Well I did a horrible job of recording the initial start-up but the car did start up just fine. Next step is to work on the transmission mount, pull engine/trans out and button everything right up so this hunk of junk can get back on the road...

 

The jwt clutch is very nice and will hold anything you can throw at it.

 

Update. The car is back on the road. I'm excited to finally be able to drive my car.

 

Dem gears tho!!!!!

 

Its nice

 

God its been ages, 4th gens look so archaic good yob on le swap tho!

 

Thanks aackshun.

I'm case anyone is wondering, schmellyfart is making a batch of these timing rings that have just been proven to work. PM him for more details and to reserve yours in case you ever plan on doing the 6 speed swap. Do it soon, as he want to get this 1st batch in by the 18th of this month.

 

I've just decided to go ahead and order them all on Friday. It would take too long to get deposits from all of the window shoppers.

 

That's what I like to hear...

 

Here is small update. Spring semester is finally over so Il have plenty of free time to do some stuff to my car lol.


Here is what my car looks like all put together... Not bad..



Also overhauled my A/C, just to prepare for what is known as the triple digit fun here in AZ.



Here is another picture I took just because...



More updates to come. Il be installing my wideband and emanage soon and modifying my abs bracket to fit since I don't like the idea of the abs module flopping around while driving.

 

Omg i thought I was the only one with those rims on a 4th gen

 

Hey does your car's speedometer seem to be off a bit?

 

Like the actual speed? Yeah it does feel like its off by like 3-4mph I've always wondered if it was the wheel/tire combo I have now. Do you have the same issue?

 

Sharp minds think alike...

 

Yea my mph is off like 10 mph....my radar detector say 55 my speedo say 65ish and i don't know if its the whole cluster its self because I've replaced it once already but not because of the mph

 

Finally got around to installing my wideband. Happy with the results.

Neat

 

New fuel economy numbers are in. Just under 27mpg (26.96 according to my calculations)
Should pay off in the long run. Keep in mind my car is practically stock (hehe) weight wise as I have done practically no weight reduction.


Next up SSIM. Gave it a semi decent polish. Should have it installed in the next day or two hopefully.

 

For future reference in case someone stumbles on my thread.

I haven't done anything significant to my car unfortunately but I did do a 3.5 swap in a friend's 4th gen. Here are some pics...
