exactly man. since I can't buy the car I want for another 7 years I'm going for restoring my first car the way I want it. hopefully next paycheque + selling some stuff will at least get me the engine.

got the right rad cap this time...and suckered into the hoses at an amazingggg deal...pretty stoked on the deal :D haha...

The guys at A&J Racing are pretty rad IMO

sweet tits.

Ignition control giving me a full standalone. Yay Megasquirt. w00t w00t.
Need to retune the fuel map now, getting a lean surge during cruise...

96 saturn with megasquirt2 v2.368 with v3.0 board.

^ what are you driving? Megasquirt is ecu tuning software?

rust removed, Vertex body kit fitted,35mm Origin Lab fender arch's on..Now to prep for motor install(turbo'd 4agze) :)

Whoa!, Nice nice...keep us posted on the process man!!! looks dope.

no idea, depends how much i feel comfortable tuning to... i'm MAF limited to about 400hp, and stock internal limited to about 500whp, so i'm going to be somewhat conservative for now and see what i can make just running the wastegate spring, which is 7 psi... that's if i can ever get the fking thing back together... it's always the little shit that delays you!

i like the corolla. very cool cars

nice rolla!

so much money put into such an ugly car.
better drift it or your just wastin your money.

no need for hatin' on the rolla dude...

tossed a new filter on the GTI today, old one, which was originally red, was black... had an extra one sitting around so i decided to let the vr6 breathe a little easier :)

that gti is vr6 swaped? nice man thats on of the best sounding motors out there

Logan Zac and I installed some Cusco coilovers in my subie!

Pics to follow.

yep it is vr6 swapped... i'll stop by the auto-x this week maybe to give everyone a look at it lol

heat shield for the filter... those vr6's run HOT, so she needed some protection

zip ties ftmfw!!!

got G Hawks Tein coilovers up to about 70% done now. how was the ride home man?

how do oyu drive home without them completely installed? missing one of them? then shouldn't it be 75% done? hahah :p

yikes dude. thats sounds sketchy as HELL

underscore, do you have ANY mechanical knowledge and experience to be doing such a thing to another car yiou don't have to drive.

it was just one of the bolts were tight is fuck! we couldn't do anything about it. that's why i decided to leave that one for the shop. I even hurt my back trying too hard to unscrew the damn thing

which bolt was it? did you use pb blaster on it? big ass breaker bar and hitting it with a hammer?

you'd be amazed at what you can do without an impact wrench... just have to learn to feel when it's going to break vs break loose!

wow someone else knows about this. that stuff is awesome

i wont use any thing but

we had my big breaker bar and that would just get the nut and bolt to rotate a little bit but not loosen. so we had one of us hauling on that with the other one hauling on a regular ratchet. we also drowned it in WD40.

the only other thing left to be done is plug the electonics into the struts themselves...and it looks like you need to drill holes for the rears.

and yes I have mechanical knowledge and experience. He needed the room and tools to do the install and noone else was offering so I did.

Got an alignment today.

-2.0 camber in the front
-1.5 in the rear
0 toe
