    Well, I’m back in school as of a few days ago. Being the President in student council, AP classes, and the Insane amounts of homework I have, it took me a while to get an update. But here’s what I’ve got for today.









    I love wiring… :l







    The Whole JetTronic MFI section came of quite easily





    Broken Head bolt



    Lovely.



    So, this whole Emissions, haggard air flow crap goes all around the engnine and into the exhaust. I don’t like it. But living in the great state of California I have to have it to get it smogged. It suck. It literally was not even flowing. The tubes were clogged with what looked like pubes and torn up carbon fiber.







    Although I got a new one with the car in a box full of goodies, I’m just going to take care of it now and replace it with electronic.





    Someday 






    Some shots of mine and my dad's car






    This is Where I Ended today… Time for homework.

    Thanks guys. The comments really keep me going and want to add to this.


    So for the past week, I’ve been with my buddy Troy putting on coilovers. We did an ’05 civic, the next day a ’04 (Ibelieve)VW Golf, and the next day I helped my buddy on his civic adjust coilovers and changed his oil.

    Then I got to business. Dropped the engine, found the few problems, cleaned it up. My dad borrowed a air leakdown tester (Probably not the right name, excuse me.) so we will be doing that tonight.

    Camera memory is full, so I took these with my phone.





    Economy Class fitment…






    Hunger Games midnight release party at blockbuster. It was Lit up in there. Cougars for days.




    Mechanical fuel injection




















    THICK



    Gotta go wide for the Borbets



    Trapdoor behind front seats to adjust shift linkage.




    My bud’s E30. Someone overheated…. lulz



    Big Vinny





    This guy slept on my lawn…

    Dropped the engine today, oil all over. Oil drenched spark plugs, and 2 dead cylinders. It isn't terrible. Time to take it apart and rebuild.
    My sd card is full , but i took a few on my phone I will put up later.

    If the motor is toast.. I have always wanted to find a older 930 or 3.2 with a dead motor and swap in a EJ25 for that flat burble sound but saving the high cost of p-car motor parts.

    At any rate, Check out Rennlist and pelican parts, there is a metric shit ton of knowledge and people willing to help on those sites.

    Thanks Mate, I know these engines are supposed to last a long time when properly maintained, but the engine is burning and blowing out lots of oil, not to mention the oil that is dripping off of the block and pooling up under the car after running. The actual engine is pretty dirty from all the years it sat, so I might as well clean it.

    If you have any suggestions, feel free to help me trouble shoot. thanks
