I don't get why people are always bragging about stealing small things from pick n pull like it's not still stealing

Whenever I show the little poo poo they just wave a hand and don't charge me for it anyway. :shrug:

Guess YMMV though at different places. I can't say I've never pocketed stuff but I don't really bother anymore.

What you do is pour in some fluid and then pray that the grinding sound stops after a few seconds.

Pretty much. Disable fuel and crank it over a bit then turn lock to lock a few times and top it off. Then start it for real and do the same.

There we go. A cable driven speed sensor for a K8 manual transmission.

That's pretty awesome work. Most folks definitely don't have that attention to detail (or the means/skills) to pull that off.

While I was reading that post all I could think of is "megasquirt." :v:

Early fuel injected stuff is pretty easy to do in MS.

I'd really like opinions on what the multiplier table could be used for. It's the one thing I have no clue about.

Can you get any translation of what it says? Translating the axis of the tables would help significantly.

This is really bizarre, I had no clue there were so many different ECUs for basically the same car/engine, like who was doing the tuning/code for each individual ECU?

This is fairly normal. There's different requirements for different regions of the world regulation wise, differing fuel qualities, octane, etc. When I did it, I got lucky and only had to release for 3 regions and the changes were fairly minor. But there's still a billion factors that drive up proliferation like transmission and other engine features.

It's never as easy as it looks. :shepface:

haha holy poo poo I hope you have solid engine/trans mounts so it isn't able to move at all.

Thanks guys.

Not sure yet. I haven't figured out why the factory air pickup tube was in the fender. I don't see a lot of air ducting for it, I might have to think up something for that.

Because it's cooler than the engine bay.

Can you just convert the values from hex to see what they are so you can confirm your hypothesis about the RPM and such?

e: actually looked at the values and no, that would be too simple.

It can only be forced induction. :piss:

Only makes sense if you lower the gear ratios to add more power to compensate. :getin:

Anybody who does a motor swap and pays to details like a/c and making everything work like it were an oem vehicle is awesome in my book.

Yes, but I'd probably do exactly what you've already suggested - spare goes on the rear, rotate good rear in place of flat front if that's where your flat tire is. Also consider how rarely you actually use your spare on this car.

Putting the spare on the rear is SOP in the event one of the fronts goes on pretty much any car. You never want a tiny donut doing the steering, majority of braking and also being one of the powered wheels with that little contact patch. So yeah I wouldn't GAF especially since it's going to be used only for short distances anyway.

I was very confused and thought you painted over the brake light lens. Had to google to figure out that it's mounted externally on the hatch where that big hole is below the glass instead of inside like most cars. Neat.

Can't wait to see it all reassembled, looks like great work as usual.

I forgot, current parts MX-3 status:

(I've made my money back 2x selling the body parts off this thing.)

You'd be a fun neighbor to have. Mostly just to pop in with beer and watch you work, lol.

Car looks amazing. Mock up a stock looking airbox and I don't think anybody would be the wiser that there was anything going on under there.

drat that looks like it's coming together really nicely. I love how many bajillion outlets there are. Too much light seems like the right amount, too.
