got the car started tonight!! I had to run a 12+ power straight to the distributor though, anyone have input on why i wouldnt be getting spark if I dont have 12+v going to the distributor?

so stoked on this thread. great work man keep it up

[HasARoofTurtle]

Meh its not that nice. It doesn't run without the 12v because it doesn't feel like it.

I ended up blowing the motor, I lost compression in cylinder 1 and 6 so it looks like i skipped a tooth on timing so its going to be rebuilt. I believe I bent a valve but im going to take the head to a shop to have it checked out.
Will update with pictures soon.

Daaaaammnn... The brown painted engine bits are so cool. Sucks about engine damage tho.

Good work on getting the feature

That sucks...needs some more time. Have you decided on a body color? Now that the E30's brown you'd probably come up with another color on the 02 right..

tigereye mica

[DEADheadDOOLEY]

Bummer about the engine, but this build is awesome regardless

The color looks really really good on the e30, my vote goes for the tiger eye on the 02
