To properly start a new progress thread, the new vehicle must be shown. So here we go.
Now that is complete, we move on to this weekends fun. Majority of items needed to accomplish the clutch change. Prepped work area. Should be an eventful weekend. Plans for this weekend: (Let see how many I actully complete) Clutch swap over riser blocks swap over rear ssIII splitters swap over highs and projectors ( Remove OEM casing from light, and apply to projector broken casing) Covert connectors. install headunit with proper facekit wire in amp, and subs. remove rear seats Thats a hefty list, but I think I can do it. I'll damn well try. Hoping the locals have their earplugs ready. Any of you Floridians want to come to Gainesville? I'll supply beer, pizza, and California type headache relief |

Well she did fine on her first day to work. Though only a short drive, it gives me plenty of insight on what needs attention. After the new struts and springs, going to need a good front end alignment. Came apparent after the steering wheel being way off. Got a grind in 3rd at high RPMs, so granny shifting for right now. Not sure of the cause, be it trans or just the fluid I used. I did not go all out with the synchromesh being I wasn't sure if the tranny itself would be leaking from my tamperings. Its not leaking, but now I'm not sure if the 90w-140 or whatever it was generic jazz is causing that grind. Don't really like the feel of the s54 either, when you shift into the gear it doesn't feel solid like the ST's trannie did. When you hit the gas, the shifter moves back about 1 inch aggressivly, almost like its going to pop out of gear, but doesn't . Stays in just fine. Possibly streched cables? Tried to repair the clutch rubber line from the firewall to the trannie hardline. Couldn't get the wallside connection off. felt like I was going to break the hard like. So I applied further patch to the rubber line, but that was no dice. Still leaking, but the cluch is working still. So I'm pondering on that one. AC compressor is sqeaking like crazy, going to be in the market for one of those soon. Some good work done this weekend, much more to go, but I'm determined to get her up to par. Edit: Oh yea, new brakes all round =P damn did it need'em. This post has been edited by rave2n: Jan 23, 2012 - 8:23 AM |
