Replaced cam and crank wiring to solve a cut problem. Car runs better, but problem remains.

Did you install the box in the fender? You can remove this and you'll get a little more intake noise. However, if you are planning to fjord any rivers, I'd probably leave it in.

I removed the silencer in the fender and used an old 90 hose I had for an old intake to seal the fender hole and connect inside the air box. The box is from a 90s na and doesnt bolt up right so that's the only thing securing it and doing quite well

I learned that I hate hate HATE removing/installing the timing belt. I also learned that PO jacked up the bolt hole for the tensioner pulley, so I just spent 2 hours digging one out of a junk yard.

Maybe I should use glue the belt down so it doesn't jump teeth on install. That sounds like a great idea.

Thats a pretty common problem. What i usually do in that case is re tap the threads and just put a longer bolt in. Works just fine and saves you from having to run around.

I both lack a tap and die set, and needed my car running faster than it would take to procure a set worth spending money on.

Changed rear diff fluid and discharged my AC compressor at work. Got home and took the compressor out, so now to fab a bracket for the coolant tank to go in that spot! I also installed a cold air intake today and replaced so janky intercooler hose. Runs smoother. I re-routed my BPV hoses too.
