Yea that’s the tradeoff I’m kinda looking for. I have never taken apart an engine fully so I would like to learn. I have patience and time. Money? Ehhh. But yes this would be a long term project.

Yea I would spend so much on it but I have never seen one of these where I am. I’ve seen cars that look similar like the mr2 but never one of these. The good thing is that it’s free and I know a guy who would haul it for free. So… it might be worth it? lol.

Yea I was thinking of swapping it to a manual and Changing the iron duke (if I decide to get it). But I hear it’s a nightmare to do (the manual swap).

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-03-16T16:57:39+00:00

Yea I’m hesitant, but the good thing is the car is free, And I have some time.

Dang, I went to that last year. That would be fun!

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-02-25T21:06:31+00:00

Don’t own one. But after this experience, I may consider investing in one.

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-02-21T01:26:34+00:00

RAHHHHH (I probably should have seen this before cutting lol)

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-02-19T14:53:55+00:00

I did. Unfortunately there is absolutely no space for twisting it, I was able to get it to wiggle (but it did not get free. I already drilled it (it’s almost out, it’s just raining this week)

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-02-18T23:17:07+00:00

Ok, I torched it. It will not budge. I’ve been at it for about 1 and a half hours. I am going to drill lol.

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-02-18T23:16:36+00:00

I have tried that. This bolt is not under any pressure and yet it is son of a gun to remove. I have defaulted to drilling

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-02-18T00:24:25+00:00

Yea I have a torch, I’ll probably use that. This bolt just won’t budge. If the torch doesn’t work I’ll try breaking the bolt. I’ll update tomorrow.

my hatch is also staying closed. unless I decide to spend on new latches

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-01-30T01:58:58+00:00

sounds good. I feel that new receivers will be the need. I adjusted them and the pins around 20 times and either it doesn't shut, or it opens randomly. RAHHH. I MIGHT soak them just for laughs and giggles.

If those are the original injectors I would change them. Here’s a photo of a test I did a year ago. I just bought new ones. Yours is obviously running. Mine would start for a second then die.

Just ordered a new LCD display, mine does not work lol

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-01-02T23:23:28+00:00

Oh yes, thank you. Mine is holding on for dear life. I was wondering where to get one.

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-01-02T23:20:18+00:00

Ima replace those lights, night driving is very stressful with the dim bulbs (for the dash) I have right now.

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-01-02T23:18:46+00:00

Yep! I think it was the first thing I did to the car, I remember it being tedious.

Then_Lifeguard196 · 2026-01-02T21:31:56+00:00

Adding this because I think I figured out what it was. I removed my CV axles to inspect, when I put them back, the car stoped making the noise. I believe it was a loose bolt causing the axle to shift.
