Looks good. What side of town ya on?

[Gts_coupe87]

im in stafford... and if u can swing by and help me with the timing belt thatll be sweet!! i dont know anybody who knows how to work on this motor.... not one person.. everybody at the shop are all old guys who just stick to original stuff... they keep trying to look it up on mitchell.. lol. i keep telling them its not on there.. this is theyre first time seeing a FWD motor going into a RWD.. they think its not possible.. they look like this...

timing belt isnt hard once youve done it a couple of times. Find the manual on club4ag.com and follow the directions. I think im able to do it under an hour now.

Well, you know several people now via 86garage who know how to work on the Black Top 20v. Looking forward to the pics.

[Gts_coupe87]

Well yea ur right but people nowadays days are super busy. And now I think im deffenitley gunna need help with the cooling system... Parts came in and have no idea how to install... Ugh guess I just gotta guess.. Haha. Hopefully I guess right. I don't kno how y'all guys do it...

[Gts_coupe87]

so there she is just sitting... waiting...



rattle caned engine bay.. it looks good to me!!



got the water relocation kit from sam the man from http://s-86.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; check it.



started to put it together..







Now this is where im like, okay wut do i do now...



im guessing it goes like this... im not sure but pretty positive it does..



oh yea and also have this broken thing... TPS..



this is my daily for right now.. :laugh45:

[CBR_TOY]

at least you have a daily ha ha

looks like your motor/car is coming along nicely

[Gts_coupe87]

started to put the external thermostat together.. and like i said im pretty sure it goes like this.. i mean it makes sense.. check it



and also had to make a bracket so it could bolt up somehow instead of it just hanging there.. but of coarse the radiator hoses will keep it more stabilized



still trying to find a perfect hose for the external thermostat to the water pump... will post pics when done..

[joel26]

It looks good...

[Gts_coupe87]

so i was suppose to post pics when i was done with the thermostat... but i forgot... anyways i have pics of the motor in the car. and she looks sweet!!! check it out!!



so now that its good n stuff i went ahead and decided to finally connect my front bumper light.. it was pretty easy.. check it



i had an all black nardi but didnt really like it.. so i took it off and put another nardi my friend got me from the Philippines for $25!!!
im diggin this one more than the all black one (sorry for the ugly iphone pics. didnt have any other camera)



But after all that doing, i still cant drive it due to some stupid retarded wiring problem... so i just stare at my car from time to time, eat lunch inside it, talk to it, clean the windows and the rims, clean out the trunk. just other stuff besides driving it.. and they also have me on camera just chillin with her... its ridiculous look!!



man hopefully NST can figure out whats wrong with it, because i really need my car back!!!
