New here, just getting started

[markopolo311]

So i just bought EVO8marlon/EG2's del sol, and i'm wondering where to get started on this thing. It needs a new interior which is straight foward, but since this car's for a girl she wants the AC hooked up. Where's the best place to start with that?

factory service manual! ftw

[markopolo311]

but it doesn't have the stock engine installed!

[DrunkScotsman]

lol, i didnt catch that part S_TO_N_E_D , ask the previous owner??

[markopolo311]

i'm currently trying to figure out the history of this car. So far i understand that it's gone DirtyOctopus > EG2 > EVO8MARLON > me

and i have no idea which one did the engine swap

[DrunkScotsman]

try pm'in them , they are all straight up guys , they would definitly be most of help!

look at the block code right above it will tell you what engine it is. then look on google to see what car it came out of. then by the service manual for that car.

just say wat motor is in the car now....so we can help wit wat parts u need for AC

[markopolo311]

according to the forsale post it's a D15z1 SOHC VTEC 1.5L

other than that i don't know how to identify it just by looking at it/where the engine block code is.

it's stamped in between the engine and flywheel were the little opening is

So yesterday i'm cleaning up the car real good, i finsh so I try and back it up into it's spot out of the way.
I throw it in reverse and as soon as i let the clutch out the car torques and i hear a loud '"PING!"'. The car backed up fine, but i go look on the driveway after i park it and there's an 8 inch long bolt about 3/4" in diameter lying there.

any idea where it goes?
i'll put up a picture of it when i get the chance.

yeah dud it's looks like the bolt for the tranny mount! when i put in my clutch and flywheel i had to take those mounts off!

EGLover119 > Dirty Octopus > Annhilation > EG2 > EVO8marlon > you
EG2 or Annhilation did the swap

you can talk to me for the most part about the history... but for AC get all the stock SOHC components and the del sol VTEC bracket (if you're going DOHC)

[§treet_§peed]

lol that bolt sorta looks like one that goes on the tie bar, i think, in the back of the car

[Dirty Octopus™]

it actually kinda looks like it goes through the starter. Check to see if you have to bolts going through your starter.

[§treet_§peed]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dirty Octopus™ again.

[markopolo311]

thanks whyt_teg, it was the bolt that goes through the trans mount rubber.
