Nutmeg's Swap and Progress *New Pictures 7/5/09*

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Tue May 27, 2008 12:27 am

Thanks Yellowpatrol

I'm actually doing the whole swap in conjunction with a Senior Culminating Project that has to do with the stereotyping of auto mechanics and the like. The swap is my application project, and partly the reason my parents agreed to let me do it. So, I'll be taking pictures of EVERYTHING. And I mean that, because I need them for my project, so if you ever want to see a picture of something, let me know.

You should do a video tutorial for how to swap it! Guaranteed A+.

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Tue May 27, 2008 8:21 pm

Well it's kind of late to do a video. I did think about it though.

I can't believe I've overlooked this thread.... Looks like a big undertaking but it seems as you have it somewhat under control.

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Wed May 28, 2008 8:33 pm

YOU OVERLOOKED MY THREAD??? HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!

Haha, just joking. Thanks for looking.

Some new pictures. All I did today was swap the shifter/remove shift cables, remove coolant bottle, and take off the accelerator pedal. Couldn't do anything major, so I just went to kill time and do small things. Anyway, here we go:

Random parts everywhere:

Here's a sweet picture. I would like to have that thing on the left in my car.

That crate won't fit, bud.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Sat May 31, 2008 11:59 pm

oh sure it will... just run all that wood and metal through a trash compactor and you'll be good to go

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Sun Jun 01, 2008 3:27 am

^ That's what the plan is.

^^ I'm with the both of them. Come on don't leave us hanging.....

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Wed Jun 04, 2008 12:33 am

It's gonna be a week or two. I got broken axles from a member on here, so I'm getting new ones which are shipping out tomorrow, as well as the power steering lines and cooler.

Oh, Maddog 80% STS was ordered yesterday. Oh, and the fuel pump got here today as well. That's all for now.

King Crab · Post by **King Crab** » Wed Jun 04, 2008 11:58 am

Wooooooooo, You're going to LOVE the Maddog STS, trust me. It's a thing of beauty.

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Wed Jun 04, 2008 12:02 pm

Yeah, kc2002acr has an 80% redux shifter and it's ridiculous.

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Wed Jun 04, 2008 7:52 pm

I hope so!

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:28 am

yeah its so much better then stock i love my 80%

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 12:27 am

IT'S IN! But not complete. Here is the weekend in pictures:

Didn't run into too many big problems. We had to swap o-rings from the clutch slave cylinders to make it work. Hooking up the exhaust was a pain too. The piping is a headache, but it's nearly done.

What we have left to do:
-Fuel pump/ FPR
-Complete hooking up A/C
-Find a new fitting for the fuel line to fuel rail so it fits
-Connect all vacuum lines
-Install intake
-Put the battery in
-Turn the key

you forgot the big chunk of wood...

Nutmeg · Post by **Nutmeg** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 12:32 am

Well yeah. I thought it would be easier to fit it in without that. At least I'll shave a few pounds.

oh man this makes me want 5000 bucks so i can do this...

ZeroChad · Post by **ZeroChad** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 1:31 am

Dang man, you have to be pretty excited right now, you're so close to being done! Hopefully it all works out without any hangups *knocks on wood*.

Are you going to need to modify your bumper to fit the intercooler?
