Havent been on here sence the changes, figured I would give it some time sence the changes, let the bugs work out. It is what it is.. I'll stick to this thread..

Chemist, is there space to fit climate control on that dash? Did you use a JDM center console to fit the gauges and radio? nice work

 

Since boosted chemist never put up pics of his interior I'm gonna assume that was directed at me?

I'm not putting a radio in. The gauges are mounted where the radio would be

 

Yes that is a jdm double din, the climate spot i am going to install a carbon fiber sheet and use it for my wideband guage and avcr.

 

Lol!

 

sorry vtecnician... i saw some pics a page or two back from chemist..

chemist, would you happen to know if you can still fit the climate control in that spot? i plan on doing a similar thing... just dont want to buy the jdm double din if it wont work anyway.

 

Got vtec working. Still don't think the butterflies are doing their thing though... I might actually end up just buying a damn skunk manifold if I can't get them to work. I hate adding wires and **** anyways.

 

vacuum holds the iab plate cosed. if yours arent working than theyre open all the time

 

UPDATES THUS FAR:

NEW LOOK DOWN THE TUBE
WON'T WORK OUT FOR REASON I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT BUT THE BUMPER AND FRONT FILLER HAVE A HORRID GAP THATS KKILLING IT FOR ME.
I EVEN WENT OUT A PURCHASED ANOTHER FRONT FILLER PIECE TO SEE IF IT WAS INFACT THE ONE I WAS USING AND IT DO NOT HELP

SO HERE IS A PICTURE WITH MY FILLER:



AND ONE WITH THE NEW FILLER
STILL HAVE THE GAP EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING THE FILLER





FIGURE IT JUST NOT GOING TO WORK WITH THE 88-89 BUMPER BECAUSE MY SiR FRONT BUMPER DOESN'T EVEN DO THAT

SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS INTERESTED I HAVE A 88-89 FRONT BUMPER WITH J'S RACING FRONT LIP FOR TRADE FOR A SiR BUMPER W/ A PASSWORD LIP

 

thats weird, i never knew the jdm filler curves up at the end where the headlights are at.

 

YEAH I GUESS I NEVER NOTICED IT UNTIL NOT EITHER BUT I HAVE LOOKED 2 EVERY PICTURE W/ MY SiR BUMPER ON THE THE BUMPER FALLOWS THE LINES OF THE FILLER.

THE NEW FILLER I HAVE NOW SITS BETTER W/ THE FENDERS ON THE EDGES BUT OTHER THEN THAT ITS THE SAME SHAPE

 

Has the car ever been in a front end wreck vega? Most ef's have by now and all that improper fitment may be from a botched repair or no repair at all. Hate to break it you but even your ef9 front end didnt fit up so well.

Have it professionally fixed or live with it. So far ive learned to live with a ton of flaws on mine.

On second look, your T support is NOT the correct one, or if it is look how its bolted on (indicating misalignment). I know the filler has a bolt in the middle and that screws into the "T". Ive installed more than a few ef9 front ends and on cars w/ out the necessary conversion parts or on previous wrecks and i wasnt able to install every bolt for that filler in order to get everything to look "good." Try leaving the center bolt off and see if u can get the filler to straighten out. Once u straighten it out, you are then able to loosen the bumper and push it up while tightening the support bolts.

 

THE TITLE SAYS CLEAN SO I'M THINK NO IT HASN'T
OR IF IT HAS IT WAS NOT DONE THROUGH INSURANCE.
I KNOW THE SiR FRONT DIDN'T FIT PERFECT BUT IT FIT A LOT BETTER THEN THE CURRENT STATE. THATS WHY I PURCHASED ANOTHER FILLER BECAUSE THAT WAS MOST OF THE PROBLEM. THE FENDERS NEED A TAD MORE TINKERING WITH.
THE ISSUE WITH THE T-BAR JUST HAPPENED.
THE HOOD I HAD BEFORE WAS FOR A EF3 AND THE HOOD I HAVE NOW IS FOR A EF9, I THINK THE T-BAR I HAVE IS FOR A EF3 BECAUSE I HAS THE MOVE THE LATCH UP FORWARD MORE BY DRILLING THE HOLES BIGGER. EVEN WITH THE HOOD LATCH AT THE FURTHEST POINT BACK IT STILL WOULD NOT LINE UP W/ THE T-BAR.
I HAVE THE FILLER BOLTED TO THE MIDDLE POINT OF THE T-BAR.
I TRIED DOING THE FILLER WITH AND W/OUT THE BOLT TO THE T-BAR AND THEY BOTH LOOK THE SAME.

 

so i installed my VTi guage cluster today and found out that either my coolant temp sending unit is bad or i got screwed on the cluster.

i got about 1/4 mile away from home and my temp gauge went straight to HOT.

when i got home, i unplugged the wire going to my sending unit and the gauge dropped down, but when shooting back up when i plugged it back in.

the engine was barely warm to the touch and was still full of coolant, so im sure it wasn't actually overheating.

 

Title status wont tell you much. Ive ran across numerous "clean title" cars that were worse off than a non repaired salvage car, lol.

After looking at all the front end pictures of my car, your filler simply dips too low in the middle. You can also confirm that when looking at your filler to hood gap as well as the inside corner of the headlight to filler gap.

The only thing left here is the entire front core support. I bet yours is tweaked.

It wouldnt hurt you to get the proper EF1 T support though. Its needed on our hatchbacks to do the conversion properly.

 

isn't the filler piece just bent?

 

there is still going to be a gap if I unbolt the filler from the T-Bar and the bumper is in the highest position I could get it to sit.

same filler on here but sits better

 

wheres my goddamn sticker!!!?/?????

 

YOU COULD HAVE VERY EASILY PM'D ME THAT

 

lol...sticker drama...

Vega, too bad your front end isnt working out...i was partial to the look for sure.

 

Carma's a bitch isn't it?

 

unforntunately I don't believe in carma.
Things just don't always work out how you planned

 

My friend chongo took a few pics of our cars. Hope you like . .
