Super productive day.
I was able to do the following:
fix my brake squeal. (anti-squeal goo on pad backs)
fix my TPS.
fix my wobbly crank pulley, replaced it with one off my old motor, the a/c section was crooked and it was noisy, like birds chirping.
This lead me to have to redo my timing belt. A bolt sheared off and i couldn't remove it. So I replaced the plate that the pulley bolts to. When tightening the main bolt, I made the lower cog jump a few teeth :(
Install an amp, head unit, and new door speakers. Coaxials with tweeters and crossovers. Cut 2" holes in my door panels and affixed the tweeters in a pretty nice looking fashion. Sounds amazing. I'll do headrest speakers eventually, but this car had no wiring for anything. There wasn't even an illumination wire or any speakers wires on the factory harness.
regapped my plugs to .040"
Semi-shrouded my IC and Rad. Basically bolted an aluminum panel form the front bumper straight across and then attaches at the fans behind the rad. Still need to do the sides, but this is a step in the right direction.
Things I didn't get to:
Build my extractor hood.
flash hi-res code
install my 1000uF cap for my COPs.
install a smaller restrictor on my oil inlet fitting.
I'll have pics of the stuffs tomorrow morn. Watch out for the best video ever too.
