I spoke too soon! After almost starting to pull the transmission off I decided to try one last ditch effort. Ran over to Autozone, swapped for another starter(the second new one) and VOILAA! Started right up no grinding or anything! I inspected everything again, the starter plate was exactly where it needed to be, everything is torqued nothing was broken or out of place. DARN IT AUTOZONE

Saved yourself a headache. Thumbs up.

After World Cup Finals this past weekend it gave me the motivation I needed to get this thing done haha

 

[95eclipser]

Oh were you there or watching it live?

 

[Nate355RS]

Man, I'm not a fan of the 2g but you're making a really compelling argument. I need more friends who know how to fab and weld, good stuff going on in that engine bay.

Two of my dsm buddies and I took the 8 hour trip there, it was sweet but probably won't go back next year.

**UPDATE 11/29/16**

As of Sunday the car is back in the "shed" for this winters projects which include:
-8 point roll bar converting to 10 point cage
-New 2.0 6 bolt Curt Brown bottom end will be replacing the old worn 2.3 7 bolt
-TMZ tcase and frontline fab brace
-TRE trans
-New front mount either ETS or Garrett with custom end tanks
-New FIC 2150's
-Redo engine harness
-I am sure there will be many more things to get done as I tear into it..

Pulling around into the back of my yard to my other garage

Scored a sweet deal on a barely used Quarter Master 8 leg twin disk clutch.

Also scored this bullfab cross member and DSS driveshaft(Obviously this purple will be going..red is more my flavor)

 

[95eclipser]

Nice update man! I sent you a quick message. I like the cross member

I haven't seen Bullfab update stuff in a while. I think I'm going to use Boosted Fab for my cross member. He has a good deal plus will add a lift point to it for extra $10.00.
cant beat that!

 

[mikEclipse99]

A good friend of mine parted his car out and between me and my other buddy we tried to get as much as we could off it to keep his parts in the friend group haha. That's where my carbon hood and hatch, DSS driveshaft, Bullfab cross member and steering wheel is from. My buddy got the built 6 bolt and Clutch Masters twin disk from him also. His 2g lives on with us now haha thanks Sam!

 

[95eclipser]

Nice man. At least it stayed in the family you could say! Nice parts

**Update 12/04/16**

Started to tackle the new harness last night. Always fun spending hours peeling off 20+ year old electrical tape! I managed to get the majority of the harness labeled and clean of old tape and wire loom. Once it is fully cleaned up I will be removing all of the unused connectors and depinning them at the ECU.

Here is what I have removed so far, YUCK!

From here I will be depinning each connector, sliding some heat shrink on, labeling and clear heat shrink over each end with the nylon braided wire loom. I actually enjoy doing this stuff!

 

[mikEclipse99]

Did some more work on the harness last night, got two connectors depinned, labeled and repinned. The temp gauge sensor needs a new connector that's why there is so much extra wire.

Just did these two labels. Back to pulling wires through the rats nest back to the ECU connectors and depinning.. 1 done-500 more to go!

95% of the harness is cleaned up of old nasty tape and wire loom

 

[NB4G63T]

Seen you selling your turbo on FB?? I hope you're not parting the car out, been following it.

 

[mikEclipse99]

HECK NO! Just a change of setup for 2017, keeping the turbo just a different manifold and a couple of other major changes coming! I will keep this updated as parts roll in and things get cut off

 

[NB4G63T]

Getting away from the FF setup?

 

[95eclipser]

ugh ohhh sounds like a tube front core support is coming?

 

[Vegas Smith]

He's going back to a small 16g. Unported.

 

[mikEclipse99]

Getting away from the FF setup?

ugh ohhh sounds like a tube front core support is coming?

Maybe... haha. ok YES with a turbo somewhere in there

e's going back to a small 16g. Unported.

Actually, I was thinking going back to a T25

 

[95eclipser]

[ilikejesus]
