Looking like it might be a false code from frayed wiring on the temp sensor. Along with the thermostat not liking the cold weather, the radiator cap and the IACV need to be replaced. The Florida motor did not enjoy starting on its first Michigan 20 degree morning lol

DOHHHHH...let me know how that turns out. Sorry I haven't been in touch these past few days. I have been having major clearance issues with my build.
So it was a bad fast idle solenoid valve and not the iacv. Its still a little hard to start on a cold morning, but it runs good after its warmed up for a minute. Sticky thermostat replaced, radiator cap too. Just a few lazy tropical Florida rubber/plastic parts that didn't like their first taste of a Michigan winter lol. Replacing that solenoid valve has made it run much more smoothly, which is nice considering the mounts. The short throw shifter and weighted knob are fantastic. I'll have to wash it and get some pics.
I am now addicted to the vtacks. Mileage, she suffers XD

Wow, haven't updated in a while. The GSR motor is working well, I'm down to a ever so slightly leaky heater hose fitting and the motor will be coolant-tight. Picked up some 15" steelies with giant 4x4 tires on em, rides like a Cadillac lol. Gonna run some miles off of these ridiculous things before I buy something lower profile. Front tower bar coming soon, but that's not really why I'm updating. My bro needed a car, so I dug up a 99 LX sedan with a blown trans for $1000. I've still got the DX trans from the 92, just needs a clutch and throwout bearing, so gonna slap that thing in there. It WAS hooked up to a Y7 when I bought it anyway lol
Anyhow, here's the new pickup, I hope my little bro starts a build thread, I think I got him a decent start:
165k miles on it, thoughts?

Yeah, I did read that it's a bad idea to put on a big fat one without any additional bracing. This is my DD, I don't need something 22mm+. Thinking it's going to be a purple Beaks bar since everything says the ASR brace is compatible with the 22mm bars anyway. The Beaks is stiff enough to lend enough bracing for my purposes, and costs about $100 less to boot. Might get that little subframe reinforcing kit they make too. JHP has it for $75, that's pretty cheap insurance.
Ordered up a Tanabe front strut bar for it today.

Nice build, tuned in for more updates
Only took 3 days before I had 5 minutes to bolt the thing in lol
It's nice having both front wheels on the same page. GC springs and Koni yellows are next up. Eventually. I've got something squeaking and squonking underneath, sounds like a bushing is getting to be on its last legs. If the suspension is gonna hafta come out to fix it, probably just going to upgrade.

Looks good man. Just something I noticed... Those two little air filters you have one on the valve cover and the one on the intake tube, you can just connect those two holes with a vacuum line, it might clean it up a little. I really want some Koni & GC just don't have the cash right now. Does your car have rear discs yet?Only took 3 days before I had 5 minutes to bolt the thing in lol
