Entry 3: Defeat
Posted On 06/12/2008 05:27:24 by mesarius
Today Sai12 and I went out and bought a battery and rented the engine hoist before she had to go to work.  First Amanda and I scraped and sanded the hood to begin working on removing its battle scars and rust spots.  After she had to leave I had just enough time before the sun went down to prime the hood.  After that I spent a good 3 hours trying to get the engine out myself before my buddy Chase made it over aroun 11pm, laying down a first coat of green on the hood some time arou...

Day 2-ish
Posted On 06/09/2008 04:25:23 by mesarius
The past few days have been absolutely terrible for going out and working on the car.  If anyone has been paying attention to the national news it has just been one round of severe weather after another so I haven't been able to do too much, but the time I've had to out has been productive.  One CV shaft is disconnected, another is giving us lots of troubles that we'll just deal with once it is out of the car, we haven't even touched the rear prop shaft yet.  The emissions control...

Day one: damage assessment and tweaks
Posted On 06/04/2008 22:38:41 by mesarius
Today was my first full day available to mess with the engine and prep the engine pay for accepting it.  The biggest issue I ran into was with the Air Conditioning.  The Japanese AC compressor is completely different from the North American one, and converting the Japanese motor to accept the USDM compressor would have been a challenge.  The Japanese compressor's bolt holes for connecting the hoses are to the right of the ports, where as on the USDM compressor the bolt holes are t...

New Engine, potentially new job
Posted On 06/03/2008 20:42:09 by mesarius
My engine finally came today after weeks of juggling finances, loads of phone calls, even the engine getting lost for a week.  There wasn't even too much damage to it considering the place I bought it from didn't even put it in a crate.  The wastegate actuator is trashed, exhaust guard is bashed, and a couple of connectors on the japanese wiring harness are smashed but the engine itself looks beautiful.  All the damage is easily fixed with all the parts I kept so that's no problem...

When Cars and Sex go together (update 27.4.2008)
Posted On 04/27/2008 19:33:38 by mesarius
Today when I was out working on the Talon I started hearing noises from the apartment building next to my house.  After a while longer i started hearing orgasmic screams and loads of moaning from said apartment building.  What has just happened was a mixing of the two greatest things in existence; cars and sex.  It was like listening to a porno while putting in wrenchtime, I really don't think they realized their windows were open.  Haha oh well, made the wrenching that much...
