monstaru Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 so, as many of you know. i traded Lilly off to a kid just up north here for a lego wagon with a wrx swap in it. the truth of the matter is, the kid probably thought he was taking me .......and i hope that he calls me, like i told him to so that he can get the remainder of the parts i have for his new sweetheart.(and she was too,a ************in sweetheart)... its been more than two weeks since i told him that, so ....whatever. the lego had huge leakage issues , so she was wet inside. almost to the point of having ruined front seats.when i picked her up ,i thought, ok the kid left something wet in here....and he has not driven it for a while ...so......when i was wiping out the inside windows , in almost freezing weather....i was still telling myself that the car itself did not really matter,it was th engine i was after anyway. i had planned on getting this car and using it as a daily driver.but seeing as how i was going to have to fix the codes to get emissions testing done, which is required to swap the title over to my name.......i decided that it may not work out that way.so i started gathering parts, and have a whole bunch now......have figured out that this car has had about 5 or 6 different owners.and that each owner has done some "improvements" to her, to make her a daily driver..... well needless to say, none of the improvements were that......but more of a degradation . enough of my ***************ing.....parts i have gathered so far are an entire 02 wiring harness, so that i can wire it in proper. all original intake and such , so that i can get her back to stock and build from there. some odds and ends for the interior such as door panels, etc(actually, i have yet to pay for the door panels,but have them deep in my sites from a reliable source) i have ripped out all of the nasty carpet,sealed up the windshield(as that is where the water was coming from) and made a mount for the rear wrx seat to fit. bought a wrx fuel tank, becaus eit will mount up, just have to reroute the filler tube.... have also sourced a way to route power steering,just have to flange some pipe to make it work.... so, where do we stand.well, i will be tearing out the entire cars wiring harness to install the wrx harness.so, in full prep mode i went to town identifying the plugs on the harness today.got about 3/4 of the way done. at the same time i am removing the airbag systems. it has a good exhaust on it.i need suspension for it and will be getting some tires for the 17's that i have for her. ummmm....well, i guess you could call this a build.i just want a track car daily driver.so, here we go!enjoy, i will have more pics of what i have done in the next couple days ...cheers, brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik litchy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 wait so you have to make sure it has no codes for a title transfer? how strange. but you can remove the airbag with no problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 it has to pass emissions to transfer title(which means no codes).......to the new owner.so, i rendered it inoperable to get a waiver. and i did not remove the airbag,it was blown in that steering wheel when the previous owner got it.hence the new steering wheel.... our testing over here is all about actual emissions.there are no safety inspections. cheers, brian wait so you have to make sure it has no codes for a title transfer? how strange. but you can remove the airbag with no problems?
