 To do the hydro easy go to look up hush22 for bracket or make one like I kinda did

[Tim]

Slicks are 24.5 on 13 inch exospeed (lenso)

I have 2 spare cable b16 trans I can throw in, also have two hasport cable to hydro conversion brackets I could use with one of my hydro b16 trans.

Doubt I'll do either as the car is just my fun street beater to hurt young punks feelings and do burnouts in. Doubt I'll do anything drastic to it.

Moved on to an 88 crx pile of junk. Might start a build thread some day, might sell it.

[Tim]

Also I think I fixed the link to the vid at the bottom of page 2
My phone hates photobucket

[Tim]

My son drew a picture at my parents house when my sister was visiting.
when he explained it to me he pointed out a bunch of impressive details and the smoke behind it.
I thought damn he sees everything he even knows my car smokes.

He said no it was from the burnout...
busted haha.

Awesome burnout drawing 

[Tim]

Guess I never updated this thread, but I offered it to my wife, she didn't want it since she didn't build it. Then broke a piston while I was building the crx, so I parked it.
I sold the charge piping, intercooler, and wheels and told her to have fun.

Rebuilt the trans last weekend, replaced the broken piston tonight.
I'm into it for the $8 machine shop charged me to press the piston.
Synchros and springs from free scrapped trans.
New rings from the leftovers box.
Ball hone to knock down some of the scores.
Might replace the head gasket, may see if I have a used one lying around.
I'll post some new pics tomorrow, photobucket still sucks.

After it sitting for almost 2 years in my driveway the cops showed up the day after I started working on the trans. Against ordinance, New neighbor called and I have 60 days before I get to tell them to Fuck off. They didn't follow their own procedure they handed me a copy of. I'm not paying any fine.

[Tim]

6 months pregnant and gets pissed if anyone tries to do anything for her.





shitty vid of back in the day.

[Tim]

Not bad


Hmm getting worse


WTF


Just stop


I didn't realize my buddy shut my gas off when I walked in the house for a second.
Fuck it, nothing on the car is pretty.

[ohisofly]

Looks good to me 

[Tim]

broke that one bolt off and just started welding everything.  looks perfect to me

[boosted 00 black si]

BOSS!!   

[Tim]

Waiting on someone to cut the dash into my crx cage so I decided to make this pos mobile since it's just sitting in my driveway and getting the cops called.

Welded up a battery tray.


Welded a vband, o2 sensor bung, and a mount bracket to the downpipe.


Finished my traction bar.
Cut the stock radius rods down


Cut a $20 swaged tube in half


Slid them together. Welded the end and threw a couple plug welds in the middle for good measure.

Nice progress 

[Tim]

This thing has been waiting for me to finish the shortest list possible, and a tune.

On start up it sounded like it was on 3 cylinders, so i threw a stock map sensor and injectors in.
Still sounded like shit so i left it in the driveway for a week or 2.
Turns out when i swapped maps I never plugged the stock one in, fires up and idles like a stock car now.

Old garage laptop got something corrupted and goes straight to bsod on start up.
didn't feel like pulling the hard drive.
that has been the status for a few weeks.
Just tried to boot that laptop into safe mode, it worked. Now I can load the old tune that should be pretty close and at least won't sound like a subaru with the 1000s and 3 bar.
might even go over the suspension bolts and start to drive this thing to work.

[brine04]

I like that battery mount, might steal the idea for mine 

[Tim]

Charged the battery last night.
Dont want to sound too ambitious, but I might work on this thing this week.

[Tim]

How is it possible that no one makes a vacuum cap worth a shit?

Pulled this pos in the garage and the coolant was low.  Figured I just never topped it off when i put the engine in.
3 separate leaks from eliminating the coolant lines to the throttle body and IACV.
Of course I had to lift it up 4 times because I found them one at a time.

3 bar and FID 1000s installed, old tune loaded.

She drove around town at 1:30 am Saturday.
Not really any brakes even though the pedal is rock hard.
What better way to break in a fresh trans then to aggressively downshift at every stop sign to prevent death.

[Tim]

Flushed new fluid through the brake lines while I checked everything over for issues.  Looks like pads just don't like to bite to rusted rotors.
Held the brakes on while I drove around, slightly better.
Probably throw a new set of rotors on since they're $9 each from rock auto.

Ran vac line to bov and wastegate. Actually started to build boost for a second until the BOV blew off, forgot its always been held on with a massive zip tie.
Feeling ambitious, might send the wife to Lowe's to get new mounting bolts and retire the zip tie.

New wheels on.
Still a rusty pos though.
driveway life has not been kind these last couple of years.

[Tim]

I ended up beating on this pos randomly over the summer, it really was a death trap.
Steering rack was sloppy as shit. front end bounced down the road like a basketball. exhaust fell off. Never retuned it just running an old tune hoping it didn't blow. rockers look to be soft in spots. Battery would randomly die like there was an intermittent drain. Sometimes got warm at stoplights.

Then a dirt track guy offered me a dumb amount of cash for the engine.
I pulled it last night and the part-out has begun.

It was a sad day, this car hurt a lot of feelings over the years, but the parts were worth way more than the car.
