mark247 38 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Well our plans to do the entire conversion in one night were short lived. I realised I had forgotten to buy the L joint that connects the resivour to the master cylinder... Hopefully have one sorted in the morning. Also decided to go watch all the boyracers at Te Rapa... there were hundreds and hundreds of cars.. including a heap of cops. We have the pedal box in and the auto box out... just need to assemble the rest now. Here are some pics ( for the lolz mainly ) Edited August 21, 2009 by Mark247 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got the car running, goes so much better with the manual. But now it doesn't idle. Possibly the auto ecu was messing with the idle, but that is disconnected and its still farked. I'm going to adjust the idle as when the kick down cable was removed it could of possibly slackened it off a bit maybe... who knows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark247 38 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 So here are some pics of where it's at now. Missing the front valence because I kept ripping it off, Im gonna cable tie that sucker on. Also i put my seat in it. It's pretty low in the front, so I'm thinking of getting some bigger spring pads or something.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
