Did a little bit of work today. Started cleaning some stuff out. Mainly misc wiring. Ended up finding the MAFT that was wired in. It was just hanging out in the engine bay. I think I am gonna make a new harness for it and run it inside to the glove box at least. Also started pulling out the ac components. A couple of the metal lines were messed up so its just gonna come out.
I also gotta figure out what to do with 1/2 tank of E85. I highly doubt i will run E85 due to the fact that if i ever go back west to Montana to visit family i wont be able to fill up. E85 is very limited if not no existent in my hometown.

I think dsm link allows for alt maps does it not? That way you can have a 93oct tune and an e85 tune.

I was talking about that with my buddy and if that works that will probably be the way to go for me. I would only be able to run 91 for when i went back home. But we have at least one E85 station here in town.

So finally getting around to getting somewhere on this car. Been cold as hell here, and having no garage now sucks. But I was able to pick up a 90 GST that i will use for the motor and misc interior parts and some little body things. Rest will be parted out. That car should be here on Wed.
I am starting to look for a head and some other little parts. Mainly 91-94 throttle body, Cas, and coil pack. I think thats all i need to get the 90 motor running in my car.
The only other thing i was unsure of is the MAF on the 90. Would it work in my 91? Or should i just upgrade to the 2g one instead.

So, my GST arrived today and i was rather surprised. In the pictures i was sent the car did not look that good. Which was fine. I was just gonna use it as parts anyway. But when it got here, its actually in really good shape. No rust on the car, and interior is in really good shape. Like alot better than my talon. The guy also gave me alot of interior pieces from his rolled Eclipse. He gave me pretty much everything except the front seats.
I will try to get some pics tomorrow before i leave town. But its kinda crowded in the garage again. lol

Hard to tell by the pics but there is alot of extra stuff in there. Gonna start looking for a bigger storage shed that way i can put the Talon in there for now and get the Eclipse running.
I also bought a head from Chim to replace the one on the Eclipse. I am hoping to find a cheap way to heat the garage a little otherwise i will wait to start working on it.

Ya, i totally understand. Right now it was more of a matter of getting the stuff in there. I had to take an hour from work just to come help unload the car and put the stuff in the garage.
But i did get a call back from a storage place saying that i was able to finally get into a bigger unit. Right now i have like a 7x9 storage unit. And its on a 2nd floor. The new one i am gonna get into is a 12x20. And has outside access. So i will be able to move everything thats not needed over there.
