as of right now NO.. i suspect a fuel pump when i first looked at it last week, but once i got it home to start working the basics, spark, air and fuel, i started to fix the spark plug wires and they are glued or melted in the head, so at this point i said fuck it and called it, so once im done with it, it will be running, and im gona start routine maintenence, and prep for the turbo build, cant wait,Quote:

Continued with my "led conversion". Switched out a couple cluster bulbs to red leds..kinda dissappointed. Seems like anything close to amber or red shows up so so, compared to the white leds in the blue cluster (non gtz). Had regular amber bulbs prior too, and the color wasnt vibrant either.
The other thing I worked on was the climate control, which just had stock bulbs. They got replaced with blue leds. That was way more of a success, except I ran out of daylight to put it all back. Anyyone who can change the bulbs without completely taking the climate control out, I tip my hat to you. Its a pain let alone getting the bulbs out/in.
This has been a pretty fun weekend for me! Started by just switching out my turn bulbs. Today I did the famous debadging lol
This is what I started with

I like to think it came out pretty good! Still a bit of "ghost letters" But you can barely see them. Hopefully will take care of them once I get it washed!

Just got these today. Hoping to get this done in the next week or two.
Hell yeah!
I was able to get the rest of the exhaust installed. Got it all taken care of. Now I just got to get the inner tie rod done and I can get it legal. Video of exhaust is in my build thread if anyone is interested.

Bought an OEM Evo 8 fuel rail.
O shit! It's so hard to find a clean gray interior on a Diamante in a junkyard around here, most of them have the beige interior. Good find and good luck, between you and Joe (cleazy123) one of y'all gonna have the dash in!
If you figure out the Diamante's EL gauges, that'll be sick!
replaced one of my belts since when I would turn on the car once in a while it would squeak
that's a nice dash
came across these at junkyard had to get them guess its time for the fronts next

MORE NFO! I'm going to cleazys thread lolQuote:

Infact to do it the right way...it would need to be trimmed on both sides , door panels have to be glassed so they can mate up with the now trimmed and glassed dash "sides". Then cluster....bezel would have to be somehow made bigger by putting ours inside of the diamante one and then bondoed and painted for aesthetics . Dash itself has no mounting points AT ALL....so you have to fab some up with scrap metal and a drill, nuts, and bolts. Hvac...lol, somehow glass the top of the hvac unit and glass in elbows and possible run 1 3/4" conduit with a shit load of elbows and 45's and then more glassing. Oh and lastly ...don't see how I would ever get the Diamante airbag in there and safely secure...you'd have to be a master welder...could dummy it up but that's not my style.
So make a long story short , if like to get my hands in a legnum or ec5 dash which I think only comes in RHD or I'm actually searching for another 8g dash ...too much work but we'll worth the try.
The galant dash is roughly 55" ish the Diamante's is 57" ish. I've got a spare shell to mock it up and properly fit it door cards and all. Right now I am trying to figure out the schematics for the EL gauges so I can use it. Right now the pcb out for full schematic as well as spare I4 cluster. I will update in a few weeks. Center console also needs redone mounts as well. Im going to attempt this properly since it is a large project with no knowledge aside from the previous comment. I might go back and grab the whole HVAC as well.
I've never seen those seats with the extra pleats and lines in them, that's interesting. I couldn't see that detail before on the mobile.Quote:

Got these in today. Along with a new battery, alternator, wiper motor, and negative battery cable yesterday.
^ duddeee i'm lovin those! how much did they run you? what size?
They are Konig Feather. 17x7.5 45 offset. I got them from Discount Tire for $450 shipped but the picture they show on the web site is of an 8 spoke (which is what I actually wanted) but the 5 lug version only comes in the 10 spoke.
I missed a good deal on some wheels due to money issues the other day :( oh well ill get some someday. Those look good btw I like em!
Cleand the summer shoes

Made a reinforcement plate for the spare wheel since it was always collapsing (4 mm thick aluminum is all we had so thats what i got )

Lookin clean

Thinking about selling her tho. i just know its going to be a car im going to miss whole lot, its just so damn expensive to customize a usdm car
Wheels looking clean fellas. Well I took advantage of warmest day we'll probably have this week and the next, and plasti dipped my diamond stars. For a windy day ans my history of bad luck painting, they came out great. The excess peeled off like a dream. The rear needed a slight clean up, but that was due to me rushing taping the hole around the emblem in the drop sheet, and also not spreading it further around the car. Plus the wind didn't help. But still a great success.
If anyone plans to do this my only tips are: 4 coats at diff angles, 10 mins b/w first 3 coats and 20 for the last before peeling. Also on on the front try to coat the recessed area of the bumper as much as the emblem, so it will peel with the outter excess (peeled like a dream). For cleaning/prep I just sprayed a paper towel with invisible glass and wiped. Was afraid anything else would cause a reaction
Step one to restoration... New tires. I wanted to paint these rims before I installed them but mine were bald (partially causing that accident).
Gonna play with the height a bit and hopefully roll the rear In a week or so.

Great job on the aluminum reinforcement. Gives me an idea.

I used some wood and traced the spare tire cover on it. Cut it. Heated the carpet and peeled it off and then glued it back onto the new piece. Never will it cave in again!
