Hey, those pics are from 2005! Hahah, just kidding man. Hate it when my camera does the same thing there and resets the date because my ass was too lazy to charge the battery before it died out. Looks like it's coming together nicely and quick.
@ZFreie: Call up your insurance company and put glass coverage on the car. Call JN Phillips about 2 or so weeks after and tada, free windshield. It'll be a lot cheaper than actually paying out of pocket for it. Coverage on my car for the year was like $50 or $60. Beats the hell out of $400+. |
Meh, 400$ for the next 15 years isn't to bad lol
I'm pretty sure this is the original windshield... |
new hampshire has no windshield coverage, go figure.
|
motor is all together, glass company is coming tomorrow to put a windsheild in the car. i got half the bearings i need for the trans, guess i had the wrong p/n for the input shaft bearing. i think it will be on the road next week fo shizzle!

|
new windsheild is in. engine is all together, going to put it in the car sunday. sam ordered me TSP long tubes and offroad y as an early birthday present! going to put trans together monday. once the headers and y pipe show up ill get the car running then its off to don for a tune up! i am so pumped, i cant wait to drive it again!
|
AWESOMEEEEEE!! Congrats!
|
hellll yeah!!! hit me up ill come by to help!
|
i think ill have it running tuesday, im going to throw the manifolds and cats on it for the break in. it will be alot quieter and safer to break the motor in with them on instead.
|
Good call
|
tune still going to be way out man but not as bad as with the long tubes
|
Eh it has a maf and safe timing it'll adjust fine

MAF should take care of most of it. Wish my car had one maybe the extra head flow and 2 point drop in C/R wouldnt effect the car so bad.

the headers wont be here until monday though, i dont want to wait until the last minute to fire it up and break it in. they were supposed to be here this friday so now i am even more crunched for time.
|
Looks Great joe. Why didn't u wait for headers to go on before you set motor in
|
so he dont loose a week of break in time
|
it ran for the first time tonight! sounded great! to bad i still have to put the trans together before i can say its done. have a few odds and ends to finish as well.
|
Awesome!!!!!
|
Nice Joe!
|
runs so smooth and quiet! motor never ran like this before, feels very responsive
|
since everything in the cooling system was empty i took the opportunity to rid this car of dex cool. i filled it with zerex g-05 coolant 50/50 with deionized water. i looked this up and it seems like a popular thing to do, will not cause issues. g-05 has a better additive package than dex cool.

couple pictures, engine bay looks so nice now, engine looks much cleaner to. the water pump housing is disgusting but i figured it would be a waste of time cleaning it since ill prob have to replace it soon.
|
Yeah dex-cool's inhibitor is shit man. Found this out at work because some of our systems used it, but not for long. Looks like she's coming together great. Wished I was closer, would be able to lend a hand easier.
|
Looks good but now the iroc will never be finished!
|
Awesome!! Can't wait to see it in person
