La fea negro

[DSMINMN]

I spent a good part of the evening and actually this morning getting this balancer deal figured out. My guess was right too..

If the previous owner of this car wouldn't have died from OD'ing (on whatever), I probably would've killed 'em... The car is plagued with all sorts of hardware store, standard bolts. The threads are metric but the heads are standard or flat heads..I don't get it. lol The balancer bolts are even 1/2". Annoying to say the least.

The other thing was I didn't realize you had to trim the timing cover for the Fluidamper. I installed and removed that thing like 7 times. I got it figure out but man was it a long process.

Believe it or not this car had semi working AC when I first got it. I didn't order an AC belt however so that got taken off and I assume the AC system will follow when/if I decide to have the system emptied. I also put new bushing in the shifter assembly and my God what a difference! The brass bushing on the transmission side seemed to help stiffen things up but I'm having an issue with getting into 5th and reverse. My luck I bent one of the cables. Good luck finding on of those. The shifter base kit that I have which is supposed to work with a '90 is also pissing me off. The metal washers/spacers are completely wrong for the shift base. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that.

I hoping to leave for the Shootout tomorrow but I'm sure that'll fall through 'cause my luck and 'Merica.

How does the weather look for the shootout, some were saying it was iffy.

Also what are you plans for this car? I vote keep AC

[DSMINMN]

Someone mentioned rain. Of course everyone flaked last minute so this is the 7th year I get to wish I was there. lol FFS.

I haven't a clue. Well, I guess I do as I have this for it.

Some bastard 20g deal. I believe its custom from somebody. IDK. I got it from Kris Hall. Or, I have to go get it yet but that's what'll be going on. So I guess just a nasty street car?

[turbotalon1g]

Yeah dude definitely try to keep AC, we only get 5 month season and 3 of them are humid as fuck.

Looks like this will be a nice car when you get it going!

I decided to change the brakes on the back and welllll...not everything went as planned. I had a grinding noise and yeah. I had an issues. The grind was the rear pad essentially machining away the back of the rotor.

The caliper is seized and removed actually. Line clamped off with a vise grip. Calipers aren't really expensive but I need both and e-brake cables. One of the wheel studs is bad so that means the whole bearing to come out.

Transfer case is still leaking even after a new seal. The boots on the carrier bearings are pretty much gone. Rear shocks are bad. This is a 3 bolt car.

At the end of the day this would end up with new everything and I cannot afford that at the moment so..there she'll sit. lol So typical. I can very easily see why people get rid of these for something much newer and more reliable. Not to mention easier part availability (lobro joint boot/grease kits are on extended back order from Japan according to JNZs site).

Rear calipers have always been a problem on these.

For the rear bushings, I had to buy two new parts store ones for $120 just to cut the lower mounts off for my JIC coilovers.

Just buy my Koni/Eibach setup and be done with it. Looks and rides perfect. $400 cash.

[DSMINMN]

That'a essentially the setup I wanted but at the very moment it isn't in the budget. I was planning on throwing a few more things up for sale
If they sell like the rest of my stuff has then I might be getting ahold of you in a few weeks.
