A few random pics I took...

 

Ughhhhhh I love Del Sols, yours looks so nice. My next project car after college and I have a job at a dealership/shop is going to be a junk Del Sol and completely rebuild it, might make it an autox car. Seeing the pics of yours makes me wish I got one instead of my ek though lol.

 

Got a new driver side upper motor mount today... the old one had some cracking and was leaking some fluid stuff, apparently hydraulic fluid according to google search results.

Old mount out:

man that old fluid is NASTY!!!!!! mine was bad on my old 96 i just wrapped a rag around it and after about a few months it just about stoped ozzing.

 

yea when I changed my timing belt a while back i was trying to bust loose the crank pulley bolt and fluid shot out of the mount and into my face down below. That's when I first knew it was bad.

Nice work with the mount! I was actually talking with a buddy about the hydraulic mount recently. I never knew about it before then.

 

Picked up a few various items at the store today

Some vacuum tubing for the turbo project (it's actually fuel line but it's really thick and durable and can withstand more pressure than the vinyl line I was looking at)



Picked up some extra 1/8" NPT plugs for my vacuum manifold



And I bought the bolts I needed for mounting my turbo and adapter plate. I don't have pics of the turbo bolts. I also forgot to get bolts for the downpipe.

mounted the adapter plate to the manifold

studs removed


gasket maker on


bolts on


done




Also, I bought an OEM del Sol spoiler for $80 shipped, already painted black and with all hardware. The rear of my sol seems to be missing something and I think this will balance it out a little. I'll post pics when I get it.

 

alright, i just ordered a couple couplers that i'm missing, t-bolt clamps, an oil sandwich adapter, output shaft seals, input shaft bearing, input shaft bearing, and rear main seal.

Getting close to having everything I need. Not on my list on the first page though is the money it will cost to have my downpipe modified to fit with this different manifold.

 

front mounted my a/c fan... much more room for turbo
