1989 Telstar Hatch Resto/mod/build Thread.
PrinceValorum replied to GT_FE3's topic in Projects/Builds
Oh no, I'm so sorry. That really sucks, man. -

That's an awesome story! I know cars are just transportation or a financial burden to non enthusiasts, but I think it becomes what you want it to be. And for a lot of us they're practically a living memory machine. -

Nice progress man! That is a sweet shop, is that where you work? -
I seriously wish all forums used a CDN like we're lucky enough to have. Lots of other car forums are graveyards now, just a shell of what used to be useful. I have successfully used the Way Back Machine to sort of get around ****bucket's desperate EA-style grab for money, but sometimes the archived pages don't have all the pictures. As far as mounting it with the trans attached, I think that's what the side mounting option is designed for, but that's a heck of a lot of weight cantilevered out with the entire long block and trans hanging out there off a couple bolts on one side of the block...
-
Hey man, good to know you're still kicking. The V6 mounts with the trans bell housing bolts, or there's a way to do it on the side, too. I think I talked to Zepticon about it, there's a picture in the FSM, or something. You'd need an adapter plate if I remember correctly. Too true about removing things from your life that don't add value. I stopped going on Facebook years ago and I realized not only did I not miss it, but I was far happier without it. Edit: if you want, remind me in a few days and I'll take a picture of my KL on the stand for you to show you how it mounts. Out of state currently.

The 'official' Bs Thread.

Man, from the title I thought someone got you. Five bucks says they were on their phone. -
I did the MMO on my 626, something like 250 miles before the oil change. I couldn't believe the difference, it totally stopped the lifters from ticking. It actually came back shortly after I changed the oil. I didn't continue trying it, as I was dubious of what was in the MMO and what it was doing to different seals and such. Man, that turn signal issue sounds like a fun one... I can't even think what would cause that.

Are antique plates different than historical plates? I know in Ohio at least they don't seem to be enforced much. One guy I knew DD'd his BMW Bavaria for over a year with historical plates and no issue. I can't think if I remembered you getting a 3 or not. Another friend bought the same car at the same time, lol.
-
Is this still your current DD, or has it been sitting for a while?

Hmm, what's the sandwich adapter for?
-
Omg, can you even get traction??

Another awesome update! Have you tried POR-15? I just used it for the first time on the drum on a Warn winch I'm rebuilding, and I am impressed with the finish so far. Not sure how it holds up over time. It's a crazy number of steps, between sandblasting (not required, but I hate rust), degreasing, metal prep coating (zinc converter), the POR-15 itself, then the top coat for UV resistance. How do you like the Miata so far?
-
RPF1s are awesome, they just dent easily on the street. Hopefully the tracks you run don't have potholes! If it were me, I'd stick with the narrower tire. I would think it'd be challenging to get enough heat into 245s with the weight of your car, plus running a 215 or 225 on the 8" wheel will stiffen up the sidewall. Save weight, save cost.

I remember this was an issue on the later Proteges too, which very well may have received a later variant of that ZE intake manifold. I don't remember what the fix was, but I know some of my friends just gutted their butterfly assemblies. Very impressive numbers on the dyno. Dynojets are known to run a bit higher than others, but those are very solid numbers. IIRC a stock KLDE is around 140-145whp. I am surprised at the HP gain, especially since the FS in stock trim is a traditional undersquare setup with more tq than hp. That must be fun in that car.
