Nice work, I like the oil pump connected to the drill for filling the transfer case and trans!

$40 and worth every penny!

That's cool, I didn't even know they made something like that!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Yea, pretty sure it was brownman that turned me onto it a few years back. I said 'meh' for a while and then when it came time to do fluid changes on my car & a few others at the same time I sprung for it.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Man I would help you out if I ever knew when you were working on this thing.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Was gunna say looks just like Aarons pump. I need to get one someday.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Yes sir, a few years ago when I used to make it out. I came to help you and a couple others do random stuff and there were a lot of diff. fluid changes and everyone fell in love with it like I did.

I highly recommend it.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Hah even I don't know unfortunately. I always appreciate the help but tonight is a classic example...car runs fine so all I gotta do is finish brakes and bleed ACD then go drive it right? I got two pads and a rotor installed and phone rang for work...ran to edina, just got back in time for bed. I'm trying *really* hard not to stress out about getting this thing done for proving grounds but this pace is fucking killing me right now.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Good luck, my schedule appears to be freeing up more lately too.
So if you or anyone wants a hand let me know.
More mitsu's at PG the better.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Holy hell! I need to get one of those pumps! That thing looks awesome!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Well at long last the car is officially back on the road!! Work owned me all week but today I bled the acd (thanks tephra!), finished the brakes, aligned the steering wheel, reassembled the bov, and buttoned up the bumper cover.

35 miles on the clock and no apparent leaks, oil looks good...fingers crossed!

Oh! And look what showed up today :)

Generic mounting bracket that came with it had to make do for now....it ain't too purdy up close:

But like the rest of the car, from a few feet away it ain't bad (also, here's a shot of the engine bay all buttoned up):

Car is back on the road! 150 miles on the clock so far...no major leaks. I'm still undecided on break-in procedure....Proving Grounds is 2 weeks away and I want to try and do some WOT tuning before I hit the road up there.

Started car, full warm-up.
Changed oil. 10w30 Fleet Farm oil.
Drove 41 miles, vacuum pulls, vacuum pulls, vacuum pulls.
Changed oil. 2.5x 10w30 Fleet Farm oil, 2x O'Reily 10w40.
150 miles now, do I change to synthetic at 500 miles or...
change oil at 500 miles with some 10w40 dino oil and then go for 1000 before going synthetic....I don't know if I have time.

Also need to fix the BCS lead I broke during disassembly, do the rear brakes, bleed them all around, and change the rear diff fluid. So far so good....

Re: beaterX project thread
 

NICE DUDE!!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Nice! 500 miles should be fine to go to synthetic. Ring seating should be all done by then.

^x2.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Looking good!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Looks like she's ready to rock for proving grounds!


I spy some KV2's :D

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Awesome progress...and quick-like too!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Nice job! Impressive that you can get all that stuff done with how much you seem to work
