Wern't those old tranny bell crank bushings plastic? Nice upgrade if they were.

yes, plastic and falling apart!

these wont be falling apart in my lifetime:p

Look what I found under the passanger seat!
 

I've replaced a lot of old parts so far, but I think I'll keep this sweet old school Alpine amp for listening to the 80's on 8:)

Seriously, I think I can rig it to run about 40 watts RMS each to the two front speakers at 2.7-ohms and bridge the 2 channels left over to deliver 90 watts RMS to the rears in series at 5.4-ohms...we'll see if it's got a few years left in it or not real soon:D

Thanks Bob, they are Sparco tunner/streat seats R100s and weigh around 26 lbs in cloth fabric:
Sparco USA

I decided to go with them cuz they are not expensive and are reclinable for commuting comfort:D.

Closing in on the inerior
 

Lots of time to get things done during the holidays:)

Once I get the new RS door panels in I'll be done with the interior. By then I should have my new wiring harness so I should be able to finish off the motor 1st of 2012:D

hey bud that Sparco knob looks uuuuuber cool

Thanks Jim, I think it will help round out the interior very nicely and I appreciate you selling it to meSmileWavy

I never noticed an answer for this. I know on the 930 throttle body there are certain ports that don't see vacuum until specific throttle positions. I would verify that the port you used is a 'normal' port from someone who is familiar with the Carrera throttle body or look up a Carrera diagram and see where the factory FPR was connected.

Thanks Willtell, it's easy to gloss over things like vac fittings, but they will sure cause issues on down the road if not properly connected now!

It's hard to tell from the PET for sure, but it's a shared port that has a sensor on the other nipple. Anybody know of this double nipple fitting at the base of the C2 TB and if they are for vac or not?

i think it's a temp switch (valve) like the one on the turbo that changes disrtibutor advance once the engine is warmed up.

That make sense to me! I'll find another source for vac for the fuel regs...

Looks like I just need to find out where this vac hose connects on the TB:

It almost looks like the thermo valve has a direct vac connection at the TB and this vac hose connects to the other thermo valve nipple. I'll check to see if the thermo valve can act as a pass through for vac...I've seen stranger things;)

Fabbed up some new IC supports
 

these look pretty good for a free hand drill press & CNC machine:)
