking about was his! It's a small world afterall. What was the compression on the motor after the rebuild? Has it fired up at all? That sucks that you can't really even do much diagnosis without the ignition.

Looks like its time for that car to get a widebody for some bigger meats out back and a super charger....he wants to go FASTER!

he said thats what he wants to do. he wants a mariah kit. he dosent like the fact that the wheels are sticking out. it needs a good exahst sytem tho. and do someother things around the engine area too. dont remember what. hes gonna paint the thing gloss black and gut the interior. i know that much, hes got a lot of plans for that one.

He should put one of those crazy rotary engines in there, I heard they bolt right up and fit under the stock hood.

I think Stealths are too heavy to be useful at all.

so ive decided on my very first bit of carbon fiber for the interior of the FC.

Has space for 2 60mm gauges off to the left side, im thinking oil temp and pressure. Should be a nice bit to hide the bubbly dash surface I have in that area.

Company that makes it also does the idiot surround, radio surround, t2 hood scoop inserts, as well as some other niceties. not ordered it yet, but im thinking order it next week after i get my first paycheck and get to ordering the oil temp/pressure gauges and the pedastal adapter for the fittings. Gauges will be curtesy of Prosport Performance, amber/white for everything, and probably respray the outer parts flat black to blend in a bit.
