Soooo this has been sitting in my drive way for over two weeks now and I still haven't been able to drive it apart for bringing it home...
I got it home and decided to fix anything the police might not like in case I got pulled over... pretty likely as the local sergeant doesn't like me.
And do some minor fix ups so it is more pleasant inside.
Any ways decided to raise it cause it was too low... no dramas just chucked in some standard springs for now.
fixed broken indicator lens, fixed up the tail lights, replaced globes and cleaned earth's, sorted out the dash... it had nothing at all holding it down.
Changed brake pads, It had shitty silverline ones, so put in some bendix pads. changed gear knob from a skull with light up eyes to a standard 5 speed knob.
Put rubbers on the pedals. Removed all the wiring that was left over from when it was on gas. Removed the monster tach (has inbuilt dash one so dunno why it was in there), hooked up the cd and dvd player so i had some tunes. And removed the harnesses so i could have back seat passengers. (God knows why i did that).
Well all this was fine and dandy and didn't worry me cause i knew it needed doing.
So it was finally ready to take for a hoon. so we put fuel in and load up. decide I'll let Dad drive as he's done most of the work and hadn't driven it yet.
We do a few blocks before he decides to open it up a bit and then the AFM shits its self. Got it home and did some investigating and found sh1t loads of dodgy wiring i.e bare wires, speaker wire used where it shouldn't be, bare earth and power wires touching each other... God knows how it even ran to begin with.
Also the ecu is standard but the injectors are larger due to the supercharger. So now we have to replace the ecu and AFM and go over all the wiring....
Ahh I hate when people who have know clue try to work on cars...
hopefully It'll be up and running in the next two weeks.
