Project AW11: Low n Slow

i wish

i finished rebuilding the distributor sunday before work. today i got around to installing it. i took it for a drive to see how everything was going (first drive btw, awesome power). i got on it a bit more and noticed smoke from behind me in my rear view mirror. i pulled over quickly and popped the lid. by doing so, i fueld the fire even more by giving it some oxygen.

i called 911 emediately after that, but by the time the trucks came, my car was gone.

FUCK!!! now i need a new car... and after all that time and money

 

FUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

first mine gets a tree to the roof and then yours lights on fire? wtf

damn

idk what to even tell you

least mine is still intact... but damn fucking shit man that sucks...

 

haha, knowing you Kevin and your luck, it may have happened. j/k

 

OH NO . Quick find a NA6 to put the wheels on!

 

april fools

 

Yeah I was thinking about that haha

 

at least now im super paranoid about getting it running today...

 

just keep a fire extinguisher near by... and some hot dogs

Tofu dogs then.

 

wow i read the whole thing and was like fuck that sucks cause like specter said his get a tree on it then your but thats a good one man. i want a video man that thing sounded amazing how did everything feel though?

 

first driving impressions:
-clutch feels awesome, almost too awesome for this little car
-need to set timing, i have little to no power down low, lots up high (supercharger, what?)
-need to flush coolant better than i did, still have some oil in there from the BHG
-needs an alignment BAD. car doesnt turn, then turns on a dime. (toe in issue, i over corrected when i attempted to fix it by eye-balling it)
-also need to figure out why it dies when coming to a stop...

heres the connection i traced down that sucked. 2 injectors weren't connected to the ECU because of this.



and video of it idling

PS: anyone want to donate a video camera to me?

 

well it looks alright but no sound (

 

yeah, i have no idea why i dont have sound anymore. i used to after uploading it... but i guess i'll upload it again.

 

i thought i didnt like the different wheels front and back, but in the video i got a better look and i think it looks good! lol!

 

yeah the car definitely has a nice stance now. when i pulled it out of the garage, just looking from the rear, the car is LOW and wide

also, i uploaded the video again, so it should work. (sound works for me)

 

exhaust cam is 1 tooth off, which explains the lack of power (felt like a stock 4age). also, there was a fuel leak high rpm off-throttle at cyl 4 where the injector mates with the head. i also had a bit coming out of the rail at the banjo bolt. so i ordered new injector seals and decided to go with a -6AN stainless braided fuel line with Earl's fittings.

HOPEFULLY, i can get it all sorted out and finally drive the thing. this shit is getting annoying.

 

oh yeah all the little things will get to you

 

yeah. things really add up too.

that fuel line was $120 (smallest hose was 10ft, which was most of that price). it should be here tomorrow though

 

omg race car





(injector seal kits should be here tomorrow)
