Word...Red Stripe FTW!kcbhiw said:(nana)After a faulty oil pressure sender (that was a serious PITA to replace on the 1.8), and a slight miswiring of the CAS extension cable, she fired up at 11:50P Sat. Yaaay! She definately has a different sound from the 1.6L.
I need to finish up the new intake and run a wire for the VICS actuator to the MS and she'll be ready to go. Now I get to tune it all over again starting Sunday.
As for me, I'm gonna finish this Red Stripe (cheers)

Do you have any plans for the 1.6L?

Did you ever get that rum I sent you via Scott?
MiaTurbo said:Kevin, the discoloration on the top of the radiator near the filler cap looks like the plastic is old and getting weak. radiator barn has some good inexpensive all metal 2 row replacements... $140 shipped, real good deal, and more than enough to keep it cool. (no affiliation)
TheMAN said:good luck with that motor... there's a few 99 motors that had thrust bearing issues causing crank walks.... was a factory assembly defect
TheMAN said:you did replace the timing belt and water pump right? the valves will probably need to be adjusted also as it uses solid lifters
JDM-P5 said:Annnnnnnd?
How is she running!?
