Drilled a hole in the firewall and mounted the clutch assembly. (was a auto car before)
Removed and transferred in the new evaporator and expansion valve.

I think what it needs is a reduction in WGDC in the 4000-4500 area, but that could be gear dependent.Quote:

Autocrossed the crap outta it today at the NG. We had a great course today! You only needed to focus on improving your times and not have to worry about trying to not DNF. I don't think we had a single DNF this year, compared to maybe 20 - 25 last year.
Not really for mine, but I landed some more valve cover cores to make "pretty" again. :P
Been busy between the move and work, I'll try to update at some point this coming week.
For now, been contemplating scrapping my shell and trying to find a better one to work with. Clearly has had some unibody damage/tweaking, wiring harness has issues (although I do have new harnesses to fix that) and tons of rust and corrosion on the chassis and subframe pieces as well as fasteners.
Holding out hope for a blue 94/95, or a black 98, but shells seem to be getting harder to find these days. Already have engine, turbos and trans, not sure I'd make enough parting that stuff out on a car to justify buying a running VR4 to put my stuff into.
At any rate, also have an offer on my short block I'm considering. Would suck to sell and then find a good shell, but we are definitely hurting for cash after this move with some expenses coming up soon. Stupid life decisions.
Also have to try to find a good commuter car (or bike) since I'm traveling a little over an hour each way for work..the truck ain't gonna cut it.
Pretty amazing stuff! Ok not really.
First and foremost, was trying to get the new car started, troubleshooting spark issues, and it seized. Completely seized, even busted the starter in the process lol! No worries though, I'm not using that engine and can part it out more than it's worth as a whole (2 bolt). Only benefit from getting it running was a straight through and easy inspection/registration.
Also, I had to strip apart the interior in the back to get to the bumper bolts. While I was at it I did a couple other small things. I stripped down the back seat area and cleaned it all up underneath, replaced one of the speaker panels as it was torn up from the sun, vacuumed up gross spare tire area, replaced fuel pump access panel, cleaned drain hoses (they were bad!), and then primed and sprayed the rear corners where the cars are rust prone. Turned out pretty nice!
