[Andrew93]

lol i could, well see what i will find something out...also found out one of my friends gpa's owns a shop close by and they do painting too so imma see how much for a full paintjob and do it full black, otherwise i can get a basic paint job for cheap and leave it white so i dont need to do door jams etc

Alright so its bee awhile and alot of shit has happened so ill try and recap as best as possible....

recently finished everything basically, rewired the distributor, re-routed some vaccum hoses because of the differences in b18b and b18a intake manifolds (rather easy is switch over actually), changed the oil, tranny fluid, bleed the breaks, replaced under dash fuses, hooked up the wiring harness radiator etc...

so yesterday or the day before we went to try and start it to test for power, and if you turned the key 1 click the lights went on etc nothing when holding it open(or however u want to phrase turning it)... so we went and found the starter relay up on the heater...etc anyway wasn't the prob, and then we noticed some of the wires on the engine bay fuse box were melted and we thought it may have been the prob but its just for the back lights and the defogger( ill fix that after)
then today my dad was looking at it while i was in class, and there was a second relay for the clutch in the very back on the firewall so finally got power to the starter.....then we made sure the fuel pump was still good and then tryed to crank it...then i realized the fuel was just shooting into the bay...the hose never got attached to the firewall from the regulator....thats when i rewired the IM to work in the DA.... still wouldnt start up....so we checked power to the fuel injectors, they had power so we checked if they were spraying, just unhooked the rail and faced them into a garbage bag....sure enough theyre bad, i took an injector from the b18b(didnt fit my harness so i couldnt use them) and hotwired it to the engine and it sprayed perfectly.

then we looked at it and the front axles werent right so we took them off and guess what advanced gave me two right hand axles but one was actually in the left hand box because i checked the code vs the website... also my clutch is sticking to the floor because my throw out bearing is fucked up so i have to drop the tranny again.


alot of shit in the last 2-3 days...but it will be done by sun.

 

[Andrew93]

so after tranny was fixed up it still wasnt working to alil bit to figure out but the da's ecu wasnt matching so we put the old dizzy on and she started up. so im going to clean it up alil and take some pictures before and after i get the paintjob and tint.....going to register it in the morning and get that baby on the road
