#197736 slow progress but i now have new tires on Hx wheels and fixed the timing issue, and now i just have to finish a coolant line i forgot about.
i got the transmission oil seal replaced and everything is done but i need to get exhaust bolts and a cluster with a tach or just an after market tach.

i have a somewhat built d16z6
but im really trying to just find the right 6speed trans for the right price right now.




well on cars that have been completely rebuilt is it normal for an idle issue to happen until the car has been run for around 15 or so min because the motor has to get broken in? because everything on this is pretty much new
