Found one issue with my, lately, been running badly, car. Yay!
Seems I have multiple issues, but I have found, and fixed one of them at least. It was a defective, new, disty cap.
The contact for the coil wire, inside the cap, where it touches the rotor, about fell out, when I pulled the cap to take a peek. It was crooked, and kinda leaning on it's side. No wonder it was sputtering.Dan

Got crazy today, hit up the JY and scored an Aspire compressor with lines and tensioner for $33. The low side line is off of a '94 Protege, I'm not down with the Aspire line that runs all the way to the DS, then back across the firewall. I guess someone was smoking a little crack when they designed that. Got everything put onto Green Car but I still need to slot the bolt holes for the Protege line where it bolts to the compressor. The orifice fits perfectly but the bolt hole is about a 1/16" off.
I also yanked the engine out of FestEvil and started swapping everything over onto the block and head that I just finished rebuilding. Still need an intake gasket, and my flywheel and clutch from zoomzoom should be here on Thursday! Can't wait to have him back together with a 5 speed finally! Was another productive day in festivaland againNo festiva for me ATM...

Finally got to drive it around for a bit. Having some issues with it idling really high...but other than that it's driving like a dream. Getting about 31.5 mpg, though...ouch.

Pulled the engine
Pulled out the engine/tranny a day ago, having blown the head gasket by overheating without any rad fluid (hole in the rad). Now I have to figure out why the frame seems to be twisted. ... Well I know why, since I barrel rolled it twice, but I mean where the twist is, and then sort out if it can be pulled out. A bit of a sad race weekend on March 3 and 4.Last edited by Icedawg; 03-20-2012, 08:36 PM.Thricetiva replaced Icetiva as the new ride
