I love you guys! You are all there for me in the 10 step program......or is it the 2 step....IDK.
Thanks Brian!

Mocked up the decklid. Has some slight fitment issue but nothing major. Rear bumper, however, was noted to be only holding on with few bolts and many snapped off. Thinking about attempting to wrap the bumper myself when I have it off fixing the broken bolts.

Hey Victor, do you like the way the 3g mounted and hooked up? Any issues for advice? My "new" car has NO brake master so I can do whatever I want for maximum brakes, as it will be a track only car. Thanks!

Wanna sell em.......?
JK, I will need another set of rods/pistons for this motor. I got it from froze up to rotating freely in about 10 mins. Its a 6 bolt turbo motor. I have no idea if it has issues but will dam sure fix anything and have another extra engine. It has ZERO ring groove in the cylinders.
I'll see if I can "work some of my magic".......

When you are done scrubbing the front end push on those Firestones, invest in a set of Toyo Proxes RA1s

DOT Tires Designed for Competition Events - Proxes RA1

DOT tires that win races, the Toyo way. Road racers know the Proxes RA1 tire for delivering quick lap times, consistency and long wear.

www.toyotires.com

Its a full race wet tire, and the best street tire I've ever run.

Thanks ill look into this

Well initial troubleshoot of the p0202 code didnt show anything too blaring. Tested resistance of injector 2 against injector 3 and wasnt any notable difference. Same goes for the voltage I saw at both of their respective connectors, nothing notable. Dont really want to swap injectors around because I dont think that will change much. Maybe its the IRP? Maybe its just a random pop of the code? Electrical stuff drains me

On vacay this week, so doing some late work so i can find something fum to do during the day. Finally got this knuckle off. Was able to separate the drum from the knuckle and didnt have to remove the parking brake cable like i originally thought. Going to clean it up and install the prothanes. Wasnt hard so far, just dealing with rust, seizures and lack of knowledge of what exactly need to happen to get just the knuckle out.

Hoping i can do the other side before i get tired

Spinning brush wheel on battery powered drill would be my weapon of choice, without a media blaster.

I use a wire brush threaded on an angle grinder when I don't use the media blaster. It's faster than one in a drill cordless or otherwise.

Battery powered, cause - when the battery gets tired - I'm usually tired too. ;-)

Unless I'm pressed for time I think I've given up on abrasive rust removal. I knock off the crusty stuff and the rest.... Evaporust for the win. I haven't gone so far as a 5 gallon bucket but i see it in my future. Gallon will do for now.

I did resort to a chemical rust dissolver on my cast iron rear rotors - that worked well. Still needed spinning SS brushes to finish it.

Got my oil squirter delete kit from amazon

 

[CrackedDSM]

Pulled my CAS off, and flipped the little trigger wheel 180* because I was desperate.

Completely changed how the car drove. Idle is smoother, throttle response has significantly improved, low speed/off boost power has gone up significantly, acceleration is also cleaner and faster. All of my little plaguing issues have completely gone away. I thought the car drove smooth before, and it did, but holy crap is it an improvement having the CAS properly clocked. .

I also installed H4 conversion lenses so I could upgrade to some H4 LEDs, and man. They make a spectacular improvement over the Sylvania H4666 halogens I had in there before, and they were the brightest one's Sylvania sold. Also: I properly aimed them so I'm not blinding oncoming traffic...however I have these high beams ready if some douche in a truck wants to be an idiot with his high beams.

On the positive side...Ive been pretty good about not scoring the insides so far

Update:
Both knuckles out. All bushing out of the passenger side. Picked up some wire wheel attachments for my angle grinder for blasting this rust off.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Painted some of the car today looks much better until next time

Sweet Je#()* I've recovered anchors off the lake floor with less crust. I'd go for chemical warfare in a bucket!

Found a new windshield for my 92 Talon. Plan to do a ground up after the restore of my 1974 Glaspar G3 is restored.

 

[cswindel]

Either the harbor freight noid lights are busted or my injectors aren't getting signal cause the light didnt flash when cranking. May need to try a different kit to test the harness or I'll just fire it up, wait for the 202 code to pop up again and listen to see if injector 2 is actuating

 

[SixBolt_16G]

All bushings and sleeves removed...

Wire wheeled....

Soaking...

I couldn't stand the look of the paint on my valve cover, so I had it powder coated and installed it today.
Made sure to be careful with how much I tightened the bolts! The new gasket looks good, but we'll see how good a job I did without a torque wrench.
