Im drivin my green Forester with a nobama sticker haha hard to miss, the irony screams at people hahahah :headbang:

 

BUT!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!! i didnt hook up the air filter... it was getting to much air.. haha.. i got the harness in all the way just cleaning up the mess and making it look good, i think i got a dead battery or alternator though.. :headbang: getting close!!!!! moved it a little last night, going to make an airfilter addaptor like this, at school and print it out in PVC plastic, it should hot up pretty good, and free is good too!! :) haha

Had a little time today after class to try figure out the temp gage... No luck.. I read if you hook the ej temp gage wire to the ea temp gage wire pin 13 right? It'll just read half the normal amount on the ea gage..... It's reading full on above the red and beyond.... I even tryed with with the resistor... Nothing... Any one have any ideas?

OH yeah!! when i bought the car it came with a bi mart 84 battery, and it was still under warranty for another 3 years so they pro rated the battery and so i got a brand new one for 45$ instead of 80$ :headbang: and then talked them into giving me the warranty from today ON instead of for another 3 years!! :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

 

Now time to work out the oil pressure gauge!

Oh my sweet Jesus!...... Just took her for a spin just around the block... I've never felt that much power... The tires could hardly get any tracking because it just wanted to go! It's scary fast! Even with the large tires!

 

It wa fun untill the rear drum locked up agin... Looks like I need to find sole rear disks at the yard... :/

my dad has the rear brakes for the gl-10 minus the disk them selves that we could let go if you dont find anything at the boring you-pull-it, because it going to be a while before i can use them on my brat and one had the protecter bent in so my dad straightened it

 

Not bad! I think I've already found the set up my freind from calli has it :)
