Started it for the first time in a while. Took a little extra cranking be she fired up and idled good. Went ahead an added a little oil to get rid of the lifter tick.
Let's hope you're inspired to continue, Brian. :)Quote:

Love that car Erron, nice bike too. Need more pics of that bad boy when you get it together.
Mine is just sitting, I think it's the starter. Doesn't click or anything. I got it to start once just because I kept trying so at least it didn't leave me stranded.
After getting my WB/evoscan setup yesterday, I ordered a few things from 3sx that I've damaged over the years - DS snake eyes, DS AC vent, DS rear speaker cover, and both upper clip covers of the center console. Probably could have saved some money buying else where but screw it -- 3SX made it easy.
They also sponsor NG every year.Quote:

It has a blown engine and mine is ready, willing and able!
The owner picked me as much as I picked the car.
I'm so excited to take my car to the next level.
Oh Karen, you made me smile today.
Awesome Karen. About time you bought a car with a real gearbox :p
Just returning the favor Buddy!Quote:

Look what drove last night. Still has a laundry list of things to fix and tighten up here and there. But she was able to leave our house on her own power! Thanks Adam!
Preemptive answer, yes I have all of the under paneling and the OEM chin spoiler, they are just not installed yet. :)
Also, my AWS Oil dummy light came on during the drive and the steering started to feel like ass that I will have to address, but that was the only notable major issue I noticed during the drive.
I had to get the car up and going ASAP since we sold our home and are closing on Friday!

Good to see it rolling, John. :)

It's in good shape overall but has been sitting a few years.
Just needs some TLC
I'm looking forward to making this happen.
nah. it's perfectly understandable. young people prefer rowing machines. by the time someone gets tired of rowing gears, they are also usually tired of the platform. that's why the ATX hasn't gone anywhere--at least not in the 3/s world.Quote:

Got a new steering wheel and finally found a second gen bumper in decent shape, now all I need is side skirts.

Got my Fed Spec ECU and harness in the mail (thanks to DrGonzo)
One step closer to completely getting rid of all the Cali Spec stuff. I already had deleted EGR and gutted the precats, but that rear precat is a MAJOR pain in the ass.
Put me a strut bar in!

I will be either chroming it, or finishing the same as the plenum. Any thoughts?
match the plenum
I just love your car Bill.
Thanks Paul!
She will be a different girl very soon. Will be dropping in the flashed ecu to get it sorted before Nathan comes down to help with tear down for the new ponies. Excited!
Not a bad wheel, where did you get that?Quote:
