still waiting on the tube adapters from the UK so I can finish my damn PS lines... only place I found metric sized tubes. (PS res and cooler are 10mm and standard stuff didn't fit)
anyway, finally got the correct shifter bucket bushings and got the driveshaft up
front sway bar up, I need to get another set of ramps so I can tighten all this shit with car weight on it.
got a bunch of shit powder coated
building my fuel lines on a wild friday night! yeee
fit checking
I like the FPR here, last time I had it by the washer bottle but this hides the lines so much better
lines done! taken apart and cleaned out
hurry the fuck up, dad! We got bitches to pick up!
this picture makes me happy
intake manifold bolted up, wiring connected, coolant hoses connected - i still have to sort out the coil wiring cuz the way I had them routed they weren't long enough. They were routed based on my old pictures when I was taking things apart but maybe my new ones didn't have pig tails that were the same length. they reach if I go through the manifold runners instead of around but I gotta figure out what happened there.
Two outlying problems I'm facing:
1. Whats the best way to restore plastics? I want to redo the timing covers but all the products I see out there are super temporary. I've heard of using a heat gun but then heard i ruins the plastic.
and 2. When I tried bleeding this thing I had a strap compressing the slave so the piston wouldn't pop out, but in the car the pedal wouldn't pump at all. it was frozen and yes the bleeder was open. I pulled it out and was able to move it the way it sits now but I also popped the piston out and pissed fluid everywhere. cool. any ideas?
