Ok so I spoke too soon we have a clutch problem. It doesnt engage enough and wont pick a gear im thinking the push ros needs adjusting

Probably a good start.... where does your release fork sit?

Don't know this is my first time dealing with this kind of thing

You just need to look at it. Does it sit to the passanger side, drivers side or centre.

I stuck my hand down there and I can move it left and right about 5mm and its really slack. Going to rebleed the whole lot inc the master and see how that goes.

So with the clutch and idle issue the car has turned into a winter project, I was hoping to drive it through some snow this year but no point rushing, I want it right not shite.

Bought some more goodies, clear headlights and corners, fender flares and some 15inch cragar steelies off a jeep

I am curious to see the flares!

As soon as they arrive I'll mock them up

Finally got my ass in gear and put some lights up today.




And here are the clear lights

Wheels arrived and im very happy with them. Although my buddy wants to trade for his ,what would you do?

Keep the black ones, they flow with the styling of the car much better then the 5 stars. just my $.02

Are those wheels steel? How heavy are they?

They are steel,not really that heavy tho, my fds are way lighter but they are only about 14lb I think.

Motivation kicked in, that and finally installing lights in my garage.
Axles are out and im ready to pull the tranny.
the slave has been rebuilt and a new master cylinder has been fitted.
A good night so far

Pulled the tranny and apart from the tob clip been broken nothing seems wrong. I do have 2 differant t.o.b's though and am not sure which to use.
I have added a washer to the new pivot ball just to be safe.

Installed my other throttlebody and moved away from the engine bay.
Cleaned up my struts that will be used for thw coilovers I will have to paint them I'll be be using metalcast paint so im limited with colours.



then I decided to check out the hacked up wiring under the dash. Wish I haven't lol.

ooh looks like a fancy security system

Its all ripped out now thank god.

These arrived today.
I also got tyres for the wheels

What car are they for and do you mind telling how much you paid for them

I bought them off kijiji for 125. They are off a late 80s corolla if im been completely honest I wish they were a tad bigger. But they will work

That's good, all the ones I have seen were 200+

That's why I risked it lol.
The tranny is back in the car now so I should be able to try it out tomorrow

Ok so the clutch dissengages, how it goes once its moving I guess I will have to find out another day

Installed the ground controls and agx's and am very disappointed with how low the go(or dont go as it were).
So I will be "modifying" the perches so they will sit lower but still be adjustable so I can raise if needed.
No pics of late due to breaking my phone

Old wheel gap



New wheel gap

Get some whole car pictures in asap, great job on dumping the bitch!

I very nearly ditched the wide 15s and flares for my fds then realised how dull that would make me.

So are you rolling the fenders too?

If I go ahead I will roll and pull them but my fds look pretty good too.

I know the steelies are heavy... But i like the look of them better. theres a white 2g on dsmtuners facebook that runs white steelies.

I so agree!

Plus they have bigger tyre which will totally compensate for the stiff springs and lack of strut travel...... Right.....

The jeep rims are the right choice.

Yeah agreed, I like the jeep rims.
I guess you enjoy the stiff ride more than I do cause we went the opposite way with our suspension choices

Yeah haha I can live with it for a while. Just want to build something "cool" before I move on to newer platform.

Installed my wide band and decided to fix more of the hacked wiring wish me luck.

Got some progress done on the wiring, I plan on making a housing now under the stereo to hold my boost gauge, wideband (same size as a turbo timer) and the in cabin boost controller I just bought. I want to have it so only the nob is showing.
