It's ALIVE!!!!! *PICS* 56k death

**Mike Diaz** · 06-10-04, 12:43 AM

It ended up being a big problem with the wiring harness. When I replaced the timing belt and water pump, you have to bend the wiring up over the top of the engine. When I did this, a few of the wires broke, causing the engine to not get any spark. Well, here it is, the exterior is 90% done, I still need to buff it with some compound to get that "Glass" look, and then I'm starting on the audio/video.

Sorry about the pics. they're gone

Thanks guys, I still have to attach my rear emblem, install the EDM's when I get those, and put a lot of the engine bay back together.

I'm just glad to be driving the coupe again.

I saw that after I took the pics and hoped no one would notice.

I'm going out right now to fix that. It's my license plate light plug I forgot to plug back in

What's up Leon?

PS2 in the passenger side of the dash (actually mounted in the dash).
7" widescreen where the heater controls are now. Hopefully fiberglassed and trimmed in either woodgrain, or painted to match the color of the car.
Heater controls hidden in the center console.
Custom trunk setup with black vinyl.
AutoPage alarm is getting installed tonight.
Legend door sills (Thanks Darren)
Paint the inner part of the wheels the same color as the car.
LED bulbs in the taillights, turn signals, corner lights, and side markers in the rear
Velocity stack intake manifold with custom throttle body.
A new 2.5" exhaust is being installed tomorrow, still using the Flowmaster

That's all I can think of for now

typeII / FI in the distant future?

**Mike Diaz** · 06-10-04, 02:14 AM

Nope, Type I is there to stay.

I already ported the intake manifold and the intake side of the heads. Next winter, I'm tearing down the engine for a full rebuild, including porting the exhaust manifolds, the exhaust side of the heads, and hopefully we'll have a functional Y pipe.

The velocity stack intake will allow a lot more air to enter the combustion chamber, so I'm gonna have to add an S-AFC, a bigger fuel rail, Venom Injectors, and a high flow fuel pump with external regulator to even out the A/F ratio. Hopefully I don't go broke.

Is the tail light fuel door thing finished? I'd like to see pics of that! Looking good! I bet it's nice to drive it again.
