i bought 4 different size belts jsut so i can try them all and now i have to return them all haha its getting to the point where its really getting me mad that im this stupid, if anyone one wants to come over and take a look i would appreciate it… i really dont understand why even a belt thats barley smaller than the one I have isnt even going over both pulleys, maybe mine is measured in inside diameter and all the new ones are measured in outside diameter? ---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ---------- > [@AndyB](#): > > even with the adjuster bracket on the back you couldnt make the 30 fit? nope i even took the bolt right out of the top of the bracket so the alternator would side forward even more ---

well, after being pissed all day, i just got back from my girlfriends house and i forced that F\*\*\*ing thing on…im surprised it went on but i forced it on…it wont be coming off unless i cut it after i got it over the two pulleys it was really tight so i stuck my pry bar in there to make sure it was tight and it hardly moved a quater of an inch…but everything is tight and on there so start up to come this friday once i go over all of my wiring and shit to make sure everything is good to go ---

All of the fuel lines are done. I ran the fuel pump a couple times and there are no visible leaks so far. I got my radiator hoses and those are on. What I have Left To do before Registration of the vehicle :tup: : 1. well since rywire messed up i now have to cut the injector plugs off and solder the ones that were on the stock harness on 🖕 i knew that there wasnt going to be something 100% about the harness i ordered, i would send it back but i dont have the time 2. Buy a hose to loop my two coolant lines that used to go to the heater core 3. Fill Coolant 4. Make a Transmission ground 5.Check over everything once more Then Start It If all goes well i will problably have it running friday afternoon Im waiting for a shiftlinkage i ordered from swerve. I will problably have to adjust the cable a little bit for the clutch once i get it rolling. And i have to make a bracket for my throttle cable, or i may just buy a DA integra one (I think thats the one that i need to make the stock bracket work?) ---

thanks guys, yeah it did start right up…i was happy that i did all of the wiring correct im gona start piecing the interior back together and by the time I get the linkage in i will hopefully be able to drive it…i still need to file down the edge of one of my axles because whoever took the axles out of the car in japan beat the fuck out of it to get it out of the hub. i couldnt even start the bolt on it so it shouldnt take too long. ---

Mad impressed with how it turned out!!! when you started talking about what you wanted to do with it last summer i was a bit skeptical with the different engine bay color but holy shit it looks sexy lol . By the way it kinda sounds like a subaru not like thats bad or anything i just dont think we expected that when we fired it up ---

um yeahhhh…it sounds like a subaru because the motor that they sent me is fucked, I had andy from swerve come over and we started pulling plugs on the engine to find out which cylinder could not be firing correctly. When we pulled cylinder 3’s plug the motor ran the same Soooo something is wrong with cylinder 3…maybe a bent valve idk, my warranty is up on the motor tomorrow haha so I wrote to toronto jdm and they better help me out ---

A misfire on a cylinder can be caused by no spark and no fuel too.
