Project? That looks mint! I had an 85 silver/blue but traded it for an 89 t-top shelby D. Then someone killed it. :(

just clean up the engine bay, get rid of some of the goofy stuff that it has right now
clean up the gauge setup and fix the factory tach
really not anything big at all

couple update pics,
engine bay is looking a whole lot better, going to go pick up some gauges from brad tonight
fix the factory tach over there and then all it really needs is the gauges hooked up and a FPR
I'm also going to change the IC to a spearco and change the piping to fully remove the 5th injector

Looks good John, Much improved already on the wiring.

Now the only thing that bugs me about it is the tires, big-n-littles just aren't doing it for me.

You need a kick panel for it? I think I've got a few blue ones.

Thanks dave
I'm going to do something about the tires soon,
i hate that and the side exit
want to trade for a gray one?
i also need another shifter, black trim around the shifter, and the storage box in blue

thanks guys!

i have a quick question, what wires run the fuel pump?
the cars not getting fuel and i ran direct wires from the pump to a battery and it fired up but only runs on whats left in the lines...
i took a ton of wires off including the 5th injector setup so im assuming it had something to do with that..

Thanks man

Heres a little update, i got it running again but its running super rich,
i took out the +40s and put in green tops (+18s) for now to get it running better..
still running way to rich..
i have stock fuel pumps and stock later style FPR still..

it has been a few years...
After 2011 it sat till early 2013 when me and Joe Manduno started cranking on his van
it made me want to get the SC going right away, so i pulled it out of storage
my goal was to put down a decent time at the track,
for only going out twice my best time was a 12.6 and that has got me hooked on making it faster :nod:

my other project i picked up late 2013 the "lancer-baron" had a 2.2 with venolias, an enforcer 2 turbo that i robbed from
that car to put in the SC.
and the setup from my SC is going in the lancer-baron
here are a few pics from this past year

Just waiting on some parts before I can put this thing together
I couldn't wait to see how the lengel intake is going to look so I popped it on today
And cleaned up the core support..

That's a close fit. I was wondering if the strut tower bar I have on my car would have worked with that intake. It would be REALLY close! Man I love that color combo.

JohnnyIroc
05-01-2014, 12:08 AM
yeah it sure is and there is no trans in there yet so its not exactly where it will sit but i think i have it pretty close.
i have the ebay strut tower bar made by i think his name was mike combs,it was bumping the hood vent when i had it in.
so we will find out if it still fits when i get it more together.
i am more stuck on the intake then the strut tower bar.

What wheels are those? The look great on the car.

JohnnyIroc
05-01-2014, 12:59 PM
the fronts are Motegi Track Lites
but the silver lace wheels are MB Mesh X
I wanted the SRT BBS wheels and these where the closest match I could find.
thank you i really like them and i got a great deal on them.
