GunMetalGrey Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Nope! I sent out my old flywheel a month or so ago to the company that made it to see about replacing the friction disc and cleaning it up a bit. They told me the flywheel is 18 years old and would cost a bit to fix up and then offered me a great deal on a new one. Ended up buying the new one, and it doesn't work with my pressure plate. Guess they never looked at my old flywheel huh. Mildly annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Had many a flywheel Got a roof rack, got some tint, all good things.Tried on some wheelsPut my intake on and realized that the IX brake fuild res doesn't fit so well. Had to put the intake on without the throttle body in order to make it fit. So snugMore things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks man!I just have the cover set there right now, but will be adding some mounting to the blower motor cover to be able to secure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I keep looking at those pictures and it bothers me every time that the one clamp is silver, I replaced it with a black one. Have no fear.Oil cooler is fully plumbed, and I started adding oil. I am at about 7 quarts with no cranking and I am just hitting the minimum oil level on the dipstick. Nifty!Exhaust is on, wiring is pretty much done, intercooler and whatnot are in place. Add fluids, check for leaks, start it?I always feel like I am missing stuff and that it should take longer.... not that I usually miss things. Just feels weird having a working car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 When you gonna attempt to start it? I wanna be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Got some coolant in it, added a fender and some hood support pieces. Gave her a bit of a crank to start moving some oil, everything sounded in check. May shoot for a fire up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Did some cranking, but didn't get a spark. Will be digging into this issue tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Diagnosed a bunch of stuff for the spark, will hopefully be testing my fix tomorrow! It appears that suddenly all of my coil drivers took a crap and don't work. Got a new one to try!I ordered a horn button awhile ago that was said to be dimension A, which I figured would be the mounting hole diameter. Well it turned out that it was actually the overall diameter. So a bit ago I designed an adapter and printed it! Works pretty well, looks pretty decent. I thought I had more pictures to post. But I don't....Moving shops soon? Bigger shop, smaller bathroom, pretty sweet. Will post pics of that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
