update time:


I finished installing the intercooler. I drilled 2 holes into the bumper for the mounts on the IC, as far back as possible so I didnt have to cut any more of the bumper cover. I originaly was going to drill larger holes so the the IC mounts could raise up into the bumper, raising it like 3/4 of an inch.
The bumper isnt attached yet because I gotta tow her home soon.





cover on
and I dremeled off parts of the grill to fit the IC clean it up a bit








some other goodies

junk yard battery tie down:


after a little loven:



bleeder valve for coolant, yay!




next update will most likely be new (not edm) aux lights for the time being. Mine are cracked, broken, rust and fogged.
Ill also try to get the fuel pump and kill switch in the next one, if money is good.

OldSkoolDa91

very nice man. congrats! cant wait for more updates!!

xide_12

small update:
-rewired aux lights power supply
-installed new aux lights
-re-attached bumper
-put on bleeder valve


got these to replace my old lights


old ones, they're cracked, faded, and over sprayed


I hate salty roads and rust


wire brushed and painted the supports to stop any more rust


on the car


bumper on


haha I might look at her too much, it seems like a huge difference to me


and I painted the support bar, looks a lot better

xide_12

I rewired the auxilery lights so you dont need the headlights on. it was acutally realy easy

1) take the switches out and the bezel off
2) "T" the power supply of the defroster switch with some wire
3) and take the other end of the wire and replace it with the aux light switch power supply, cap off the unused end of the aux power supply(its not needed anymore
4) put it back togather



switches off


bezel off


power supply off the defroster switch (black with a yellowish strip)


new wire added


power supply of the aux switch (red with white strip)


reconnected with useless wire capped off


coming together


yay :D

nicee

z6htch

updates!?

xide_12

none right now, Im still waiting for some parts. but Im gonna try to do some free things to like simple green the suspension areas, and my keys for my trunk and locks/ignition are different so ill try to re-pin the trunk lock so I only need one key.

xide_12

well I finished the trunk lock, really easy took less than an hour. but I got one key now!


the lock is held in by one 10mm bolt, here it is


I got a extra lock from a junk yard. and I took the plates off to swap them around until the key turns in the cylinder


oiled up the plates and organized them by the numbers on them. the numbers correspond to offset. a higher number will stick out from the cylinder given the same key is used


old trunk lock with ignition key:


after I switched the plates around
theyre all flush


all back together and it turns




I also picked up the supplies for two different types of kill switchs, and I got some sweet spots picked out. Ill install those when I put in the fuel pump

OldSkoolDa91

any write ups on re-pinning locks? that'd be pretty handy information to have

xide_12

This explains it better than I can. its actually extremely easy

xide_12

and I got some new parts:
-Golden eagle vacuum manifold
-trunk release lever and cable
-license plate lights, I dont have them for some reason




teflon taped and apparently I have to drill out the plugs


trunk release. I need to change the lock, the level covers, and shorten the cable


and the harness needs some work



Ill try to get some work done tomorow

DeLSoLRo

Good write up!

xide_12

just order all the stuff I need for the oil lines, and my fuel pump still hasent arrived yet

Im working 55 hours a week and a taking few classes so updates are slow, but im banking money now!

VDCdatatech

Looks really good keep it up

OldSkoolDa91

good deal. make that bank and then finish her up

xide_12

update time
I put the vac manifold in

first step:
drill out the plugs with a 1/4" drill bit
I drilled all six just in case. I can just plug the unused ones, its better than removing all this again if I have to drill it again


remove the wiper blades


bend them and pull them off the stud


pull out these 7 plugs CAREFULLY, I broke 3 of them really easily. then pry out the 2nd piece





remove these, I think there like 10 of them
just pinch the bottom and pry them out




close to the brake booster line, looks like a good place to mount it


13/64" holes


all mounted, the booster line kind of blocked the nipples so I cut it little shorter for room


3way 3/8" nylon connector


mostly done. Ill grab some vacuum line and hose clamps next time Im at the junk yard, lol no way its gonna stay looking like this


engine bay as of now





tomorow I only have to work in the morning so Ill remove the rear storage bins for the kill switch and prep for the fuel pump

xide_12

I got the storage bins out today, took about 2 hours because I didnt know what I was doing

so heres a pic dump:


first take a seat out. Its not neaded but it will make it A LOT easier


next remove these 4 screw
theres 2 on each side in the same location


and 1 screw in the cup holder


pry it off with a flathead
I used the cloth so it doesnt scratch anything


disconnect the cigarette lighter


pull it off with the ebrake engaged


then roll down the back window and pry it off from the top
try to pry on both ends at the same time so it doesnt crack or anything


this wall looks brand new, hmm



then theres 2 screws holding on each speaker grill
pry it off when the screws are removed


lol missing a speaker too

xide_12

theres 2 screws on each bottom side of the bins


and 2 in each bin
so 8 total holding the bins


pry it off


some more prying


all gone


heres the fuel pump. Im all good to go when it finally arrives..


lol huge tunk space, the bottom board is still in too


and you can run wires to the trunk with no drilling at all




thats it for the removal. I also cleaned up these stain on my bumper, I used 220 then 1000 grit sandpaper and simple green.


driver side done


and gotta have the wheel turned pic




next update will be:
-the oil lines and taping the oilpan
-fuel pump hopefully
-and Im gonna dremel out one of the cup holder holes so an arizona tea will fit! i love those

xide_12

had the day off got some things done
-got oil lines
-installed fuel pump
-installed kill switch
-installed trunk release
-replaced interior
-bored out cup holder for larger drinks



oil drain


oil feed


built in oil restictor


its long enough for 2 drain lines lol

yay oem nuts and bolts!


had an extra thermometer and put it in the overflow tank, now i can now the exact coolant temp


dremeled cup holder


yay big cup holder

xide_12

fuel pump time


I cringed when I opened it up, soo much rust
I had to chisel all the rust off then hammer a 10mm socket on the 6 main bolts






pump out


looks cool


new walbro 255lph on and old fuel pump next to it


yay for new bolts
