Random yank

[Wischmaster]

For some reason I felt compelled to post pictures of when we yanked my motor most recently.





The heartless frame....




The almighty D16z6... *sarcastic* It get's me by.




Ah, victory! I'm not shown, due to the fact that I was taking the picture.


Well, if you can notice that in the second picture, I'm missing my radiator support... that was torn to shambles due to a towing incident. $2,200 in damage.
Oh well. =)

lol, yeah. Good ol' "Not responsible for any damage." Ain't that some shit?
White trash Dewey's Towing.

Anyway, the motor is back in. We coated the bay to a flat-black but we had to yank it because well, the car died. We figured it out it was the alternator, but now as some have read me posts... it has a wierd idle. We replaced the TPS and such... but it still has a 1k-2.5k jump. And when it is in gear: for instance going 25 in third gear and the RPM's fall into that 1k-2k range... the car accelerates by itself. lol

I was thinking about just having Honda look at it. =\

Oh yeah, forgot. Was thinking of just saving for a B16a2 or something and pop that in. Not like swapping is hard, just coming up with the cash.

But then I would have to get rid of the Z6... most likely just gonna pop it on E-bay or something.

Btw, a thought entered my mind. Wouldn't you want close gear-ratio's if you are racing? Because the dude who owned the hatch before me swapped the CX tranny into it... making it a slow shift. I mean... 125 in 3rd gear? I'd think you would want shorter than that.
