The second pic remids me of when a house gets a new pet, in this case a new kitty, and the rottweiler has to sit outside for the night as the kitty "adjusts".

I'm glad the deal has worked for all parties, and I know I'm gonna be mad jelly when this car is running 12s or faster.

PS... T-case is news to me hopefully it was not anything large.

No worries on the t-case, its mint still. I noticed the yoke was a little wet with a dribble of gear oil.

A new seal will take care of that when I do the clutch
I have a couple new seals and yokes already, so no big deal.

DSM's rule the garage now.

Well, I don't think it could have found a better home, and I still haven't found time to work on the 2g I picked up almost a year ago....so I probably shouldn't have bought this anyways...

All's well that ends well....

Are you guys joking? I tried to buy it at the full asking price and he would not sell it to me.. Guess my cash is no good! Lucky
Ziggy does not feel the same way cheap clutch and flywheel coming from him and Just got a disk and pp from Yasar Issa no troubles.

Ziggy, I'm also surprised that no one else bought this. I seen a few guys looking for good 1g DSM's, and I really think this is the best it gets for the price! I told Nigel yesterday I was willing to pay his original asking price for the car even after he posted $1000. Whoever didn't take this while they had the chance and low balled, too bad

Even the body is well worthy of a paint job if you didn't like the colour.

I guess it matters if you show up with the cash.

When I sell stuff, first to give me the cash takes it. Talk is cheap!

Peoples plans always change at the last minute, and since your all the way in PEI, no offence but I would have probably done the same...

yeah, all I could offer is my civic. With getting laid off. I had no chance to pick this up. I woulda been all over it. Very nice car makes me miss my burgandy talon with red interior.

=] I agree it went to a good home though. Maybe down the road if it goes for sale I can pick it up. =]

Guess I might as well offer up my opinions on a couple things:

I also didn't understand why Nigel didn't want to sell to someone who was not local. LOTS of guys have bought cars sight unseen and had them shipped, and John even mentioned he had bought other cars in Ontario, just made the road trip to pick them up. Anyways, Nigel is well within his rights to do as he pleases, just surprised me...

the other thing I disagree with is the "cash is king" philosophy. I grew up in a time when a man's word was his bond, and I still operate that way. If someone tells me "I might come look at it", well, I don't place a lot of value on that...but if someone tells me "I WILL DEFINITELY take it", I consider it sold. If someone backs out after that, well, next time I don't believe THAT particular person....but to distrust EVERYONE because the odd guy has backed out....that doesn't seem right to me..

Anyways, now you have "the opinion to which everyone is entitled".....

Carry on...

On a side note, power steering leak was a quick fix. Just threw on another pump with good seal, from the couple spares I had laying around. 15 minute fix and PS works like a charm now with no leaks.

Clutch and t-belt/ bshaft removal should be done by the weekend

I think this will be running like a charm in a few days

Slacker.... Why isn't it done yet?

I know.....

Actually I just got the lug nut key in the mail from Nigel. I can take the wheels off now and get to it.

There shure have been some interesting deals lately. After my car is up to snuff I will hopefully be saving for a winter beater
I am not looking foreward to another winter like the last one with no freedom!

Car is up and running like a champ!

Pulled b shafts, new t-belt & tensioner, installed ACT2100, new bottom end seals everywhere, new t-case seal, replaced a driveshaft carrier(the center one was gone), new tcase yoke(from the stock pile I have), new thermostat(existing one was stuck open causing the heating issue).

NO leaks at all, cranked the boost upto 16psi, adjusted base timing, pulls nice

Now it will get some winter tires.

Not bad for spending an extra $300 on the car

I will give you 4500...

Seriously though nice work gettin it done, im impressed you got the heat working well.

When I was burping the system after putting it back together, tell tale sign the thermostat was gone, was seeing the coolant flowing through the engine as soon as I started it while it was cold. The thermostat was already stuck open.

Oh and last, the knock sensor had all the goo melted out of it, replaced that with a good one laying around

Took it for a highway drive and runs nice and smooth

Reza, you are insane. Seriously.



















































Fuckin insane man................

this is so funny... FS post turned into a build post .. we need new pics of the car Reza

^^^
Indeed. So I've moved it to a more appropriate forum

I saw the car on Saturday night. I must say that I'm KINDA jeleous I didn't jump on it. I wish I took the time to take a look at it in person because for a 1G, it's in great shape.

Not only did Reza do all that work, but he did it on a car that had never had any of the drivetrain removed at any point. The transmission and transfer case had that '18 year old' metal on metal corrosion. Most of the parts replaced were factory originals still on from the assembly plant.

Lol sorry for dragging the original FS post.

Not much pics to post. The car still looks the same just drives well and is more reliable now

Maybe I'll get some pics up of the dash board once it bonds

Yes tru, none of the drivetrain parts were ever removed, original clutch and everything.

I have to say it was a pain in the ass getting the transfer case off. I had to remove the tranny end case and undo the viscous clip. Still the t case would not come right out of the tranny with the output shaft attched as the oil pan was in the way.

Got it over enough to grab the shaft with a vice grip as close as possible to the t-case. Pry bar and a hammer worked it loose from there. Other than that I spent a good time cleaning the front case, rear cover, and other little parts from all the grime build up over the years.

I already got these little 450's maxed out at 15ish psi. Time for some more fuel.

Good to know the car is in progress. Id like to see it one of this days man .
