Fuark, that's a long list of stuff to do



My $0.02, get it running and take care of the tuning etc before you go around modifying other systems: KISS principle. I have seen plenty of builds (including my own) go to sh*t because accurate troubleshooting basically becomes impossibru when you add a few layers of untested mods on top of a non running engine.



What do you mean by traction bars?

Is this thing still registered and inspected?

He doesn't need traction bars. Believe me, his tires are permanently stuck to the pavement after sitting there for the past 10 years.

OMG, I have to say I REALLY needed a laugh today!! If ever there was a build that was the epitome of 'Rolling Fire Hazzard' it would be this poor Lantra. AND I LOVE IT! I would splash some biohazzard stickers all over it and maybe some zombie body parts and blood and call it DONE.

I CAN say the same. After getting the Haltech wired up, it started and I engaged the clutch while in the garage to make sure the new push system all worked. Got the wheels rolling a few inches.

i DROVE mine 10-15 miles. even went to taco bell in it. boom.



anyways PICS!







that's when the wrench got mad at me and flew out of my hand in a fit of anger.







updated interior pic, cleaned up some of the wiring, removed carpet.







previous radio was destroyed in the move in a horrible melted candle incident. This high end stereo will power the finest, cheapest, wal-mart 6x9s that are currently in the car. #baller







reinstalled the back seat, lost the little corner pieces during the move, ill get some new ones eventually. ALSO SHOWN: bucket that is used to clean up the secretions of jongtr's mommas draws.







redid the charge pipe to remove the MAF, also machined a bung (heh) myself on the lathe in the shop. paid my professor a chicken sammich to weld it to the pipe for me.







and how the motor currently sits. im workin on the COP but am callin it a day since tomorrow is a hallmark holiday and im not supposed to have lube covered hands until after dinner.



since last update, ive also installed a new window regulator and motor to replace the full custom duct tape mod i previously had. also installed the spartan wideband. Need to run some wires for the IAT and finish the COP then run a basemap and see what happens.



ive also been gifted a heineken mini keg can im probably going to turn into the water tank storage for the A2W intercooler. should work out great.



going to need to wire up a new gauge cluster unfortunately, i broke the speedometer cable (again) and its getting tiresome replacing it. time to swap over to a tib electric setup and run a custom gauge cluster or something.
