Took my first drive with the RMB. Sounds wicked.

Finally sprayed the primer on the body. Hatch, bumper covers, doors, etc. have been done for a while. Will start wet sanding the doors next week.

Installed the engine in the chassis. Now to bolt to the bell housing and complete the hookups. Installing the Delrin steering rack bushings WIAAT. I crushed my hall sensor during the install so I have to replace it. I tried to install the engine three different ways 1. with engine mounts, and clutch. 2. with clutch, and 3. w/o mounts and clutch -success. Three times a charm. That is an extremely tight squeeze.
First time chassis has seen an engine in three years! Can't wait to turn the key.

There were a lot of firsts today,

1. Got to meet a new 928 owner in the NoVa area.
2. Learned that I need a new temp sensor.
3. I got a reminder that old plastic is gonna break.
4. Learned that Venetian blue is different than Dove Blue.
5. I failed to take pics of my car against a Venetian Blue 88.

I will let you borrow my vibrator any time.

BTW this is the exact RMB that I have. A problem could be the resonators, 88's and 89's are slightly different. I would have to go back and look.



Beautiful car Jon!

Michael
Hope to see ya soon..

Started getting ready for the Silver State Classic ORR in September.

Replaced the fuel injectors, installed the secondary fuel return line, and installed the lines for the water/meth injection.

Drove her down to LA to see Greg tomorrow

I've never driven for 6 hours without stopping. It was as comfortable as third-world roads can be ..

Small thing.
Installed Jerry's Cowl Cover.
Quality product.
Fits like a glove.

Yesterday, the wife and I got to put some miles on it FINALLY and today....I learned how to post pics on RL (small victories!)

Timing belt tension check time. I periodically do this (at least twice a driving season), and do it especially before long journeys. Have a 700 - 800 mile journey one way for son's summer hockey. Don't want to be away with light going off. Good thing I checked I think. I was just at the window, and last time I checked I was mid window. Made adjustment accordingly. I did note the locking nut did not have as much tension as I expected on it.

Yesterday:
1.Removed the HVAC blower motor
2.Removed all the under dash stuff on the passenger side, including fuse panel.
3. Took pics of a bunch of introduced wires (some connected, some cut, some with connectors unconnected....lots of PO "archeology" yesterday. I don't know what any of it was for...other than alarms or stereo.

Today and tomorrow:
1. Install new motor (from Roger) in the blower housing.
2. Vacuum out the area where the blower lives.
3. Remove the blower resistor pack and bend the coils up a bit and see if the "magic blower" syndrome goes away (worth a try).
4. Remove the recirculation air handler, clean it up, and replace the vacuum actuator (from Roger). Put it all back in (just picked up the 3M sealing ribbon Stan recommended).
5. Install the blower in the car
6. Install the special wiring harness for motor, also from Roger (will use solder where recommended)

Thanks to otr18wheeler...I fixed my drivers side window. We took apart the switch, cleaned the contacts and reinstalled... like magic it now works!

Finished rebuilding the calipers and took it for its first drive in over 5 years

Yesterday was almost a wash, as I ended up spending a lot of time cleaning out a tangle of abandoned wires. Today was very productive:

1. Took the HVAC blower apart and installed the new motor, following Rob Edward's pictorial guide her on Rennlist. Was easier than expected.

2. I didn't have much cleaning to do in the area where the blower sits. Amazingly clean after 26 years. So I turned my attention to the evaporator and cleaned that really well with a toothbrush and a shop towel at the end of a long pair of needle-nose pliers (think surgical clamp). Vacuumed the space out.

3. I've had some "magic blower syndrome" so I took out the fan resistor pack and raised the coils about 2 mm above the bimetallic strip. I did it without removing the protective "cage" using a thin 3-inch nail, and a small pick hook (like a dental tool). Hoping this lasts at least a year. We'll see.

4. Pushed and then pulled the blower air box out - tomorrow I will replace the recirculation flap vacuum actuator and start putting it all back together.

I feel like I've been caving and crawling through tight spaces all day. It was an interesting journey...especially seeing the back side of the fuse and relay panel. Blows my mind looking at all that spaghetti.

Well I finished this little job , complicated by accidentally detaching the AAV hose near the throttle body (down deep) , which required intake runner removal (nearly lost a thick spacer into the intake ; luckily the valve was shut and I spotted it on the head before it rolled in). Reinstalling the starter and alternator was not exactly a piece of cake on my own without a hoist in mid winter, but all's well that ends well and Bruce is back to his angry loud best!

Cost? Wires+connectors+solder = $125 Labour = blood+sweat+tears , so what's new?



Will it fry or fly?

Fired her up for the first time since the baby was born. New leads, TB, WP, PKENSIONER black, GB fuel lines, MAF rebuild. All parts courtesy of 928SRUS. She so smooth
