Well I suppose I should start one of these as I fix and modify things. So far she sat from 2006 until 2021 unmoving under her own power. July of 2020 I pulled her out and pressure washed off the mildew that had formed and put her in the shop to start work. Had to restore the fuel system, install Exhaust Manifold and Turbo kit, remaining chassis cross member bolts, build Exhaust system, restore gauge cluster (Tach Capacitors), install Intercooler (Front Mount) and build plumbing for it, make battery mount for Odyssey PC1200T battery in near factory location (trimmed part of battery tray that extended past frame rail into engine bay for more room to route intercooler piping), repair wiring in cabin for power windows, moonroof, and power door locks. Repair all radio wiring to Alpine amp. Upgrade wiring to Fuel pump to 10gauge dedicated wire (melted EFI fuse once...). Installed Rota Grid 17x8 +35 on all 4 corners with 30mm rear spacers. Got her tagged and legal to drive March 29th and haven't gone a day without using her daily since. 3rd gen engine has drop in 1 at a time head studs (didn't remove head), cams, KO Racing Street Brawler with Precision 5130 turbo. 1200cc injectors, Link G4x ECU inside factory case (Plugs in to factory connectors too). Tuned up on pump gas so far at 327 awhp on 18psi. Has an ACT 6 puck unsprung clutch. Installed an ATOTO A6 double din stereo head unit. LED Headlights.
Still to do presently:
* Fix AC System (doesn't hold charge and when at pressure kicks on/off faster than it should and doesn't blow cold)
* DONE - Power Steering pump change (have new on hand, current one squealing lots, espeically at low rpm)
* Install new Shocks on all 4 corners (have parts to convert rear to rebuildable)
* New brakes on all 4 corners (still riding 15 year old brakes...)
* Connect wiring up for Horn (was on a rocker switch in console and not in steering wheel...?)
* Replace/repair intermittent windshield wipers (have new stalk/cluster to hopefully remedy this)
* Fix/replace some of the sketchy audio components (some line adapters from high level to pre-amp outputs)
* Install CAN bus gauge (remove non-functioning autometer wideband gauge)
* Repair/replace low fuel level sensor thermistor pot (tried a generic thermistor but it turns on all the time regardless of fuel level)
* Fix high beam headlights (think probably switch, just goes dim when you switch to them, new stalk assembly has headlight switch too)
* Fix rear window washer line/plumbing. Doesn't squirt over rear, probably a clog near resevoir, just need to get to it sometime.
* DONE Replace Clutch Line with braided steel line and adapters (On hand, present fitting at firewall leaks from corrosion)
* Reinforce/replace rear diff mount (has 1 sheared off bolt presently as well)
That covers most of it I think. I'll try to post any fixes I do here from now on! Thanks!
