Andrew's engine swap (pics)

dude gm's always seem to be either really, really big (i've worked at 3 different stores and 2 of them were huge) or dykes (the other store was a dyke lol)

but enough wendys shit.
back to andrew.

listen, this is what you need to do. its fool proof.

win the lottery. but only when its at like 250mill+. bank 3/4 of it, and go to town with the rest. and throw a few g's my way for the idea

Haha.. I wish... I'd give you a solid mil if I won. lol. too bad I don't play it.

yeah me neither. Every once in a while when it gets up there I tell myself to spend the few bucks and grab some tickets, but I never do

andrew I was checkin up on your wire tuck thread, and I noticed you had watery carpet. I don't know if you ever figured out what it was because I honestly didn't take the time to read through 4 other pages to look for an answer. I had the same problem (it got real bad when it ruined my carpet and I had to take it out, and the time in between old and new carpet rain make it lake SI in the cabin) but got it fixed. Just lemme know

Nah man, I haven't fixed it. It's coming from under the dash on the right side. It drips down from what looks like bottom corner of the windshield..
Oh and if your talking about the puddle under the passenger seat, I blew out my sunroof drains and took some clear sealant caulking and took care of the small cracks on top of the hatch area, so thats not leaking anymore. It's just the dash thing.

What was your problem?

you have to replace a piece under the wiper area. through the outside not dash.

Any idea what part #?
Is it just a firewall plug or what?

if you remove the wiper cover youll be able to see what is broken.

my 2g integra did the same thing.

yeah mine ended up being that the seals around my taillights were bad, like gone almost, and rain actually went from there and got under behind my seat, and I didn't think it was but I looked and watched rain (I didnt have carpet so i could see in rainstorms where the water was going/coming from) and I just got new seals, and bang fixed that shit right up.

Dyno day on the 13th mang. If I'm in town I'll be there. You need to get some baseline #'s on the ole b16 before t3h b3ewst Same as last time, $50.00 for 2 pulls except there's no deposit.. First come, first serve.

Haha... if by "girl" you mean, "Halo 3" then yes!
Oh yeah, Kristen... I guess she counts, too.

Dyno Day = teh secks
I'm SO there.

Guys. I think it's my axle(s).
Which would make it happen when I turned right? Passenger or Driver? idk...but I'll ask the people I bought them from if I can do an exchange on them. That'd be awesome.

Car's running great otherwise!
I did a little more tucking of some vacuum hoses the other day. My camera is charging so I'll have the pics up in a jiffy.
