well i got the pics up today. got her almost finished. took some cursing at it to get the drivers axle to go in then back out. the clip was bad and was holing it in the tranny but after 10 or so mins of a hammer and srewdriver it cam out. and i droped in another one. got the tires on and droped the car down. fired it up (no choke on a cold start) and i ran her back and forth in the yard to settle the parts in then i started to work the brakes and it looks like the m/c is dead i have almost no brakes (new all the way around) and the brake flued is full.
still need a choke cable
1 more bolt on the muffler
plug the o2 hole and wire the tranny up and i can hit the road. yeah.. anyway here are some newest pics.

my nice idle

the dc on the d15a1 in the car

well just a short update. i desided to pull the car out of the back yard and give her a run down the road, well i got out of the backyard and to the fornt driveway. i had some issues to deal with first.
1 i have a liquid trail following the car to where i parked turned out its antfreeze. short of it was the top hose wasnt on all the way and under presser it was leaking.
2 i had a clicking noise and it got faster as i drove. turned out i had metal hitting the cvc boot clamp by the tranny. so bent it out of the way.
3 filled tranny with oil. 2L and still wonts more but i ran out.

after all this was done gave her a run and she seems ok. the cluch is almost gone for a clutch that was said to be still good. so i might not beable to do meany runs at mission before it dies.

but shes getting licenced tommrrow i hope and i will deal with the vin # stuff later i have till nov for aircare.

Just make sure the clutch is adjusted properly before buying a new one.

so im .4 short on the tranny oil. thanks. and the clutch is to have a bit of play on the leaver right? if so its there and a bit more and the clutch is at the bottom of the pedal.

well heres were she stands now. got her plated and gave her a highway run.
got in the driveway and found my drivers sidemarker was hangign off. opps. forgot to screw it on. but other then that she runs great. the clutch isn't that bad as i tought, needed to get used i guess. now i will drive around for a few week to work out the bugs. and then off to mission in july for a drag run and then the laps with doodson. well enough talk heres the resent pics.
