So heres an update, The whole front end is completely done! Only the back left to do...

I final got to taking down the fuel tank to install the wb 255, & Iv decided to redo the return & feed line & just run the vap line to the open from tank. ( I Wasnt going to but at least ill have piece at mind driving somewhere)

I had my gauges in the pass side dash on my civic build, So i decided to do the same thing for my colt, It came out even better looking, I have the wideband, water temp & oil pressure gauge mounted in the dash ( real clean look!) will have pics up ASAP...

Im in process of completely finishing whole brake line system & drums(for time being) Im just on hold because of wheel cylinders (Cant seem to get right ones ordered)

Im going tomorrow to pitstop for some Colt rear kybs & will use with awd springs for the rear

Im ordering some 0 Gauge wire for the battery in the trunk, I also put the kill switch on the rear bumper. I still need to complete the battery box this coming week, & mount in the back.

I also welded & fixed my awd downpipe to fit the fwd, Its hung up finally.. I have the 3 inch to flex pipe to a Glasspack goes to about underneath middle of car ( No cat, No muffler) Sounds nice!!

................................................................................


After the above I still need to finish doing the defogger wiring, wiper wiring and cleaning the whole mess over there & hook up the Safc & put the dash all back together. & bleed everything & adjust clutch pedal & shift cables... (almost) Hopefully this weekend depending if i get the wheel cylinders..

Im bored so Iv decided to try & fab up a front strut bar for the time being( only time spent so thought id give it a whirl) well see how it turns out, Ill work on that after I finish welding together my battery box

Ok so i ended up finishing the whole fuel system ... I ended up using a bulkhead for my feed line, the bulkhead was to big so i had to enlarge the bolt holes... in all it came out pretty good! Tonight im going to be finishing up the whole brake lines & rear brakes and take out the rear struts so tomorrow i can put the kyb & awd springs in... Than tires back on ... And all thats left is the dash to put together, and adjust clutch pedal I finally got the 4 gauge wire and ran back to the rear for the battery... The battery box is not yet done, Iv been lagging on that

Is the gauge on the steering column boost? I would switch the boost and wideband around so you see AFR over boost.

yes the boost gauge is on the colume for now... along with the single shift light... its a temp spot, I am not to sure where to put the boost gauge for sure, along with the shift light... As for the wideband and other gauges, I can actually see the wideband numbers from where im sitting pretty good..


Anyways... Update... I finished the timing belt, new dowel pin in camshaft, On a good note the car idles good! I havent done a compression test, I still need to tune,adjust cas & break in the clutch.

Ok so its been awhile since I last updated this. I have been DD this colt, Its been great. Except for that timing belt mishap, but everything is good now. So I manage to finish the battery box finally a few months ago. I am bolting down the battery box & finishing the kill switch wiring. I put the !g leather steering wheel in thanks to my friend along with a heatshield. By this weekend I plan to move the fan switch inside the car, clean up the bay a Bit. Change out the thermostat & change a slim fan position from front to back. Putting in a new DP gasket. I am also changing out the trans because my 3rd gear grinds. I am putting in equal length axles I bought. I will also be sanding down all my oz rally rims to bare metal with a clear glaze coat. After all that I think im good for awhile. I might be putting some rubber bushings back in the cross member between the bolts to ease some vibrations. Pics will be posted asap! Also got my veteran plates in CIAO LOL
