Hey all

[irishkev90]

No updates yet, still waiting on parts. But I did manage to replace my upstream O2 sensor this morning. The idle was all over the place and stalled out randomly. Most people say to check and clean the EGR, but someone else mentioned it could be the O2 sensor. There was no code or CEL, but I got a new one anyway. So far the car is running fine, no more bouncy idle and no stalling. I'll check back in after work since it usuually does it then as well.

I've neglected this a little bit. Here's a little bit more:

Got my calipers and rear sway bar

Going to get new calipers.

Painted the front knuckles and rear sway bar brackets.

Passenger side. Cleaned, no paint.

Driver side. Painted.

Just used some Duplicolor caliper paint since I had a can of it laying around. They're both painted now. No pics of the sway bar brackets, but whatever, you all know what they look like.

Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected. Code P0301. I'll be working on getting this straightened out soon, I hope.

Hopefully got the misfire sorted out. Cleaned the heck out of the EGR valve. Also used Never Sieze on the shaft. Moves wicked smoothly now. Also, got a 323 GTR shift knob. Needs some repairs, though.

Got some more replacement goodies today

Bunch of bushings and endlinks:

The front sway bar end links are different. The left one cost more, but wasn't bagged. They're both Beck/Arnley, though...

Also, got all the boxes labeled so I know what's what:

On a side note, I forgot about my Cusco tie bar. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it sitting the corner, haha.

Okay, so the pedal assembly I got is from an EGT and isn't going to work. So I ordered one from a '98 Protege. Also, the shifter finally got here yesterday. Now all I need is a new brake master cylinder for a manual transmission, some hard and soft clutch lines and I think that's it. Also still waiting for my MFactory LSD. They had a problem when moving from one office to another and some stuff got damaged. They should be back up and running by now, though.
