Red Pepper Racing

My goal is to drop the EW into Liz before the end of the month. I really could use some help from RPR members who have "been there, done that" and are willing to visit lovely Emmaus, Pennsylvania. Time frame would be the weekend of May 19/20 or May 26/27. What's in it for you? Hot dogs/hamburgers on the grill, pizza and adult beverages for those 21 and older. Overnight guests can crash here.

If you got the time and want to help, let me know. I would greatly appreciate any and all help.

Thanks!

hey
I could help out on the 26 and 27th, I havs some exsperence with installing engines

I can't make it that weekend, but feel free to put my number on speed dial. I'll do my best to help any way I can by phone. I'll PM my number to you.

How close are you to Washington, PA?

Me and chris can be there, might bring a technician from wasabi auto as well.

Which one? There is one south of Pittsburgh, that would be a haul (5+ hrs). The other is near Carlisle, about 2 hours.

This could turn into a mini (working) meet if I get enough volunteers. The only reason I ask is because I have never done anything like this before and I am more likely to F* something up without experienced help.

Thanks for the replies so far, I will firm up a weekend asap.

I'll try to make it up. Only issue right now is the lack of a job...

That would be great!


Looks like I'll have the "cherry picker" by May 19/20th weekend. Today I picked up radiator hoses, battery and cables, tranny fluid...

May 19th just got pooped on - goddaughter's college graduation (could get out of it if enough people are willing to show up). Also just realized that the 26th/27th is Memorial weekend. I have a family picnic at my house on Sunday. So here's the plan:

Friday, May 25th - get house ready for picnic and "project Liz"
Saturday, May 26th (all day) - drop in engine/hook things up and attempt to start
Sunday, May 27th (all day) - all are welcome to picnic

*Food and beverages served all weekend to RPR members

This schedule gives me time to gather parts and things that I still need to make Saturday a smooth operation. Speaking of which, what all is needed? Off the top of my head, I have:

engine
engine oil
trans
trans fluid
clutch/flywheel
wire harness
battery/cables
coil
radiator/hoses
coolant
new fuel filters
new starter
new alternator
new plugs/wires

I dont know how old the gas in liz is but if its realy old it wouldent hurt to get new gas, also fuel filter

also to all the guys coming i am parting out my 87 crx dx and can bring parts so pm and ill see if i have the parts

What is this, I think it's broke?!


Just a hint of what's in store - engine bay:






Liz's powerplant:

umm that part thats broken looks like its part of the intake manifold!!!!, does it come off,??? ill bring my intake if you dont have a spare.

That "part" is a water bypass to the carburator and back into the IM/head.
