cool...i was just thinking of ideas of painting that VC

 

[Cheesenip]

VC is painted, stock its black.

ive been researching it

Motors set with the intake side forward look great with itbs. I used gsx600 itbs to make some custom ones for a b series. Worked good, just never got tuned right, but ran like a raped ape under wot.

 

[Cheesenip]

Well...I bought, oil, lines, Synthetic gear oil ($23 a qt) and brakes. Hopefully soon she'll run.

 

[Aussie]

I want to hear it when your done. Hey man now we can run both cars. GSR vs. Neon and SRT vs MS3

 

[Cheesenip]

ill lose..the 97 and the gsr shouldnt ever tk bout lining up

 

[Aussie]

ehh....yea, I need to do some work to the ms3 to keep up too.

 

[Cheesenip]

not right now, ive got a miss. I think its a plug not gapped right. And I need to fix my TPS wiring.

I added some fluids to the 97, the trans doesnt leak, and it doesnt leak oil out of the pan. I was trimmin my battery tray, but my dremel bit snapped. I need some battery cables still.

Put I did put new front brake pads on today, Ill do the rears tomorrow, then bleed them.

Im goin to wait to get the battery cables. Kind of my way of making sure everything is hooked up before I go add power to it.

 

[Cheesenip]

ok well..it turned over. Like shit but it did. I wasnt able to find out why it wont fire. But its pissing oil from behind the pump. I think the crank seal is damaged.

 

[Cheesenip]

Well heres some pics

That puddle is probably 1qt of fuckin oil

Its coming from behind the crank sproket, which is one of 2 things. Faulty oil pump, or damaged crank seal

Working on this side of the engine..inside the car. SUCKS..theres almost no room

Box-O-Parts

I havent dropped the pan to pull the pick up and oil pump yet....Mainly because there still 6qts of oil in there. And..Im tired.
