    Progress Thread Time For A Revival Of My '91 Gt

    Well, it lives and breathes! Friggin' awesome. Tires tomorrow, new set of brake lines Friday. I am betting I could get it on the road next week! Here is a quick roundabout exterior video of how it sounds now. I only had to tune the TPS (was at 1.3VDC) and adjust the idle set screw to get it to...

    Another small improvement over the past day or so. Put the cleaned up intake back on and plumbed it all up. I just need to make sure all the vacuum lines are hooked in and the TPS is set right and hopefully she'll run without any input from my right foot this time! Tires will be here tomorrow...

    It was pretty easy actually. I just borrowed my friends wire wheel, wore down the crusty aluminum and chipping paint, taped the whole thing up with painters tape. Cut the lines with a razor blade and peeled those sections of tape off. Lastly apply a few coats of whatever color paint you want...

    Weather this weekend was super nice, a little chilly but manageable so I got to tinkering some more. I didn't have time to get any stuff I needed to get crackin' on the vacuum lines but I scoped it out. Looks like the only thing that wasn't hooked in or in this case is just broken is what I...

    Sn95 Rail Mount Fp Gauge Face Palm

    I do a lot of work with pressure gauges (I work with natural gas) and I've never seen one with a 'range' for 0. That is odd even for a 100 psi max gauge. All gauges I work with have a bottomed out 0 and the first 10-20 psi (or so depending on the max range) is short but nothing like that. I...

    Also, oh hell yea it is. I remember when this was my only car and the clutch disintegrated on my drive home from work once. It was my first time rpm match shifting so I could get home and I was up until wee hours of the morning after scavenging a clutch kit from a friend. But those were the...

    Hah, I didn't have the cat-back hooked up for that video. As for what is hooked up I have BBK shorty headers and a catless H-Pipe. As for progress yesterday, I didn't get much done. I only reinstalled the radiator shroud and fan. Weather looks like thunderstorms all week so not much will get...

    Hah, in that video I still have the cat-back removed. As for what was attached it is just BBK short headers and catless h-pipe. Yesterday I didn't get much done. I only bolted the fan and shroud back in. I took pictures but we've all seen those factory components. It is supposed to be...

    Update: I finally got the transmission, driveshaft and exhaust all back in. The exhaust isn't very neat but I have a feeling I am going to replace it when I get the car nearer to road ready. I got a new belt for it as well as a new negative battery cable, which managed to lose it's connector...

    Weather turned out to be manageable last night. It was windy as all hell but no rain and a dry ground so I got back to it. I put that damn starter in, hooked up the battery and gave it a test crank. Sounded better than it had in a long time. Here is the nice flush mounted starter, what a relief...

    Alrighty then. I received the new dust cover yesterday while at work. I was antsy as hell to get home to put it all back together. Here is the new vs old picture of said dust cover as well as a solo shot to show how bent out of shape the old one is. I got as far as beginning to install the...

    Yea, I have been itching to do it each summer since I got my job but I just didn't have the time and means to tow it 6 hours. I am just glad to have it close to home again and the ability to work on it at will. As for plans, right off is troubleshoot the starter issue, redo the vacuum lines and...

    Not much of an update as it was rainy/snowy yesterday but you want pics? I'll give you some pics! Just for relative overall condition of the car. Exterior: Needs a bit of work, a few scrapes and even after a good wash a couple weeks ago it is still very dirty. Interior: I laugh about it, I...

    Hey everyone, long time since I have been on here. Very long. I still have my 1991 GT hatch and it is time to bring her back to life! I am very excited. Long story short, while I still frequented this forum, I managed to snap my crankshaft. I rebuilt the motor that winter and was able to run it...

    First time starting in over a year...

    Hopefully this weekend, just need to drop the motor in, its all together and ready to roll. Wish I had the money to put some better stuff in, maybe next year... but stock parts it is. Needless to say, I am fairly excited, haven't driven or ran the thing since last halloween when I blew the...

    Rebuilding lower end, Rod bearings etc.

    Just want to verify what my researching has found for me as far as clearances. I have the plastigauges and am ready to roll. clearances of .002 - .003 for rod bearings and .0025-.003 for mains?

    Rebuilding lower end, Rod bearings etc.

    Update So I feel like a scrub having said I spun a bearing a month or so ago... cause apparently my crank snapped after the 1/5 journal. And as always plans never go... as planned, just got the motor apart 2 weeks ago, and ordered the parts I'll need yesterday. Fortunately for me my cousin had...

    Rebuilding lower end, Rod bearings etc.

    My hint was the massively loud clattering lower end. Which after removing the heads you can watch the number 2 piston not move for about a 10 degree turn of the crank pulley. :shrug:

    Rebuilding lower end, Rod bearings etc.

    Hey all, figured I'd ask for some advice for re-doing rod bearings as I spun one last fall in my '91 GT and have just found the time to start working on the poor car. The idea seems simple enough, I just would rather only do this once and be on my way. Other than the normal torque specs and...

    Anyone know where to find... adjustment plates

    Hey guys, long time. I just got new headlights for the car and when i took the original ones out, the adjustment plate behind the stocker was broken, and was jimmy rigged with an extra nut and washer, i was wondering if anyone knows where i could find them sold separately from the headlights...
