Bought a new motor for it...

Actually its for another car. But I did put new battery terminals on the vr4 last night and did some tuning. I'll be messing with launch control more tonight to try and get everything dialed in before the track this Friday.
Been restoring my subframe for a couple weeks now, all new pressed bushings, grinding, paint, coilovers, adjustable control arms, aws delete, brake lines, rotors, pads ;o so much stuff. Once this is done i'll be starting to get parts for my 19T build
Busted out the orbital today rather than hand polishing. Paint "restoration" on an old faded car is so freaking fun and rewarding!

Well I Am getting ready to pull the 4 bolt motor out of the 94 parts car I bought. Ive been ordering gaskets, pumps, and parts to rebuild this one and drop it in with 9b's and all my bolt ons. Going to just do a mild stock build for street fun and reliability.
I think i have found 2 potential buyers for my built 2 bolt block so im pretty happy to get it moved out.

More progress has been made on pulling the motor. The wiring harness has been pulled from the interior and the only things remaining to be disconnected are the fuel lines and the PS lines.
Getting my DSM SMICs ready to send to Bob to have them converted. Completely cleaned the inside and out of the cores.

Put a new battery in it. the old one would be completely dead after letting it sit for 2 weeks.
He does great work!! Mine turned out looking very nice & I intend to powder coat the chambers & pipes & use some EW radiator paint for the fins to give them an OEM appearance.Quote:

Fired up the old laptop to log what's going on....
Noticed the lcdbc would show a higher peak knock count than I see while watching it. After watching knock on the HHH dash I realized the lcdbc is updating a little slower than the HHH. As a result I have been experiencing more knock than I was fully aware of.
Think I might be ready for a Stage 2 Pampena shorty, but that ain't gonna happen until I do a leak down and some other testing.
Today has been one of those days when I struggle to stay motivated:( I could just push it off a cliff... I'll get the motivation back, but I think we've all been there!
I did get a tour of Beyond Redline in Green Bay. Great guys, cool place and a bunch of really rad rides there. JRink's beast might have been there too, very cool, very very cool.
Ordered a clutch kit for it.
Got my car ready for the track tonight. Washed it, changed the oil, messed with launch control, removed my sub box/trunk floor and made a bracket to secure my meth tank without it, filled my meth tank, and put my cf sunroof on. I also finally put my extremepsi shift knob in. The 3sx short shifter was the same thread size as oem, but for some reason the knob wouldn't screw onto it. It threaded on fine to the stock shifter assembly. I ran a tap down the 3sx shifter to cleanup the threads and then it fit just fine.
