As for THE COLT- I ran into an issue-clutch. I have a 2600, but no good aftermarket discs or flywheels for a FWD. I also have a AWD PTT twin disc, but we all know that wont work in a FWD bellhosuing, right?

 

Out comes the grinder!

The AWD flywheel is a little more than an inch smaller than the FWD-so I figured I needed the starter to come down at least 1/2 an inch. There is no way to do this on the trans really. You cant to grind that much off the bell housing without destroying it, and I wanted whatever I did to be repeatable in-case of trans failure.

 

So what I dreamed up was to stud/brace the dust shield (IE/cut a bolt in half and weld it to the shield) for the lower starer bolt in a new position that will engage the AWD flywheel-and hog out the hole in the plate-retaining the top bolt for maximum stability.

It may be the first ever, but I am not sure anyone will be in a hurry to repeat this one. But for now- problem solved. PR fabrication FTW once again.

Wow JP. You look EXACTLY the same as you did years ago when you drove down to c-bus in the Tercel with the park bench and giant "1.3L" on the deck lid. LOL!

 

Indeed! Just heavier. :)

 

Hopefully I will look like this in another 10! Update to come here made a TON of progress last night- but I am going to a party and may be unable to work on it after :no:.

Quite disappointed that this thrash all but killed my SO weekend

 

Long story short- I was full blasted at a house party- and was rescued by Grassroots Matt and crew to come Mod some time after midnight. With the help of Supra Vlad, Angry Matt, and Ben BMX- the car was ready to fire at 5am-only to find out the fuel tank I was given many moons ago had a dead pump-after that I threw in the towel. I continued to party-passed out-and woke up at 4pm dazed an confused :rofl:

 

Big thanks to Super Modder Vlad, Matt, Serge and Ben for getting the car literally ready to fire Saturday night. We did what takes most people MONTHS, in less than a week on 10pm or later mod sessions.

 

I am hung over, and beat from a golf outing today-so we will replace that pump and see if she fires tomorrow. This will probably be the last SO thrash I do on this scale unless I am unemployed an have all the time in the world!~

Well I woke up from my recovery nap and felt pretty solid. Wife made later dinner, and off to the garage I went.

 

Installed new pump-

 

Fixed fuel leak (Vlad will laugh about this one)

 

Installed few other needed tid bits before I attempted to start it; clutch slave, throttle cable, all grounds, all ignition, battery (trunk) cables, some final ECU wiring, built an intake for MAF-

 

Fucking thing fired up on the first crank. A Day late and a dollar short of the goal, but it was nice to have it rump rump rumping in the garage on jack-stands on its own, I am sure pissing off the neighbors.

 

Still needs more wiring and buttoning up before any test drives-but rest assured if the spare parts motor holds up-the turbo will be at Max shaft speed in no time at all :)

Update of mas disappointment-

 

Did not make the shootout. First time I whiffed on a thrash, ever. After 2 turbo installs-I have come to the realization he turbo is toast. ZERO psi. Ridiculous. To get some miles on the motor-I tossed a 14b on it last night. Starter/clutch/and motor work well. After I have 100 or so miles on her and I am sure the motor is not going to come apart, its turbo time (again).

 

I was at least happy to drive the thing, all 250 HP of it. Pics of her together in a few.
