Just got a new name/ belly pan for my new project. Elisa

First day of progress. Got the engine out of the first car and got the cx tranny bolted up to it. Almost broke the breaker bar taking off one of the axle bolts but it went pretty smooth otherwise.

Oky doky, I got it running on friday. Kind of bummed because the cx transmission I bought is super loud. But of well. It shifts nicely. The car is pretty cool. The chassis rides way better then my old one. I'll be hooking up my mpguino and fuel injector kill switch today or tomorrow to get some numbers on it. Oh and the speedometer isn't working so I gotta figure that out first.
Hey if anyone has gotten the shift light to work in a swap like this please tell me what I need to do!! Thanks

Shift light? I would leave it unhooked...

Can't wait to see some numbers.

[Jakins]

Well this chassis didn't come with a plug for the light but I'm probably going to cut it from my old chassis and run the wires as soon as I figure out what they are.

[Jakins]

Got some numbers today!! I'm having trouble with me speedometer but I installed my mpguino and was able to check out the mpg on my way to the skate park and I'm liking what I'm seeing!! It was getting waay better highway and city milage then my previous set up. And this doesn't have any aero mods yet. I'm pretty excited about it.

[Jakins]

I was cruising between 58 and 75 mpg the whole time. With the aero mods and hot air intake and everything I'll be able to average 70 on the highway all day I think.

[Jakins]

Killin it. Kill switch shift knob.
