not much more done today. I didnt get to do the emanage either =/

Polished the headlights and fogs.. They look crisp and NEW! We actually did this like a day ago when todd was over.

Vacuumed and cleaned up the interior, wiped down everything from head to toe.

Vacuumed all the broken glass out of the driver door side.

Installed the HID's. Just waiting on some wire loom to clean it up and hide all the wires.

Re-installed the radio and my repaired climate control. I swapped the face off my 96 with the 93 internals. Worked perfectly.

Wiped down both door panels and repaired the small cracks.

Knocked the studs out of the old wheel hubs.

Tomorrows agenda:

- Install E-Manage
- TRY to install the studs
- Reinstall carpet
- Finish running wiring for accessories

Ok, I got the interior back in. I fixed the broken studs on the rear. Bolted my seat back in and the seatbelt.

I decided to take the car around the block a few times. I haven't done the insurance or registration yet =P

So while driving the car shifts into second but after that it wont go into 3rd. The RPMS stay @ 2k

After letting off I go again, at this point the OD light starts blinking, I didn't count all the blinks but I know there was at least 10+

Anywho, i hit the gas again and the car doesnt go above 2k and it stays in first gear.

I was reading around and apparently this is the tranny solenoid.

Once I get them from gazi, I'll put them in and we should be good to go! I'm hoping I get to flush the coolant this week and get some toyo red in there.

Things that NEED to get done:

- Flush coolant
- Install front wheels + new lugs and wheels locks
- Install window
- Install new leather
- Install tranny solenoids
- Install springs
- Install alarm
- Insure car
- Register car
- Inspect car

Hmmm... Ill get back to you on that one. lol.

Sorry no pics for this update =/ Maybe tomorrow!!!

Got a few things done today... Finally got a chance to put the driver side window in so no more garbage bag over the window. The car is actually looking like a car! I'm hoping to get the springs done this week.

I got a set of 96's tails from travis that he wasn't using. The lens on the driver side has a small crack and the pass side is leaking. I decided to throw them on for now till gazi gets me a set of 97's.

Spent the rest of the day giving noels SC a much needed tune up. Valve cover gaskets, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, cleaned up the TB and manifold and threw in a new air filter.

We also deleted the EGR on his. It didnt take us too long to do all the work since I had already done it on my car. Its easy as hell to do the work now.

Thanks carlos

Well I got a little work done today. It was cold and I was tired as hell.

I actually enjoy sitting in the car now that its clean. My new leathers are on order. Dark Gray, perforated. Still looking around for a nice steering wheel/airbag combo.



Installed silver emblems and 96 tails



Installed the ED SQ10 Sub. It sounds GREAT! No the sub isn't glued down. lol it looks like it though.
