jeph Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 finished taking out all the automatic stuff today and also took the gauge cluster out to put led bulbs and clean the wiring up. also im stuck on what color to paint the car. i want the car to be white but the bay will still be green so im thinking of painting it the oem green color it was supposed to be. im having a hard time finding the color code for this color green. (This is not my car, if owner is on here message me and i will take the pic down) 1 Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah 911. It's my original color. 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 yeah im gunna go with the oem green color since the bay is still decent after a good cleanup and the floor boards and jams are still pretty clean too. also fixed the ignition problem i was having, i found out that whoever put in the electronic distributor, instead of figuring out the stock wiring to make it work they just ran a wire from the coil straight to the ignition and the wire was only getting power in (start) mode and not (key on) so i found the original wire and it starts every time now. also ripped all the janky stereo wiring out which for some reason was ran to the ignition (they must have not known there was oem stereo power wires hanging right where the stereo goes lol!) but i got all that hooked up and even the buzzer hooked back up and it works when the door is open lol. but might unhook it later its the most awful sound haha. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 You have you have the buzzer partially hooked up or something else won't work, I don't remember what though 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 alright it seems like everything works but ill just leave it hooked up. Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 did some work on the cluster today, put a new speedo and installed led bulbs so i can actually see the gauges at night lol. First i removed these then put in some led 194 bulbs 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 finishing up some body work then going to lay down the primer filler and start blocking it down. ill take more picsss 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 been real busy lately saving money, the 510 gets dropped off at the body shop july 10th its going to be 1000$ just for body work and prep for paint. they said since some spots are down to bare metal they need to sand the whole car to bare metal so the paint is even, and they want to remove alot of the bondo and take the dents out without bondo. then i guess it needs a special epoxy primer to stick to the bare metal so the paint wont chip or crack off later. ill have them take progress pics along the way i cant wait!

jeph Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 anyone know if i can just bypass these or are they needed to make it run right? and as for egr i can just take it off and put a plate and weld the headers shut? Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 everything can go, but without a aftermarket fpr, you need the top red circle, the bottom red circle is a butterfly valve actuator, i have been told the motor will run either way, but if you remove the actuator, you also should remove the butterfly valves in the mani. also 1 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 There is nothing wrong with some lime green :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 haha especially some lime green painted over dirt and oil while it was raining out lol is what it looks like. random question about the ka swap. instead of cutting the crossmember and flipping it cant you just unbolt the whole crossmember and flip it and bolt it back on? and flip the bolts for the control arms? Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The bolts for the lca have a tapered shoulder and only go in one way so that wouldn't work. You can cut and flip the cross member or make a custom rear sump oil pan. Quote Link to comment
