So first is my current CL idle settings that seem to work pretty good right now.

The rest is a 94 1.8 block and a 02 VVT head unknown mileage on both. The guy wants $400 for everything and is across the country but he is about 15 min from one of the equipment yards for work so i can ship for free!!

Is this a good deal worth buying or keep my eyes out longer for a complete VVT engine.

Also while im on a roll with bleeding money. right now i have tein flex coilovers with 7/6kg springs (392/280lbs) was thingking of re springing the front to 12kg 728lbs and moving the 7kg 392 springs to the rear. Its only $130 and think it might keep the front from diving so much in corners, especially with splitter

Skip putting any money into tein flex.

Onlins fox or xidas

aidandj 08-18-2017 11:11 PM

If you mean ohlin dfv pass on those. If you mean Ohlin TTX then do it for sure.

I'm a xida fan, fox are probably good too.

Come down to Portland and ride on my xidas :) was going to be in Seattle this weekend with the car but had to bring the dog.

That would be sweet. I really want to get a track day in before the snow comes if I can ever get free time

aidandj 08-18-2017 11:28 PM

NWAA has a good day at ORP on September 14th? I'm instructing at that one.

matrussell122 08-18-2017 11:34 PM

All booked up during the week. I usually work 5am-430pm Mon to Fri then EMT training Wed night and all day Saturday and that goes until December. All work and no play recently trying to have money to build the car and sled while getting into the fire department

Sounds like you are in need of a mental health day

matrussell122 08-18-2017 11:39 PM

The girlfriend refers to those as family days lol and on top of the schedule is our 18 month daughter who runs everywhere now. I'll try to get down there one Sunday for an event though!

Replaced the clutch and slave cylinder. Think the fluid was dirty a little bit.

I saw your thread like 2 hours after I made the trade. I think their site is back up now though

Dropped the block off at a local shop to get machined and rotating assembly balanced, should have it back in about 6 weeks. Is there anyone in the PNW that wants to help assemble the block, never assembled a motor for a car but how hard could it be.

That is the spirit! :likecat:

I'm in the PNW (portland) but not sure you want my help. My motor only lasted 4000 miles :(

matrussell122 11-02-2017 12:03 PM

If we hit 4001 i guess it would be a winner then!

matrussell122 11-03-2017 04:10 PM
