[jinx]

Any updates?

[MD323]

Not much to update yet, parents left saturday night and I've been busy with work since. Ill have some updates tonight seeing as the rest of the week it will be pouring from earl's feeder bands

[jinx]

You're welcome to come barrow garage space to work in if you need it.

[MD323]

Ill probably take you up on that after it actually runs. Just need to finish a bit more wiring then it should start.

[MD323]

UPDATE:

it runs again!!
after having issues with a small flood and my wiring i found out my fuel pump relay bit the dust, so after jumping the wires it started the first try on the base map.

notable inclusions on this version of ShawnsZE323pileoparts:

KLG4 coilpacks
36-1 crank pulley
no distributor
shaodome built MS

BTW instead of running that cap in the coolant hose, you can just drill and tap a nipple on your coolant neck and then jstu run a hose off there into a resavoir

thats what ive done and i never see temps higher than 190 unless im at a long ass stop light

[MD323]

I have seen the nipple in the water pipe setup, and as soon and the car comes back apart I will be doing something similar but I'm out of time right now.

Besides, this car is simply my rolling proof of concept. ill be rethinking a lot of stuff when its down again$

[4gethonda]

ya i no how it goes i just wanted to let you know

[MD323]

OK so updates and such..

since my last update I have:

been to the dyno twice to get my car tuned
drove the hell out of it.
replaced a few maintenance items (dam Alt belt blew up on the dyno)


to be done is the next few days:

new few box wiring to be installed (thanks jinx/m323)
finish welding on the exhaust, maybe install a flowmaster muffler again.
pull out my engine harness and shape up its overweight ass
pull the cowl and fix my water leak
mount all my gauges and make the tach/speedo work again. (curious on what i can do with the MS once is has a MPH reading.. hmmm)
put on new tires, mine are dead (see: drove the hell out of it)


to do before the end of the year:
get a set of D2 coilovers
put in my front swaybar
replace brakes all the way around
redo clutch line
replace radiator setup





hopefully once my wideband is here Ill be logging some more hours to do some behind the wheel tuning.
