Well I am long over due for a visit

Party you say?

Got this beast aligned Friday on my lunch break. I’ve been looking for an excuse to go drive it handles great. I’m having a hard time not smashing on the gas pedal

I think its only right to bring a bremelo or 2 if youre going to make the journey I just might accept the offer

Drove her for the first time since april 6th. Rebuilt engine, jbc v2 r&p x-member with futofab lca's, tc rods and sway bar. Im looking forward to getting it aligned tomorrow and see how it corners. Pictiures tomorrow

What do you want to be labeled as?

Let’s hope not I don’t want to have to tow it to the shop.

So the hatch wouldn’t open when we got there then once home I gave it a good yank and it opened up. Once opened I sprayed the latch with some lube and should have played with it to see what the deal was but I just closed it and hoped it would open up again but it’s stuck closed. I have to take the back panel off and see what’s going on. This morning I spent 3 hours waiting at dmv but I have the paperwork sorted out. Now to drop the oil pan and see what the crank journals look like since it has a pretty good rod Knock. Hopefully I can get away with just changing the bearings and taking it to smog.

:ninja:

So i found this when i got out of the shower and jammed back to the shop and wired it up http://www.the510realm.com/download/file.php?id=7553&sid=62eeb4374b91a7b0009c6e1430d04ce8&mode=view

Everything is pretty much done, my only issue is that my high beams are on all of the time when I turn the headlights on. Even when I unplug the high beams from the switch and relay they are still on. I even played around with the wiring going to the stock headlight sockets. Right now I have the low beam wires coming from my relay connected to the wire that says drive on the stock side, high beams going to the wires that say pass on the stock plug and of course ground. If I swap the high and low beam wires it is still the same thing

No progress. Tuesday night I started wrapping up the harness then Wednesday I get a notification stating that my headlights were on there way so I didn’t touch it for a couple days to not have to back track and redo the headlights. So Friday after work the we’re delivered but i was not pleased to find that they were not the way I thought I had ordered them. So I called pissed and was surprised that someone answered considering it was about 6pm on a Friday. Great customer service he said the would assemble the bottoms for me and I can go down during the week and get them switched out for me.

Im not going to lie i was a bit overwhelmed when i started laying the new one in place, it looks scary but its really not that bad. Just go a little bit at a time. I know i seen a center garnish on ebeay a few days ago..
