Up to about 600 miles. On Sunday I decided to finally swap to the '85 fuel rail

All this and it's still dieseling... next step is checking the actual fuel pressure

Damn dude, keep it up!

Fuel pump/accumulator/filter bushings replaced

So... I went to the dyno today.

The aftermarket cat I had installed 3 years ago started blowing chunks on the during the second pull so we stopped. I guess it's time to install the headers and build an exhaust, then go back to the dyno.

Went to autocross
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...F1130D60BE.jpg

Got some brakes
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...B3C8F4FA0C.jpg

Then I had an accident
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...67BE79D6F4.jpg

So I took it apart
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...47931338FF.jpg

And bought a parts car

Got my brakes back from the rebuilder
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...175AB5C560.jpg

Goodbye parts car... gave it to a friend to use the sheet metal to replace rust on his Schnitzer E21
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...6241E8A1A1.jpg

Just need to figure out what front end I want to use. My buddy has an Alpina spoiler for a late car, I might do that.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...89B8DE6BDF.jpg

Or I might do like this guy and make my own out of metal
Attachment 22680

Either way, I need to figure something out before the 12/12 autocross. I like my BBS spoiler but I feel like doing something different in front.

Jesus that's a hell of a hit! What's the details on the accident if you don't mind. You were unharmed, obviously. No lingering pain?

Great job on the rebuild!

So that is why the silence over the past few months, You've been busy.
Sorry about the accident but she leaves! . . .stronger.

Damn, that's a bit of a roller coaster, but you seem to be in high spirits either way. Keep up the work (and the photos you post)!

Holy cow JP! +1

Wow. Glad you are ok and a master at bodywork.


Thumbs, iPhone, TaT.

Damn JP, nice work. Body flex is a concern now though I guess. Keep her alive as long as you can.

Thanks guys!

Justin, it was late at night and I didn't notice the black Nissan Hardbody stopped under a bridge until it was too late. I tried braking and swerving, but my stock pads and 4LTL rack was not adequate. My back was hurting for a while but it's better now

John, body flex isn't much of an issue as the core support doesn't actually do that much for the car. Also, I've been planning to build an Alpina style brace to strengthen up the front (it ties the two frame rails together), I just haven't had time.

Nice update JP. Glad you're ok.

Bluetooth distributor c/o Le Tran @ 2002 Garage Werks

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...8CB40EB9CE.jpg

She runs, drove her right onto the lift. Fired right up once I got the distributor in place correctly, I love M10s!

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...8C55B6ADBF.jpg

I would never have thought to put Bluetooth into a distributor, but here we are. How do you like it?

Photobucket doesn't work anymore. All we get is this:

Damnit

Things are happening

It stinks that many of the images on the forums are now MIA with the recent change at Photobucket. These are from my Photobucket albums - the tii & ZHP. I copied the IMG info for the hosted PB image & pasted it directly into the message box here, not using this forum's "Insert Image" icon from the menu. It works, I think!

Love it. Wished they'd have kept the interior a little less racey.
