yeah it is hard to tuck without cutting a lot and relocating alot, the biggest thing I did was get rid of all the vac hoses by the intake manifold, i went from like litterally 12 to 3. And I got rid of that big effin sensor thing by the VC, its appreciated more in person as there was ALOT of minor stuff cleaned up that isnt easy to see in the pic. Ill do more this winter when I try a 4g6x swap.

May I have that engine when you swap?

Febo · 04-22-2009

You can have both of them for $500 a piece.

Gravy · 04-22-2009

Sell him the one that's out before you get a new motor to get a good start on a stroker motor.

That engine bay is a fucking mess. lol Why did they put so much shit in these cars?

FattyBoomBatty · 04-22-2009

Because they were the flippin' flagship, son!

Woooo, it actually seen daylight today. Ran pretty good to. Little bit of a idle problem nothing sever and barely noticeable, probably still because I need an actual MAS vs Guesswork. Got a front license plate mount extremely ghetto fabbed but it looks good tho. More or less just excited to start driving it, and now it will sit for two days until the rain goes away thats coming.

I love these cars, beautiful.

Febo · 06-22-2009

Well, as some of you know, probably only like 2 people really, my car was having a CRAZY rear end problem that felt like sick wheel hop, or like death was coming. So I finally got under there to inspect and do a fluid change and what did I find?

1.) Torn inner CV boot
2.) One of the 2 mounts holding the diff, was no longer holding the diff.

The diff on these is mounted to the subframe by two rubber mounts with one bolt from each going into a tab on the top of the diff, well one of the mounts bolts snapped. So the diff was just kinda hanging.

Well, long story short, she has new CV boots on the drivers side, and a new shiney bolt holding the diff back on, and now shes a tire burning fuel cutting monster again.

Now its time for a maff to see if that cures what ails it.

123abc · 06-22-2009

I bet that was a nice suprise! Was the bolt rusted or it just broke off?

Gravy · 06-22-2009

From the sounds of it, was a little bit of both. Rust and a busted bolt, gotta love MN and rust.

FattyBoomBatty · 06-22-2009

Did you check to see if the metal portion of the mounts was seperated from the rubber at all? That's also somewhat common on these things. It give a big thud when you put it into reverse usually.

Febo · 06-22-2009

The rubber mounts were in GREAT shape, and once I actually got to working on that bolt (after I talked to Gravy) it wasnt rusted at all, it just fractured and then the head side backed out it looked like. But she drives great. Yay.

Still havent done the MAF yet, being lazy today.

Febo · 07-02-2009

Sold, time for a new project now. Who wants to sell me a 1g with a motor for like 1k.

turbotalon1g · 07-02-2009

lol, if you had the money and you got me on the right day you could have mine. Im ready to get the Z started and buy a truck.

Febo · 07-03-2009

When are your "right" days, and are those DSM clearance days, everything must go for $1500 or less?

FattyBoomBatty · 07-06-2009

Wow, that was quick. Got any left over shit?
