Have you confirmed fuel and spark. Are you running MS?

No spark. did the plug test:

I cant see fuel in the plugs, nor can I really smell it.

Fuel pump works, you can here it.

There is fuel pressure.

Coil packs had it?
Common problem on 98-00

adamvanxxx · 03-19-2012, 06:02 PM

Check all grounds?

The injectors could possibly not be grounding.

That wouldn't explain the fuel.

Yeah just checked them all, and checked the harness plugs with a multimeter.

I think either my cam or the crank sensor is fubared somehow

imput1234 · 03-20-2012, 02:43 PM

Got a new power steering reservoir to replace the ugly stock one:

imput1234 · 03-22-2012, 02:57 PM

still waiting for some sensors to see if the car works, but in the mean time:

got some AN fittings:

looks ugly:

so I painted it:

some more ricer stuff showed up:

imput1234 · 04-07-2012, 11:58 PM

Got the car running finally sometime last week, but was super busy till today, drove around all fast and the furious with no bumper and hood haha:

still need to fix the ps tho

imput1234 · 04-08-2012, 07:41 PM

A buddy got a new welder recently, so I went to him, and we fixed the power steering today,

first made a bracket for the power steering cooler:

then made another bracket for the PS reservoir:

then made the lines, and mounted everyting:

I think it looks cooler now:

Yeah me too, I took a bunch of measurements today of both. I'll post up a detailed review later in a couple of weeks after I get a feeling for the stance.

Also got these today:

So today I installed the extended RUCA's and the coilovers.

But I have way to much positive camber in the back, and way too much negative camber in the front. lol

So I basically can't figure out a ride height before I get it aligned tomorrow.

Right now the fronts too low, and the backs too high. Hopefully it'll even out lol.

The rear just has a collar left, so if I remove the collar, the rear is lower than the front. haha

scsi · 04-19-2012, 11:01 PM

nice! you should just crank the rear eccentric bolts as far negative as theyll go for now since you plan on getting an alignment anyway

Yeah I tired that. But the thing is since the wheels are -5 offset, and the RUCAs removed a SHIT TON of camber, I basically had to flare the fuck out of 1/4's for them to be useful. I've decided against doing that for right now so I put the stock ones back on.

and just like I thought I have wayyy to much camber now

Oh well gotta do what you gotta do, got a track day tomorrow so no time to flare shit. Hopefully someone makes a blister overfenders soon

and this also happend the day before, my driveway randomly decided to fuck up my fender

so I did this, it works now and doesnt rub, but looks super ugly

Cant really tell from 5ft away tho lol. I enjoy the ride height, but hate the camber, hopefully that'll be addressed soon.

monkey.magicx · 04-20-2012, 03:01 PM

still looks badass to me.

scsi · 04-21-2012, 07:31 PM

how the heck are you getting so much camber?! do you have offset bushings up front? and what about the rear? i just wanted 3 degrees all around for my hoosiers and was having a hard time dammit i would take some of that camber off your hands if i could hehe

It sucks, lets trade camber lol.

Wen't to first drift day of the season yesterday and it sucked lol.

First the weather sucked it rained 1/2 day, then it sprinkled, and it was retarded cold the entire day. Second the track layout sucked balls, they changed the layout multiple times on us. Third the track sucked ass, there were fucking potholes and speed-bumps everywhere.

Got very very little seat time, probably the least seat time I have ever gotten at an event. Since it was a ProAM event the uncaged drivers got 1/2 the time allotted anyways, and it seemed like the tested all the retarded layouts on us, which too a lot of time and sucked.

car sucked too lol, powesteering fluid started leaking out of the pressure housing, I'm guessing one of the o rings needs to be replaced. Then I hit one of the bumps on the track right off the bat, pulled down the fucked up fender back down, and I rubbed that for the rest of the event lol.

Anyways ended up leaving early cause the event sucked:

First time in an event where I drove back with tires lol, I only brought 1 pair with me, and I thought that wouldn't be enough, but I barely used those two tires (took this pic before I left):

powesteering fluid everywhere:

one of my runs from the 1st session, didn't really bother using the go pro after that, it just sucked lol:

kieran · 04-22-2012, 04:57 PM

Whats the specs on those equips?

Unfortunate about the event man..
