Lots done today. weee... and I thought I would be done by Christmas 2003. I thought that this would be cheap and easy. Well it has not! Not even close. 60 days. I am averaging 6 hours a day working on this car. That is about 360 hours worth of work. Now all I basically have to do is put the car back together again. |
 |
1 Man that is one big lump. |
 |
2 I removed the cam cover once it was out of the car, cleaned it and painted it. Today I reinstalled the seals and bolted it back on. Installed the Accell U-Groove spark plus set at .50mm. |
 |
3 Installed the transmission cooler line. |
 |
4 I will need to do a Lowes run tp get some new fittings for the transmission oil cooler. |
 |
5 Here is the cover installed. |
 |
6 I need to redo the crankcase vents. I am not happy with them |
 |

 |
10 Ran all the spark plug wires to the end of the engine. |
 |
11 Installed the water pump pulley, tensioner and belt. |
 |
12 Installed the transaxle computer harness. Also installed the bypass pipe for the water pump. |
 |

 |
14 One harness connector for the transaxle. |
 |
15 Test fitting the DFUs on the mount that I welded up. |

17 I'll mount the DFU's the other way. |
 |
18 I wonder of Electromotive has the stickers for the 3 and 4 coil. |
 |
19 Here is the completed mount. DFU's the proper way. |
 |
20 another view |
 |
21 Spark plug wires fed underneath the mount. |
 |
22 I like it better with the wire being run under the cover. Just looks cleaner. |
 |
23 I held a contest on the MR2OC.com message board to see who could come up with a winning design for a logo. Well, here is it... Congrats to Rick Manship. Now I have to get it made. |
 |

 |
26 Throttlebody completed. I just need to redu the fuel feeds for the injectors. |
 |

 |
28 The air temp sensor is installed. I need to find a plug for the other hole there. |
 |
29 Yes I know the axles came apart. I need to get to Cadillac and get the proper straps. I purchased an assortment of straps, but they are too small. Yes, I will clean them and repack them as there is water in them now. |
 |
30 Speed sensor wire tied to the cooler line. |
