ok the before pics are here:

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/ind...howtopic=29942



but anyway here's a detail of what i did today:

Walbro fuel pump ($100), fiero e-fan ($30), coolant overflow moved ($5), removed p/s, removed a/c, changed oil ($12), replaced trans bushing thing by the trans mount (free), removed carpet lining from trunk.



So all this cost me: $147 and saved me tons of weight and made the engine more reliable.



What i wanted to do but didnt:

Make mounting brackets for e-fan, relocate relays from the front to somewhere else, remove cruise control, finish my rear carpetting.



I got lazy towards the end thats why i skipped those little things, ill probably finish those tomorrow before work. anyway onto the pics:

i got an FMIC (vosko spec large npr, zoom zoom)



i gotta continue to clear out the engine bay tho as I am having a horrible time finding a way to run the I/C piping.



I wanna throw the battery in the hatch cause then that side will be easy as hell, the other side ill have to be creative with.

Remove those front 2 pully wheels on the main pully!!!



It will look better, and it's just 4 bolts.

Also, what was the point of moveing the overflow tank??? And were are those 2 plastic piece's that go inbetween your radiator/front bumper.

2 plastic pieces? didnt move two plastic pieces so i guess they just werent there which means a previous owner removed them.



as for moving the overflow bottle, im making room a ginormous FMIC which will be getting planted back there. I still have to move those relays, move the horns, trim some bumper support ****, then ill be done in that area.
