Got the hood latch and cable in today, got a like new dash pad. I forgot to take a picture of that. Got the old crusty trans cooler lines out and new to me less crusty lines in, filled her up with trans fluid, changed the oil and fired her up, checked for leaks, filled the fluid to the hot line and pulled her out of the garage under her own power. Now I have to title it and take it for a ride and see if its got all the gears. It is idling higher than I would like and it definatly needs a tune up and a cat back exhaust but she runs and moves under her own power. I am a happy man :)

Took out the IAC and cleaned it tonight. Might have a vac leak but not sure. Didn't want to run for prolonged amount of time looking for it with it being close to 10PM and all

nice mike, teddy told me you got this, good luck with it. i also have some proformance tbi parts ill pm you my info.

PM replied Dave. and thanks for the good luck

Got a lot done today and more is on the plan for tomorrow. Here is what I got done today.

New Plugs, Wires, Cap and Rotor. I swapped in a new distributor because I believed my idling and running issues were attributed to a bad pick-up coil and a failing ICM. Set timing to spec. She is running great right now so I believe I have my running issues ironed out. Also got the hood back on and lined up the right way. Tomorrow she is going to get a cooling system re vamp to include a radiator, hoses, water pump, thermostat and a new resivior tank. Then I will be ready to title it and take her for a ride, then the only things left for me to do is wheels, headliner, exhaust system, because there isn't one at the moment, and a stereo of some sort. So far she is coming along very well and I am happy with the progress at this point.

very nice man! sounds like ur guna have a nice camaro to enjoy this summer

well today didn't go so smooth. I won't go into my dumb ass mistake that is going to cost me a little money but 2 of the 4 water pump pulley bolts would not come out. I used the impact to get 2 out but the other 2 the socket slipped on and stripped the heads. so I swapped the water pump but basically stopped there because there is no sense on going further if the pump doesn't have a pulley

got everything buttoned up tonight but had no coolant so i will check for leaks after I pick up some coolant. Ordered the OBX racing cat back. figured I would give it a shot since they make the exhaust that I have on my legacy and the quaility is really nice and i am happy with it so i figured i would give it a shot.

got coolant in it and no leaks, bu the CTS is no good, no biggie its a cheap fix. Also scored a new gear shift knob on ebay and I am going to take a chance with the OBX-R cat back exhaust. I have the exhaust OBX makes for my legacy to the quaility should be the same and I am happy that one is holding up as well as it is. If I don't like how its sounds I can always swap the muffler.

Other than that no other updates for now

CTS? check something solenoid?

Coolant temperature sensor. Maybe you'd know it if it was on a jet ski? :mrgreen:

what he said

CTS replaced, running really good. still have a SES light but could be for EVAP? since I have that vac line blocked still. maybe ill get that line tomorrow morning

Bad news is trans doesn't have third and fourth upon my test drive. first and second are great but no third and fourth so time to find another 700R4. really not in the mood to swap out a trans at the moment

Nice wheels. I would have sold you mine except that I have nothing else to put on the car. Are you planning to rebuild the 700R4 or swap?

I will be swapping it out. Will likely have it swapped because my shoulders have absolutely been killing me the whole time I have been working on it and I need to rest my shoulders a little. I have the ability and the tools but im not into being in that much pain right now

if u want the trans swapped i got a guy that will do it cheaply let me know.. probably only run u like 200 ish? plus supplys ... hes building my car..

got it covered. thanks for the offer kris. next updates will be the trans in and exhaust on. which I will have to open the OBX box and take some pics for you guys

Change of plans. I found something I absolutely have to have. Will be using this car as a partial trade. Pics will come in a seperate thread when the deal is done
