Got the broken bolt out of the flywheel! A buddy has an end mill and offered to help.

Making progress. Dropping the flywheel off to be resurfaced tomorrow.

Great job resurrecting this Stealth so far, dude! I too am getting the opportunity to fix a ton of issues the past owners either neglected to fix or were the cause of...I can relate to the broken bellhousing issue.

We ought to start a loose association of 1G Firestorm Red Stealths.

So you still havent addressed the oil pressure problem?

So you still havent addressed the oil pressure problem?

Who do you think I am?

I just haven't had a chance to upload more pics and provide a proper update. I am bolting a transmission on right now.

She is up and running.

Clutch pedal needed some adjusting due to the machined flywheel. Got the AC working after a couple new seals and an r134a charge. Getting an alignment done tomorrow then she is ready for the NG.

New oil pump and thermal bypass valve and fixing the oil pressure sensor wiring fixed my oil pressure. All in, car was still cheaper than buying a properly maintained RT/TT. I will update with pics after the NG.

sounds like a hell of a project to finish right before NG! i saw you're signed up for roadcourse, are you taking this car? i'll bring a spare alternator, plugs, speed bleeders, 1g and 2g front rotor, and carbotechs, and dave will bring a spare clutch slave cylinder and all fluids. let us know if you need anything this week - i'll also be brining some spare 1-2 synchros for selling if you need to rebuild that trans.

btw, which clutch did you decide on? i posted in my clutch thread, the part # for the new south bend clutch with the ferramic material and OEM style hub. been driving it around this past week, it has the pedal pressure and engagement zone of a honda!

Never did make an update here. The car spun all connecting rod bearings at NG12 - a motor transplant in July had her back up and running by August of 2012.

Car made it to NG13 and is still going strong. Next plans are a transmission rebuild (or new transmission - based on the shape of the bell housing) then to start replacing and rehabbing the interior. We'll see what all happens before NG14.

Forgot to post some pics to back that last post up....




Rebuilt the turbos to get rid of metal shavings. Dropped in a new-to-me motor. This was all in 2012.

I haven't even put 3,000 miles on this engine and the latest oil change showed glitter in the oil again. Stay tuned.
