:asshole: so we had to cut and splice the new one on and were going to solder the connections in tomorrow.
i remember on a 1j swap we did accidentaly broke a wire on the cps and it would stop everything from working try and make sure everything on that is hooked up and all the voltage's are right and i didnt read anywhere on this but if it is an auto to manual swap make sure to loop nuetral safety swith i forgot to do that and killed a whole day
OK and turbotoy you were sorta the winner but all and all me and lewis prevail (mainly lewis) see what seem's to be happening is the coil pack is not getting ground >_< but we have fixed the problem by grounding it back out. here is a video of the car started...enjoy.

I DROVE THE CAR TODAY!!!! got a coolant leak some where and a squeeky belt but other then that it drives. I'm a very happy camper so tomorrow its getting finished, More updates tomorrow later everyone.
So the car is just about complete getting a new break caliper from auto zone on friday as the driver side front is sticking wicked bad and i need to get the cat back done and there is a smoking problem going on but other then that THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES ^_^. I'm so stoked here are some pics of me and kotu100's cars for your enjoyment. More updates to come as it is tuned to perfection.

Yep thank you CX racing for the direct "bolt on kit" i was missing the bung for the bpv and what not thanks to lewis he had the intake pipe i needed and he was going hard pipe so we did an even trade. MEOWWW
I'm having some serious smoke issues >_< theres alot of smoke coming from the exhaust on this car im not sure what its from but im going to search the forums some and look to see if any oil is traveling through my intercooler tomorrow i wanna make sure no oils getting backed through the air system. I'll post some video of the smoke if i cannot figure it out tomorrow if anyone has any suggestions please they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
No not a blown head gasket it was litterly just replaced properly might I add with the help of kotu100. The problem was that I have an oil relocation kit and there is still a fitting coming off of the block for the stock oil cooler application. we plugged it and the plug simply ripped open spraying oil all over my DP. We made a high pressure cap with some high pressure tubing, hose clamps, and a nice thick bolt. Its no longer spraying oil or smoking so problem may be solved. I also got my inspection done today and past (tho I only needed safety) So i drove the car to work and there were no problems on the way here no funny smells and no smoke no stalling or noting we will see how the ride to get my GF after work fairs out. Till then later everyone.
NEW RUBBERRR. Hi everyone I know its been awhile since I have made my way on the mania. But the internet is down on my phone as well as at my house. >_< But its OK because I come bearing good suspension news. I put the order in for the new shocks they will be in tomorrow and my tanabe rear sway bar will be in as well on Thursday. I also threw some new Hankook Ventus HRII's on the car for some incredible handling wet or dry. To follow are the pics for the tires. Enjoy and when i get a chance ill be back updating once I start with the suspension work. ^_^ later.
& here's a pic of the car ^_^

It might be just me, but it looks like the car had suspension work already done. Pre 89s tend to look like a 4x4 truck on stock suspension.
Also KYB GR2's struts the rear 2 are blown but they just came in monday my internet is back up at my house to so it looks like i can get back on here. End links for the rear sway are the next purchase for this week going to see what i can do in finding some and getting them here by the weekend so everything can go in in one fallow swoop. Thanks for the imput and support guys it means alot. Until next time happy crusin ^_^
So here are some updates...Got my new KYB GR2 rear struts in on monday and my new Tanabe rear sway bar one thursday all are installed other then the sway bar gotta order new links from my school to put that on next weekend. The ride with the new stuts is amazing that and the added grip from the tires is our of this world. More pics of the car will be up once the suspension is squared away until then here are some pics of the parts prior to install. Enjoy ^_^
KYB GR2's not the best but will hold me over till i can get some decent coil overs in there.
Here is the Tanabe sway bar will be in next week as said above.
Here is the whole lot.
^_^ Until next time.
