LONG LIVE THE RB!

So I had a few of the locals come around tonight. Shout out to "Stinky Poo, Sinister & Wilderboy"

They brought along a jump starter and we decided to do another comp test with a starter pack giving it power.

Cyl 1 = 95

Cyl 2 = 90

Cyl 3 = 80

Cyl 4 = 105

Cyl 5 = 95

Cyl 6 = 100

Sat around and pondered the idea about costs doing an engine swap or just giving up on the dream

But Stinky Poo (Don't want to f**k up the spelling to your real name) Decided he wanted to put it back together and give it one more chance.

We put everything back in and back together and the farken bitch started first go!

Didn't even miss a beat!

Right now I'm left scratching my head as to why the compression is still so low (could it be possibly the tester itself?)

and left wondering why the car just decided to start again for no reason.

Leaves me worried I'm going to get stranded somewhere I don't want to be.

Old, Cold Engine. Maybe there was a dodgy electrical connection that improved with reassembly?

"stranded somewhere I don't want to be."

Karma (CARMA) is alive and well. :P

Yeah no more updates, the car is just being daily driven and serviced until I can sell it.

Purchased my R34 and it's build thread will be up as soon as it arrives.

Still need to do another comp test on the 33 before I sell it to make sure the buyer is aware of what his getting.

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
