I got a pack of those spark wire separators for cheap to use for mine. If you were closer, I'd give you my other 3 lol

thanks man, i do need to finish up some of that stuff down the road but atleast they are in now. haha

Those are looking great!

You know you are getting close to being done when the laptop is out! I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Still have a couple big items to get done before the tuning date on May 21st but atleast its ready to fire and calibrate the sensors on saturday

got the car started Saturday, it idles beautifully and for partial throttle, revs quickly... it was 30 and snowing Saturday so the shakedown has to wait til Wednesday or Thursday this week once the weather gets a little nicer. i cant wait to see what this car will do on the road

Nice! Looking forward to seeing this thing in action. Oh, I'm still looking for a 94-95 if you happen to hear about one.

thanks man.


Check out this link, there is a 94 with the same turbo kit i have. its built to be a race car and not the prettiest but work a look at that price range. (3rd listing down)

Great news! Glad she is running well!

thanks man, its slowly getting there, i know it idles well, i guess I will likely found out tomorrow how well it is actually running. Ill be driving it home from my buddies house where i stored it all winter to my house.

well driving it home from where it was stored all winter was interesting about a 1/4 mile from my house i started smelling gas. got it home and found the one injector o-ring must have ripped when i installed them or it ripped/blew out on the drive home, luckily I got that replaced over the weekend and got to take it for a proper shakedown, the car runs very nicely, in fact, better than its ever run since i became the owner. As happy as i am with how its running right now, i am still excited for the improvements Ken Hill will be able to do with the car, over the base map i have.

Gave the car a good wash and wax on Monday...

Is your hood popped, or maligned?

i think its the front bumper retainer is a little tweaked and causing what you see... i know that its not as bad in person at that pic makes it look, but its something i wanted to tweak with when i get some time.

99% of NB's that are in a front end impact usually can never re-align that gap perfectly without either shimming or drilling out mounting holes. Just like your fender-to-bumper gaps are all out of shape too.

Not a big deal though, and more visible in pictures than real life.

Car looks pretty :)

thanks man!

I'll be honest.. I want the car to look great and I'd love to have the gaps perfectly aligned, but after the two year battle I've had with this car, I'm just happy the car is finally running well.
Once Ken and I start tuning next month, and i get any bugs worked out of it. Its time to have fun with it. I can focus on the finer details and really work on realigning those gaps alot better this winter when its locked up in the garage

True dat.
I paid a guy 500$ after the insurance's shop got my car back looking like OP's car and it's still not 100% percent straight.
Once the inner tub is bent, the front will never look straight again.

got a quick vid from outside the car, ill see if i can get another soon so i can hear the exhaust

got around this weekend to finally tweaking with the bumper and hood. i found out that the body shop didnt put the bumper on properly and thats why it looked the way it did. i took the bumper off and reinstalled it and the gaps on the hood/bumper are drastically improved, next will be to get the bumper/fenders corrected.
recalibrated the o2 sensor and starting doing some pulls/tuning and im thrilled with where the car is now. its still got room to improve but its the best this thing has ever run since i bought it and started bringing it back from the grave.


went across the state this past weekend to see some friends. got to go check out a cars and coffee yesterday before i left. someone must have liked my car cause i have a new pic
