[quickdodge®]

If you would, resize your pics. Later, QD.

[03RCode]

Looks a hell of alot better than it did when we started. You need to get the turbo back on that thing in a bad way, I'd hate to see it lose to my DD haha. Now host them pics on Photobucket.

[Oz10]

Nice work man. That interior looked hideous!

[91eflx]

[91eflx]

[rmeyer114]

give u props man for the project but as far as the project itself wtf were u thinkin to buy such an ugly ass car

[91eflx]

it was cheap and my other vehicle is a suburban at 10 mpg so i wanted this plus ef's rock

[91eflx]

Ok Guys I have a problem today when driving my car it started going crazy. At about 2700 rpm the tach just goes crazy and jumps all over the place and the car bogs a little but if you punch it hard the tach eventually straightens back out at around 4k and the car takes off like a rocket (well a slow rocket with a stock d16a6 that is). I think it is the Ignitor (Ignition control module or ICM)
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance-- Justin

[Mad Mike]

Take your distributor cap off and check the set screw that hold on the rotor. That what caused my tach to jump around.

[91eflx]

i checked all of the wires but forgot that lol thanks ill try it tomorrow

[Mad Mike]

yea that little screw likes to fall out and it is a pain to find it and reinstall it. But most of you tach issues are caused by it.

[91eflx]

i touched the rotor and it didnt seem loose but ill try it its worth a shot

[JDM-95-Hatch]

that's a 1st, i have honestly never seen someone actually turbo the dual point fuel injection

[91eflx]

lol it never made boost thank god lol

[03RCode]

Your sig is epic.

[91eflx]

Your sig is epic.

i thought so best line of the week btw some little kid ruined it and got the quarter out lol

[MrBoostedCRX]

its going great, keep up the good work

[91eflx]

the rotor set screw was tight but i losened it took it off cleaned the rotor then put it back on and no difference

[91eflx]

ok i feel like an idiot i took out all of the plugs putem back in and it runs fine at the moment ill update again tomorrow if its still good i didnt drive it long today

[91eflx]

the plug wires didnt fix it so i replaced my ignitor with a new one that didnt help so i re checked all of the grounds and the thermostat housing ground was loose so far so go ive driven it about 30 miles

[91eflx]

car runs great now

got bored today and changed my valve cover gasket and painted it.

[Mad Mike]

[91eflx]

thanks man

[Brian*]

Looks way better Justin, keep on going* Looks sic under the hood... Check out some of the old school looking Sport Max wheels for it www.buywheelstoday.com they have good pricing.

I love old school cars, I can't wait to get my 73 Z going!!

[jcbe34]

Needs coilovers and some old school fittipaldi's or something. My only problem with these threads is:

Since when is spray-painting a car de-ricing it? The last 3 of these threads I've seen on here have all been flat black. Stay away from the spray paint import atlanta...

[Brian*]

THis is true^^ You can paint a car for almost as cheap as you can spray-bombing it...

Get that thing painted an old factory honda color!! It will look way better

[silversol]

so all you have done is spray paint and change color vacume lines and call it de rice?

[03RCode]

He also removed the ridiculous wing, halo's, the molded in body kit, the molded in hatchback tails, re-painted that ridiculous dash, lost the curbed to hell 17's, made all of the seat bolts actually functional (only 2 worked before), replaced the VC gasket, tinted the windows, lost all the blue under the hood, cleaned up alot of the wiring, made the fan actually functional, fixed the horrible wiring job that was there from the PO, etc.


Wether it looks like it in the pics or not this car has came a pretty long ways so far. It does still have a long way to go, yes. The rattle can job is only temporary as it will be sprayed soon.

[low mileage]

yeh the 91 and down body style the rotorary button is held on by a screw it fell out of my hatch a few times it will probably be stuck to the shii on the inside. of the dizzy-

[91eflx]

nahh the dizzy problem is fixed now the throttle cable broke lol
