Spent all damned day finishing the engine and then had to do a bunch of ghetto fabulous wiring. I actually drove it around the block with Apnea and Benzalea in the back with the wife and me up front. I think we got some pics they took, I'll have to throw them up when I get them. Looks like I get to park the FD tomorrow and drive the pickup to work!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

haha, they fit?

ironic the FD is more reliable https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Yeah I've had to resort to daily driving it for the past 3 months. Course I daily drove my other FD that was the single turbo beast for 3 years. Who says FD's aren't reliable for daily drivers....

ironic he would rather drive a mini pickup then a fd https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Mine is reliable until it breaks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Glad to hear you got her running...I gotta bum a ride from you in your truck so I can see if it rides as cute as it looks

Hey dude, we have another major project underway that you may be interested in. We're seriously considering buying some paint equipment and painting some cars. We want to paint Cyan's FD, since its kinda hurting for paint. We've been doing the research and I think we're gona attempt it. If it goes well and actually looks good maybe you'd be interested too. Our goal is to paint all our cars silver, so you need to get in line with the rest of us.

Was a fun time...That wiring was definately ghetto tho https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif Yes but it works. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif Someday when I'm bored I should redo the WHOLE harness. I like your one clip idea.

Yeah that would work...we could all call ourselves the silver bullets and get matching gold bracelets and jackets that say "SILVER BULLETS" and people would-ah i'll just shutup about it.



I like my car being red, but if you guys turn out quality stuff, I'd be interested in redoing my car factory red. All 3 of you have my number, give me a call tomorrow.

I probably shouldn't even post this wire job, but here's the ghetto style wiring. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

is that a peice of wood ?

you said....









wood.

Thats one of those transistor radios you buy from Radioshack with the quartz crystal tuner.

Yeah piece of wood.



So I take the truck to the gas station to fill up the tank. A few gallons into the fill up fuel starts to pour from the tank somewhere. Yep, gotta hole in the tank. JB weld is my friend.

jb weld is the ****..





it held a my girlfriends old lumina block together.. it ran for well over 4 months.. then we traded it in... hahahahah

Couple of my work trucks got vandalized by them drilling holes in the tanks. So I took JB weld and pennies and covered the holes. Held great.

is that the before or after wiring job?



looks like OEM british wiring to me!

LOL, yeah oem british wiring job!

french made wires! british enginuity!

I can't say why, buy I thought your pick-up was blue, did you get another one, or did my meds run out?

I have a blue mini and a red mini.

if you take the red one the trip ends?

and if you take the blue one, you can drive down the rabbit hole to see how far it goes

Thanks Dan, you just had to go and mention the old single turbo'd FD. I rode in that monster not tuned and without seatbelts, can't imagine if it were running right and I was actually strapped to my seat. I'd done a good job of pushing it out of my memory, now I've got Boost envy again.

Don't let Banzai see those pictures, or he'll kill you.

Rust galore. Time to strip it and do a real restore job.
