No pictures yet, but I tucked the headlight wiring, reinstalled my 15" circa 1993 Rockford Fosgate PUNCH subwoofer and strapped the box down with some 1" thick rubber pieces between the sub box and anywhere it touches, so theres no rub and the box won't jump around.

Just waiting for the LSD to be installed into the trans, they are waiting for some shims to come in, and since nothing runs on the holiday (today) its getting set back to the weekend, most likely sunday as I'm going to Benny Benassi tomorrow.

However the civ is alive electrically! So far everything is as operational as I left it.

I've been mashing this song all day so I thought I'd share it with you guys:

[EuroB]

So I just made an account after reading through all these pages
this build is coming along so fast

btw: The Benny Bennasi concert was retarted, he didn't get on till so late!

 

[AcousticAudio]

Haha the Beetroots were way better anyway. Were you at the Edmonton show in saturday?

 

[EuroB]

Nope I worked All day Saturday!

but hey, were in Calgary are you located? cause im gonna be needing some help or advice painting my EG Hatch in a couple weeks its all sanded i just got to tack on the new quarter panels next week and itll be ready!

 

[AcousticAudio]

I'm up in Edmonton haha If you need some tips just add me to msn suspend.reality@gmail.com

In other news.. she lives! Big relief for me. Set the base timing via timing light, idles at a nice 14.7 a/f, no leaks, no knocks, no odd sounds, it all went pretty smoothly. Didn't get a chance to actually drive her out of the garage tonight, but she I let it run long enough to reach full operating temp, varying the revs from 1000rpm to 2200rpm. Tomorrow she'll step out from her 7 months of storage and begin the break in process.

 

[frangipani]

do you have any suggestions on a decent place to get a paint job here in Edmonton?

btw, can't wait til you finish building your car! big fan of Blue! LOL

 

[AcousticAudio]

Mmm, there aren't too many places in edmonton I would leave my car to be painted. It all depends on how much you want to spend, and if youre having resprayed the same color or a new color. The guy who painted my car for me is starting at a new shop in edmonton in the next few weeks, when I get the name of it I'll pass it along to you

If youre a fan you should come out to United Cycle @9:00 and then West Ed @10:30 on friday and/or saturday and see it!
