Current ToDo List:

Engine/DME related:

• Figure out what line that looks like large vacuum line/plastic piece/small vacuum line, thats right by the oil fill tube, if for and if it can be plugged (will post a photo tomorrow if no answer by then)
• see what that one loose gray wire is
• insulate (+) wires from rear fuse box (but mark - may be useful in the future)
• Tap tachometer wire for G2X installation
• Replace oil breather hose, connecting piece (currently borrowed)

Still to do to get the car actually able to move under it's own power:

• Adjust clutch cable
• Attach axles
• Tighten axle bolts as tight as I can, pending a giant torque wrench
• Replace axle bolts (borrowed)
• Install seat(s)
• Install harnesses

To get car roadworthy:

• Install rear bumper
• Install horn
• Have sway bar mounts welded in place
• Install rear sway bar
• Have car aligned and corner balanced
• Install rear tow hook

Crap! And I DO know how you feel about your tools on the ground. I took everything I could carry, then ADD kicked-in and I forgot to make that second trip (for the more important stuff, too)! SORRY!!!

On the other hand, I forgot to borrow the 17mm Allen tool to remove the transmission fluid plug, and the axle nuts I meant to borrow didn't fit (lucky I brought an axle with me...). But after the engine started yesterday, I have lots of credit in the "luck" and "doing okay, thanks" departments.



Also, I forgot to thank Scott for standing by with the fire extinguisher when I started the engine. Here's the order of events: With DME relay out, cranked engine for 10-15 seconds, then ran the fuel pump (by running a test lead from the battery to the lower side of the fuse) for 20 seconds. Then put in the DME relay and turned the key, then swapped the plugs from the wiring harness, then found the DME wire on the top of fuse 5 instead of fuse 5 and switched that, and possibly switched the wiring harness plugs back again, and it started!
