Great news man!

So since the car works now I decided I could order stuff for it and not feel bad. I got a RB oil filter pedestal and an oil pressure gauge. I think mine is not working right.

I also think im going to order some stuff for the interior from LRBSpeed and Techno Toy.

Tomorrow after i get done with my last class I think ill get back under the car and move the drive shaft around ... lots of vibes, and probably get the new trans mounts in.

The vibes are probably the tires being hella flatspotted!!!!

You need to make, or have made (cough......Zach......cough) a triple gauge DIN plate, and get yourself a water temp and oil temp gauge.

I just might as him. Im trying to think of good ways to mount that are easy to see. I suppose a DIN panel would work.

No worries, I can try at least.

djmtsu · 05-02-2017, 08:01 AM

Zach's DIN plate was mine, then I sold it to someone in Ohio(?), then Zach bought it from him. It has come back home!!

Lol

For now i'll probably mount it to the top of the steering column cover. The gauge comes in today.

careful with that area... the plastic is old and brittle and hard to find replacements (bc they break on removal)

Good point. Turns out it wont be able to go there anyway. I dont have a pod. Ill have to find a new place for it.

Got my new trans mounts and cross member installed today. Wiggled my drive shaft around too. Doesn't seem to have much play in it so I guess that means im ok on that front?

FC Zach · 05-03-2017, 05:45 PM

Yeah, stay away from the steering column. They're as brittle as a lays potato chip.

project86 · 05-03-2017, 07:00 PM

Just remembered i found a big, ass spider living in my trans tunnel..... gotta burn the car.

project86 · 05-04-2017, 01:30 PM

I've made a discovery...

I have the car on stands right now so I could do the trans crossmember and mounts.

I decided i'd start it up while it was off the ground and see if I could feel the vibrations I was talking about while the car wasn't in motion. Turns out I can. So that rules out the drive shaft for sure.

Any ideas what it could be?

tires

They are new and balanced. And its happening without the car moving. I had a short chat with Myles and he's thinking engine mounts.

ahh didn't see that part...

after you do mounts really the only place left would be clutch/flywheel area, which isn't the end of the world, just need to get in there
