It's nearly time to turn the key....

Just waiting on some new driveshafts and the a/c compressor.

Well it started on the 3rd turn of the key and ran smooth after a timing and idle adjustment. It does however have what I believe is an air leak, when I sit it at around 2250rpm the revs die then come back constantly. I think it may be leaking around the injectors..... is it possible to remove them without removing the manifold??

Clean_Cookie · 12-09-2011, 07:16 PM

Yes. I did It when i turned my key and fuel sprayed out everywhere lol.

Jastel · 13-09-2011, 09:14 PM

Well I put new driveshafts in this arvo, bled the clutch and topped up the fluids. Took it for a drive and holy **** it went flawlessly..... not sure what the rev issue was before but it certainly isnt there now. I'm ****in stoked lol

Jastel · 14-09-2011, 06:50 PM

All done, $1900 later.....

Clean_Cookie · 14-09-2011, 07:23 PM

that looks excellent mate! well done. Id be very proud of myself if I managed that! where did you get the nice battery terminal covers?

project.r.racing · 14-09-2011, 07:47 PM

What strut bar is that?

Clean_Cookie · 14-09-2011, 07:49 PM

looks like a mazdaspeed one (mine has the same centre plate riveted on) with the ends sprayed black...

Chris_180 · 14-09-2011, 08:01 PM

Far out mate, that is amazing! As said earlier, you should be really proud of your efforts, I can only ever dream of being able to do the same!

Jastel · 14-09-2011, 10:19 PM

Thanks guys, I went out tonight and it now has a whole 22k's on the engine lol

The bar is a mazdaspeed and the battery terminals are Scosche ones which I got from JBHifi.

Jastel · 14-09-2011, 10:29 PM

I upgraded the grounds while I was at it lol

Jastel · 04-10-2011, 06:07 PM

Well I've now clocked up 1,150k's on the engine and am about to change the oil to a Penrite 10w40 Full Synthetic.
I noticed today that when the car is at running temp it has a tiny little 'miss' every now and then when at idle so I've ordered some new ignition leads and whipped the plugs out this arvo to have a look.
I thought they all looked rather good except this one from #3 cylinder which has some build-up on it. Not sure if it's the cause or result of the 'miss' or if I should be concerned about it?

#3 ignition lead may be worn a little more than the rest? Or possible injector in need of a clean? Not supplying enough fuel?

They'd be the first things I'd be checking! :P

Jastel · 11-10-2011, 06:33 PM

The new leads fixed the 'miss'

Jastel · 10-12-2011, 10:11 PM

Today I replaced the lower control arm bushes with Nolathane and put a new ball joint on the driver's side.

Chris_180 · 12-12-2011, 05:43 PM

Always love your build thread mate! Keep up the good work!

asanga · 22-12-2011, 02:54 PM

did you use a heat gun to heat the old bushes to get them out ?
