those rims are off the chain! ill trade you the wheels in my sig for those! lol

about AI, i have had the same coolingmist kit on two different cars for a couple years with no issues. mine is the progressive kit though.

I think you are overpaying :rofl: The other front wheel is a yellow spare :leaving:

I havent picked the front wheels up yet that I bought from the guy in nashville 8 months ago:) Hopefully he still has them as I have paid for them. I still need to order the adapter also.

The car has been driven less than a mile, until I get some decent matching wheels on there I dont want to drive it. I have a set of tires coming in for stock rims so I can roll around on that for awhile. I have a feeling I will be dropping the trans soon as I dont think I can handle the lightweight flywheel:banghead:

better than having eclipse wheel's.. but then again your car wasn't raped and thrown in a ditch for dead..LOL is the inside tan or black ?

Whats left is black. The car has a 4 point cage, door panels, driver seat and dash, and most of the main carpet. Nothing else :)

Woke up about 7:30 A.M. and went to get the new/used tires mounted on some stock rims so I could have a full set of matching wheels/tires to drive on. Got back and changed them out in between painted some engine parts for a customers rebuild. Fire the car up and begin to drive down the road and the car goes into limp mode(I am still using the auto computer even though the car is swapped.) Turned around and headed back to the garage.

Pulled the codes and the first code that registered was #5 which I knew from memory was knock sensor, I continued to read the other codes just for laughs. The auto ecu does not like all the stuff I deleted. :)

Switch out the knock sensor and went down the road for hte second time that day, the car ran a little pissy at first but after 2-3 miles in 3rd gear it was smooth sailing. I put about a total of 15 miles on it today, took it up to 8lbs a couple times and it pulled great(keep in mind I have let this car idle about 4-5 hours already for those wondering about break in).

I dont condone my actions on a fresh rebuild without a break in but if you knew the parts used to build the engine in my car I could care less what happens to them, and I can rebuild it for next to nothing.

Oh well, It was just nice to really get to drive the car for the first time in about two years. Not so nice to realize all the stuff I stole off the car to fix other cars. In the coming months the plans are as follows:

Install a stock flywheel, the lightweight shit isnt for me :)
Install the R1 seats
Get the 99 spec front end and feed hood painted and installed
Install MOMO steering wheel
Install auto trans speed sensor so I have some working gauges.
Delete ABS
Once all the above is done I am shooting to run some 7 sec passes in the 1/8th on the stock ecu and street tires just for shits and giggles. Likely in the fall it will be time for a big single etc and some 6 sec 1/8th mile times.

Glad to hear you got to drive her around a little. She's been all dressed up and waiting on that date you promised her for some time :D Look forward to you bringing it out to the track once everything settles down. Something about you getting married in less than a week? :rofl: Expect your FD to spontaneously combust when it finds out she isn't the only one.

come on now.. you ain't gotta lie to us...

I made a promise to myself that car would be drivable before the wedding, I shouldnt have really spent time on it yesterday but it had to get done. I had it sitting in front of the house when the fiance pulled in, she just said, "oh great, now you are spending time on that thing" :) She hates my cars which makes me happy.

I hope to do some events in the fall, the car has a long way to go though before being ready. Im shooting for late July mid August before I make any public appearances.

I just see working on my car as a safe and ethical way to "cheat". My girlfriend knows she's not the only one in my life and she has to accept that. It does get tricky when I spend 78234x more money on my car than girlfriend... :rofl:

Well the car has been running for quite a while but I just havent had time to finish everything up that needs completed. I have put about 200 miles or so on it and even actually drove it to work today. In this short amount of time I have found numerous things that need attention and realized even though a stripped down car is not the most pleasant ride, it is a lot of fun for a 10lb stock twin car when you mash the gas. Hopefully over the next couple months Ill find time to start tuning and get the boost up around 16-17lbs.
