Project: I dunno yet ('99 GT), NOW with pictures & video [IN COLOR]! (Update BOTTOM of pg.5) Options

Nice!!! But damn those photos are huge, had to reduce my screen size to like 33% to get a good view haha.

Knew someone would say that, lol.
I did that so that all could get the full experience, lol.

It auto adjusts size for me, so meh.

Did some work on Sunday. Started taking the interior apart. Had ordered new speakers & when taking the speaker panels out on the right side found some previous damage. Looks like it was repaired well?



Started putting the speakers in at work because that's where all my tools are. I was really hoping that it would be easier, like bolt in easy but stuff like that never happens.



Tried to take the least amount of material off, speakers don't seem to be to much heavier than the stockers. Still need to finish them up.



This is the progress...

[bloodMoney]

Woot! Progress!

[cheela]

should put your black interior in while you're at it.

[navseal345]

That's the plan. Just got to clean/ scrub stuff down before I put it all back together.

[navseal345]

So I finally got the factory alarm key fob programmed. Thanks to cheela / richee3.

The little "piezo chirper" sounds like a dying rabbit but the alarm/ keyless entry works now. And now I can put the horn fuse back in & I can have a horn & not worry about that going off w/ the alarm.

Clutch is going in this weekend, hell or high water, it'll happen.

[richee3]

So the alarm works perfectly fine now?

[navseal345]

Yep! Turned off the "Passive" mode or whatever it is called. I can leave the door open & it doesn't go bat **** crazy.

[richee3]

Awesome, glad it was something easy!

[cheela]

glad it worked out for at least one of us. lol

Put the car on the 2 post this weekend...

I'm liking that it's fairly rust free underneath.






Found some previous accident damage, oh well...


Got the clutch done (replaced the flywheel also). I really don't want to EVER do that again. Took way longer than what I thought it was going to (basically a 2 day project). Tried to clean stuff up, years of engine oil & clutch dust. Ended up putting in 2 new axles seals & a starter (someone had over tightened the nut that holds the power wire to the starter & when I went to go take it off the stud that goes into the starter broke inside the starter case, it was a reman unit) & of course the reman unit sounds like **** & seems like it grinds. Got to find a higher quality one or used OE from the junkyard.
I'm believing that the clutch might have been the OG w/ ~ 169,320miles because it had AISIN stamped on it, but whatevs.

[Box]

Those hotspots on the flywheel though. FWIW Aisin makes o.e. replacement clutches for certain applications, but that one definitely looks all of 169,000 miles.

[navseal345]

Yeah, I put an Aisin one back in. Super happy I didn't have to adjust the clutch pedal at all.

[Box]

Now you get to break the clutch in, exciting.

[richee3]

Update time!

[navseal345]

Update time!

Lol. You're a funny man.

[bloodMoney]

Oh come on... You have all that interior to put in it!

[navseal345]

Ok, ok.

Chris, that starter works wonderfully. Cleaned it up a little w/ a wire wheel & installed that last Friday during lunch. Much better than that loud piece of chit I got from Hoe'Riellys.

Got some vids of both I'll upload sometime.

And yesterday I went to the car wash & power washed the carpet & other floor mats.
I want to get the carpet in this weekend since it will be "somewhat" cooler.

Not sure the best way to clean those black leather seats. Some parts of the seats are pretty dry & hard. Just might spray them off & rub them down w/ something.

We'll see what happens.
