Buttoned everything up after the long winter nap, weight loss, and clutch disc install. Took it for a short drive and discovered I may have screwed something up while stripping the wiring harness. Currently the blinkers and tach don't work. Going to make sure all grounds are connected and retrace some wires. But, it was nice to feel some boost again.
 
Shaving valve cover and then polishing. Just started my 80 grit round. I dont even know how I'll get the old paint out of the well.

After 2 years of ownership, I have finally received the title. Goes to show that it is possible to title a car with no title and previous owner no where to be found.

Had a buddy that worked at a tow truck company that would do that for me for cars that I bought and sold on criaglist. On a side note what me and my dsm did today. I drove my dsm today smashed all the ricer cuzz my shit won't break so there is nothing to fix.
 
Today i cleaned her and tested some plasti dip on her ass since i am planning on dipping her matte black in a few days, it will be a nice change compared to the ugly sunfading teal/green oem color that they come in... i really am excited for the plasti dip though, she deserves to look new :D also does anyone have any step by step instruction of how and what to take out in order to clean the engine bay? because im a newbie dsmer and started 3 months ago and am trying to understand these cars LOL

Aircraft Stripper. Canadian Tire use to sell it years ago but I don't know if they still do (I hate that store for the record).

I'm working on my Q45 TB to get it set up for my car.

Threw in my coil pack and put the car together.. and still idles like a subaru... :mad:
Trying to figure out what's next to check...

I have a list of things to check but I need to get the tools at the hanger to do the next few. :/
 
I finished got the factory nipples pulled out of my Q45 TB and tapped them. I broke an 11/32 drill bit off in one of the coolant passages FUUUUUUUU.....I managed to keep clam and removed it with no issues.

I also ran a 17hrs torture test on my LED tail light boards. Results, not 1 single burnt out LED with all LEDs running at their max current (70mA). On to the next design phase!
