I picked up my transmission Monday. Some small rod wasn't aligned or fell out of place. The shop moved it over and it started .moving smoothly. I'm waiting for these pics.I installed it Tuesday, and ordered an inline filter wit a .075...
This week I needed to tackle the huge rust hole underneath the driver's side fender. You remember this hole?I cut the new piece out of the donor part I was sent awhile back.Lots of trimming and hammering and I got it damn close.Before I...
I wanted to get the gauges all done this weekend, BUT I basically re-did everything I did last week too. I just wasn't a fan of the bullet connectors and how they looked...it was quite a mess under there, so I found some wire connectors...
Still wiring up everything this week. Kinda boring but has to be done. Worked on getting the gauges and the control harness for the LC-2 all setup. I wanted to de-pin, pin #4 on the ECU harness so I could make a pigtail to hookup the...
I just bought the DSMtuners 20-year Anniversary shirt (it's an awesome shirt by the way), and that inspired me to recreate a picture from the day I first bought my 1G, back in January 2003. I was just a 16-year-old kid with a $250 car (with a...
Let’s say it again all together, “CX racing turbos are the same Chinese 16g’s built by the same Chinese 8 year olds that every other eBay vendor sells, CXracing does nothing special with them”. With that being said, it’s like I mentioned above...
I'll be checking on the transmission tomorrow. I just finished doing some small stuff w the vehicle. I had filled it with oil the other day and noticed a very small amount trying to seep through. I went ahead and removed the rockauto gasket and...
I went through everything this past week. I put the gauges in, rewired some of my electrical, and put fluid in this machine. I rewired the wideband, and removed all the crimp connectors. I ended up soldering and replacing wires, do things...
Ronnie's car is no slouch, it's been bottom 9'sIt's 3" or 3.5" intercooler piping I believe and yes it was on Ecmlink. He's switching over to Fueltech this year.
Continued with the oil pressure gauge this weekend as well as getting the gauge pillar installed. First thing I needed to do was lengthen the oil pressure sender wiring so I could route it in a way not to get caught up in the belts. I routed...
So.....I went to the shop and went to my 98 Split Thrust block, and viola, it is made for it. I bought a used halfshaft that needs a new bearing from my good buddy @jersygsx and it came in today. It fits PERFECT so I took the other (and it came...
Hey everyone! I’m not dead, haha, I just got logged out and couldn’t get back in but finally got it working!Been driving the Laser around and it’s so much fun! Even been able to drive it in this warmer Midwest weather. It definitely likes to be...
Weird, I thought I had updated this awhile back...anyway, here we go.My door handle was squeaking, and while I had the door panel off I noticed the moisture barrier was not sticking very well, so I added more caulking to get it to stick better...
Well it was time to put fresh valve cover gaskets and well seals in, since it is just barely above freezing ATM, and I found THIS after I had the VC upsidedown:It is the reason you never ASSUME things are clean, even if they LOOK clean!That...
Yea gonna take it apart soon. Had a chuck of the block in my hand so who knows. My goal is 300-350 so I’m most likely gonna get a 7 bolt 98-99 and do a fully built bottom end and head. Would love to do 6 bolt but it’s to hard of a find and lots...
