alright so i wasnt able to start my car for a couple of days, till today!
it would crank but it wouldnt turn on so after fucking around with if for like 14 hours on friday it still wouldnt work. i had came to the conclusion my car had a bad ignitor and i had fried my ecu. so i was panicking trying to find a new ecu and ignitor luckily i found a ecu locally and was gonna borrow a q45 ignitor and give that a try.
But dave came through tonight and after messing with it and doing some research i had connected the ignitor wrong and my fuel lines where on backwards, after we switched that up it started right up lol. so i saved 85 bucks on a new ecu lol
also put in my interior and got some tires for my front wheels!
im so pumped that its working now. all i have left is to bleed my brakes, put spacers on, wire up mu bc, tt, gauges and put in fluids. shouldnt take long at all hopefully

I want to see some body pics of this bad boy.
Aero/metal/Ks wing/height combo looks to be a killer

Hey man! This this is coming out to be pretty sweet (not surprised) even in very unfinished form. What's up with the seat sitting so high though? I saw Edgar and you chatting about it. Is the seat just THAT wide or are the rails you have not the best for that application?

thanks guys!
sunday Tomy and Dave came through and helped me bleed the brakes, replace the rear seal on the trans and put in my spacers! car should be good to go once we make a quick run to tf this Friday. so ill get pictures of it on the driveway hopefully by saturday!
yeah i have Buddy club rails with those weird as brackets and at the lowest setting the seat bottoms out. the seat is just way to wide and the way i have it, it hits the automatic seat belt thing, window, ebrake and my head just has enought room to clear the roof. lower mounts should probably help i think

Okay so the car is pretty much done now. But while we where bleeding my coolant system i checked my gauges and my oil pressure gauge wasn't reading anything. It just stayed at zero. So I got all paranoid as always and I checked the pan and it has a dent. So I'm thinking I either have a bad sensor or my oil pickup is fucked.

Dude. Buy a cheap fuck gauge from autozone or something.
I still think you are fine. But it wouldn't hurt to really find out.
And by that I mean using a different gauge.

Thanks y'all
So the whole oil pressure thing pretty much solved its self after I just checked the wiring.
Ill get pics once I can actually drive this thing.
Tonight Dave came through and we replaced my brake master since it was leaking and we bled the whole system the right way. Bench bleeding and all.
But now when I turn the car on and press the brake pedal I hear a hissing sound like air is leaking. So I'm guessing I have a bad booster? Does anyone know if that's it or why it would hiss?
I was really looking forward to getting to drive it this weekend. Sucks

Did you check the vacuum line off the booster under the hood?

Yeah, that sounds like your booster for sure. Had the same shit happen to me once, had to repeatedly smash the pedal to build any pressure at all too.
Changing boosters is gay, carny hand bolt work under the pedals.

yeah i swapped boosters and for some reason it still makes that hissing noise. couldnt figure out what the fuck is going on with that shit
so i was like fuck it and drove it around the block for a bit. pedal still feels a bit funky compared to daves but it actually holds pressure and stops the car when i want it too. we went for a drive after that and now ive been driving it everyday
also made my own mirrors for my ganadors so i can actually see from them instead of fixing my front ride height ahaha

sup yall! its been a while. no real progress lately but id figure id post some pics from last year
pretty much just drove my car around the city during the summer but not as much as i should have. my efan took a shit on me the day we all left to club fr jam and it sat at tomys place for like a month and once i got it home i started the longest diff swap ever that took a month too lol
then i decided i wanted to drive the last us41 event with trucky and tomy. the night before the event me and trucky busted ass and managed to swap a shit axle, put in my welded, put in my ps lines and fix a wheel wobble caused by a bent rotor
got like three hours of sleep and took off the next morning
got a cool pic. it was fun driving even if i kept spinning out most of the time lol. i deff need more seat time
car currently is just sitting in the garage under a pile of furniture since my house is getting remodeled. once the remodel is done with i can hopefully tackle the noisy lifters and misc shit i have planned for it

Aww yeah, now were talking. That just took this car from 6 to midnight for me.
Only thing I have to say is that rear fitment is too tuckysunk and needs more aggression. Front is tall in comparison too. But yeah. Fire. Also, almost everything on this car is refreshing and original. Good job dude.
