its was kinda a ruf project becuase it was the first time i ever got this indepth on a project. so i had to take my time, and take steps my friend gave me on the project. he sat back and made sure i was doing it all right.


but other then that its all good. she was over heating yestarday becuase that hose i broke, but i fixed it temperally untill i can get a new radiator.
ya good luck to you on the project, hopfully its a smooth ride. i highly recamended anyone to do this to there car, its quicker and so much funner! and plus the good thing about it is your doing some weight reduction. the auto is very big and heavy. the manuel is light and a little shorter in langth.


later today im going to post pic's. sorry its taking so long

heres my car, waiting


yep the shifter


the blown auto, got the intake pipes off


heres birtha in all her crappy glory


tranny's out, got the flywheel in and the clutch all ready for the manuel tranny

holy clutch of justice!!

yay, manuel is in!

mounting up the shifter
there you go. ill put more pic's on tomarow morning

here she is back when she was untuched by my hands


here she is today, finally back home


the manuel pedals, look like they've always been there.


heres the shifter, ive got to pick up the manuel inteior panal so i can have a boot.


heres the tranny, got my speed sensor hooked up. i have my bov leaking into the atmospher for now because the niple off the intake broke off. now ive got a crappy idle.


i just installed my diamond pack, bought it for $3.00. works perfectly .


the only thing ive got left to do now is, my front ball joints arnt all the way on so they click when i let off the gas. so im going to be doing that today.

fun, fun!

and thats my project!

oh and a couple of other things.


first: the wireing harns that go's under the dog bone and the hose that gos to your heater core has to be put over the top of the dog bone other wise your fork wont be able to more freely. also it gives you more room to hook up the clutch cable.

second: there are two wires in the engine bay you have to hook up other wise your car wont get the signal from your ignition to start the car. there colors are, gray/red & yellow/green.

then there are two wires in the interior that will need to be connected for you to get your keys out of the ignition, they are. blue and black.

i still haven't hooked up my revese lights, but what ever!

The wire in the engine bay, are you referring to the circuit that went to the inhibitor switch?

The key issue, pull the controller, and you don't have to do anything.

oh, i didnt know about that. mines still hooked up. same with the auto tranny computer. lol

so my power light comes on when i floor it.

Unplug the TCU as well.

If you haven't read my write-up, I'd recommend you do that.

ya i think its time to pull that computer, my idle its geting worse.

Your idle problem is most likely caused by your bypass valve being used atmospherically, as it opens at idle, leaking metered air=craptacular idle

ya i know that the valve is also causeing it some of the problem.

but its when i come up to a stop my idle stays at 1500rpms untill im almost stopped. its been raining like crazy here and i really dont want to work on her anymore in the rain .

heh today i got my car side ways at a T stop. it was awsome.
