where's your build thread?

Mike
I love rx-2's! Maybe I can get one someday

Here's my build thread.

Very nice. That wiring looks intimidating. I've taken apart/fixed a few harnesses on my project FD so I know it's not that hard, it just looks like it. Heh, thankfully they went with a Haltech in my RX-2 so it probably made the job much easier.

I may be selling my donor sedan one of these days, if I ever get around to swapping all the parts I plan to. It would need a few harness repairs, but it's nothing compared to what you're doing with the 1st. gen.

Definitely, I'd rather see it go to someone local. If I ever get some free time to finish the running sedan it will be available, but who knows when that will be. I've just been super busy lately doing repairs on the house, not alot of free time lately.

First I need to get the project FD running & sold and then I can move onto the RX2. It's in the works though..

Well, Mike...I might be interested in taking on one of the projects if you wanna dump one. I'd be down with a deuce coupe or a 3... :p

Don't think I have a spare switch but I can look, most of the extra FD parts I have are the useless stuff nobody wants.

Going to try. I have the whole drivetrain in and need to finish up the wiring and I want to drive it around for a few days at least to test it out before I drive it to socal so we will see. I am just about ready to fire it up and I still need a few small parts but it is very close.

waaaaaaassssssssssssssupppppppppppp norcalers

picked up a 94' about two weeks ago, just received the federal ecu so i can smog it (code 16 on cali ecu)
some secondary turbo problems to solve before i drive the car around

100k miles on original motor (so i've been told) with no rebuilds, and compression tests out fine (100psi both front and rear rotors, one face of the rear rotor is above 90psi)

hoping to meet fellow enthusiasts and hear some catbacks in person
