Fenda's uber garage Engine Build - Page 12

sweet build and awesome pick up of the seat. I love FD leather seats when they are in good condition like that. Sadly.. i've never actually see a good condition leather one in person.

I just realized how similar our fuel rail setups are. Needless to say, i like it. And thanks for the hint on how to run the lines under the car and mounting the filter. Looks like much less of a daunting task then I was expecting.

Can't wait for more progress!

I see the bolt holding the seat beat finally decided to break loose! Looking good Levi.

Did you find the hardware for the PS bracket?

Cheers Mitch. Yeah, snagging that seat while I was there was a good bit of foresight, lol!

Yeah, that bastard was in there GOOD!! It ended up coming out after several days of being hit with liquid wrench/PB Blaster, then I got fed up and went out to get 10" extension for my 1/2" breaker bar and it slowly started coming loose.

Yeah, I gave Ray Crowe a call and he gathered up the stuff I needed.

Pussy..... torch that shit!

JL1RX7 · 03-07-2013, 06:10 PM

A torch with a really hot flame on the end in Levi's hands not for sexual favours? How might that be a good combo?

I wanted to save the hotness, and the wax, as a surprise for when Brian came back down

So a quick weekend update:

After fixing a sticking throttle, some fuel leaks, a small oil leak, a flooded engine and fouled plugs we got my car fired up on Saturday. Having her start up, run, and hold temperature well was an awesome feeling after fighting with the car on Friday night, and all the work put in on it during the week..

So we towed the FD up to Speed1 for a break-in tune. We got a late start and didn't arrive to Speed1 until later in the evening. Once we arrived (with beer and coffee beans) there was a bit of bullshitting and some minor work then it was time for pulling the car of the trailer... Much to my dismay we realized that my clutch master cylinder was toast

... So the work stopped and that was pretty much the end of it for the weekend.

I just called up Ray Crowe (my phone had him ranked higher than my parents on my "favorites" list! Lol) and will have a new clutch MC sent up to S1. I'll drive back up on Friday and Brian and I will bench bleed/install the new MC then pick up where last weekend left of.

I'm starting to feel like Odysseus, and the FD is my Odyssey.

FD's are not know for financial disasters for nothing! Glad you got it running!

Fendamonky · 03-11-2013, 05:06 PM

This is very true, and I'm well aware of it, lol! Yeah, thanks... I'm def stoked that it's (otherwise) hunky dory as well.

JL1RX7 · 03-11-2013, 05:35 PM

Let me know if you need a driver/rider this weekend.

Fendamonky · 03-11-2013, 08:39 PM

I think I may be leaving work early on Friday and running up with Bianca in the Miata. I'll let you know if it looks like that's gunna fall through though.

GTR · 03-13-2013, 12:29 AM

Great build up, just read the whole thing!

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-13-2013, 08:40 AM

I think it would wise to bring Jack instead of Bianca
Jack would want to hang around and see the doings and help. Bianca would want to turn tail and leave.... what happens if there is something else wrong with the clutch and you need a ride back to VA?
Assumption is the mother of all fuckups...
