project GT2 - "courtney", like no other.

thanks, its always nice to have my work appreciated...

 

well i thought its time to do an update on old court. the other night i finally got the ambition to wire up my dist. and my water outlet. the gasket for the water outlet that i got from toyota was the wrong size. so out with the gasket paper it was to make my own. little did i know, that while i was making this gasket it had started to rain out. im just like "well fucked if this will stop me, i may never get this ambition again.." so i got some zip ties, a tarp, and a 2x4 and made a little engine shelter... only my head was covered by it... so the rest of me got just soaked, and let me tell you. at like +1 with the wind blowing, rain seems so much colder.. so after a few hours, i got the bitch set to no.1 compression, got the dist lined, and bolted up. i also soldered the connecters for it. and got my water outlet all bolted up. i took my trusty e-tape and some loom, and cleaned up the wiring a little bit, its not done, i still need to tie it up a bit to finish it off... lol heres some pics

a rough cut of my homemade gasket

things all wired up


a few pics of my girl X-D, do you think she looks happy?

 

really? well i did want to make this car stand out. all i need to make it run, is . .
- a spool of 10g wire, for the remanding relocating of my fuse blocks.
- about 20' of 2 under welding cable for my battery/starting wire..
- some tube to rig up my fuel system just for firing her.

i think that so far my tuck harness job is coming along very nicly. i can actually sit on my trans, and work on the car??? i can climb in the engine bay... its like a freaking old truck or something... sooo much room. but im poorer than mc hammer doing a dance.. lol so it may be a little while yet. . it is driving me nuts to, i just want to make it scream, just once. even if its only for 5 or 10 minutes. . i dont care if i run the bitch on either. i just want to hear her run....help give me some much needed hope, and the ambition to implement a couple more surpises i have in store for this car. . .

 

and just to back that up a little bit. . .

 

well heres an update/ rant... i had a fight with court tonight.... oh my we had it out...i finally got the ambition on this -24 night... to go put my water piping in, the pipes that come out of the water pump, and go into the turbo, oil cooler, block ect. . so i try for about 10 minutes to fit it under the turbo, no fucking way. . so i fight to get off the actuator... once thats off, no she still wont fit, i look at the sky and wisper in defeat.. "turbo's got to come off" now this is no hard task, but i dont want to take it off at the head, i just put a new mani gasket in it, and i didnt feel like blowing another 30 bucks just for some bitch of a water pipe. so i decide to take just the turbo off... leave the mani attached. i fought with that bitch for the better part of a half hour trying to get a rachet, wrench, anything in there.. so i have to unbolt all the oil lines, and i get the turbo in the house, i say "its time i clean this bitch up, so i killed an hour cleaning my turbo, i took my trusty dremel and removed some of the shit casting ridges on the turbo to mani flange. came out quite nice, and since i pulled the turbo, i decompressed all the oil and water line gaskets, so i kill another ahour making new water and oil line gaskets. i finally get it all cleaned up, i go out, get the water lines on, and bring my bitching clean turbo back to bolt her back up. i am fighting to get the damn oil return line back on, i get one nut on, and almost the other one, when i loose the bitch in the damn snow. i think i screamed fuck as loud as i could, and @ 3 in the morning, it seems so loud too. so i said fuck it, im going in. 4 hours in the cold is enough, so i go looking for the missing nut in the morning.... but for now, enjoy pics of the nght...

well merry christmas to all, i unfortunaty got the joy of spending the holiday alone, so i thought i would make the most of it and do some work to the car. so i dawned my trusty gear, shoveled out court, and proceeded to re-wire diagnostics. i decided to move it under the wiper motor on the pass side. so after about an hour and a half of freezing my canadian ass off, i had it moved. so heres a few pics of my work today.

 

its about -12 right now. . and thanks alot man, its been a rough day. best wishes to you as well

 

its not that i couldnt get home for xmas, there wasnt really a place to go to... so yeah

 

yeah, thats the way i look at it. i think im really going to poor myself into the car in the coming months. and i have a few surprises for everyone. just think nascar lol. . that should keep everyone guessing lol...

 

ask and you shal recieve, i swear sometimes people asking for update is the only thing to get me off my ass to work on the old car. so i found a replacement nut for the one i had lost on the turbo oil return line, and after a bit of yelling i got the bitch on, with my new home made gasket that was shown in an earlier pic. so i decided it was time to get some oil to the top end of the engine and through the turbo, since i cleaned it all out. so i very, and i mean very ghetto-ly rigged up a starting system, its not the best idea, but when you car is in the shape mine is, in a pinch it works... heres some pics and a vid, (WOOOO. . .) the vid kinda stops cause my camera died lol so enjoy lmao.....
