Looks like a fun project to get going! I had 3gs before my 2g. Mine as the sad engine. But I did a total restoration on it because I love 2gs soo much

Nice! My brother had a flash blue pearl 3g GT and that thing was fun too. Not as fun as my 4gs IMO but still fun nonetheless. I’m excited to see what one of these is like after it’s running.

Update time!

The car is officially together! But not running
Initially the car was completely dead and I traced the harness all the way out to determine the alternator was bad, as it blows the 100a main fuse anytime it’s hooked up to the rest of the harness, so for now I’ve been attempting to start the car and just see it run off pure battery but, it won’t start.

I swapped new spark plugs in, I pulled the return line after the factory regulator and I’m getting plenty of fuel through the rail, the ignition wires are brand new, and when the spark plugs are pulled they give off a healthy spark.

I have ecmlink v3 installed on my computer and I ordered it with large injectors in the order form but after I decided to leave the stock injectors in because I want to get the car running good in mostly stock form and then upgrade and tune from there (also so I can follow tutorials a little easier and if issues arise I know the car was running good beforehand)

Anyways my laptop won’t connect to my ecu. “no response received” is the message anytime I try to connect. So now I must troubleshoot and move onward. Anybody have experience with this?

In the form the car is in right now it runs off ether, so I’m thinking maybe an injector is clogged or something. But every system and interior light etc in the car seems to be working so, I must troubleshoot further and get an actual alternator in the car too. It’s expected to arrive the day I posted this update.
