haha not my fault! i never done any major engine mods -.-Are you kidding me? When you do any major engine modifications you have to re-tune your ECU.
That was the pricing on the tuning..
And yes Jim, it will be a lot better the second time I do it lol.
Engines about ready to go in now though. Better go finish that.

No problem. However I have decided my car is cursed. I drove it around last night after I fixed the oil leak, then I parked it back in the shop. I decided to install my hood latch cable, and after I got it done I drove the car again, only to find out my speedometer stopped working!
Great...
Great...

Did the clip come out that holds the speedo cable in place?

Actually I plan to change the color of blue, I found a really nice color on a motorbike and I want to paint the car that color.
Josh, not quite. The speedometer clip isn't in anymore. I couldn't get it to go in with the clip on, so I just took it off and it's fine. However my speedometer did stop working randomly... and the cable was fine, then it started working again lol.
I've got about 1000 miles on the motor so far. Which means roughly 800 on the transmission rebuild and new clutch.

Turns out my speedometer intermittently working was because my cable was on it's way out. It broke all the way tonight. I'll go get a new one tomorrow if I get a chance.
Spent some time getting the metal shaped where the car was wrecked. About three hours worth of metal working and welding. It looks a lot cleaner under the fender. Still need to primer the front.
I will "try" to get pictures up tomorrow. I have to remember to go somewhere with my laptop so I can upload them at a normal size. I also got my headlights adjusted some. (It was mainly working the metal where they bolt up.) Before when I was driving I couldn't use my bright lights because they basically just shine at tree tops. Now the bright lights are perfect, but my low beams seem too low. I will have to do some more work on them. I'm happy with the area on the outside of where the fender bolts up, so next time I get the urge to do some metal work i'll be starting on the engine bay.
I've concluded tonight the only real way to get it to look right is to buy a new radiator support, or completely replace the top piece. Both may be an option, i'll have to check on prices. Or if i'm lucky I will find an Integra with a totaled rear end so I can salvage the front.
Tomorrow I might get a little bit more tweaking done to it, but if I get around to it early enough I think i'm going to put the new hood in primer and sand and respray the front fenders.

Pictures!
Just for comparison...
And here is the metal work as I was going through it.
Interior Shot, yes I know my carpet is dirty. (And I just cleaned it last week...)
Going to polish one and paint the other. :thumbs up
Subs!
And my FB profile picture, yes, I know, it looks better when it's a tiny picture on Facebook. :lol:

I will do the primer tomorrow, and I might start doing some work to the engine bay. A wire tuck is in the future of the car too.
No Jordan, it hasn't been a real big concern. When I get some more cash I will definitely get a new one. I found a place that will do it for $160. Window tinting for $140 I think? 25% tint.
List of priorities.
