Project Resell: It lives : 2009-05-16
Project Resell: 5/10 to 5/12 : 2009-05-12
It’s on like Donkey Kong. Things are moving along nicely. Of course, I just jinxed myself, so expect a really awful update in a few days.
- Transferred radiator fans from known-cracked radiator to hopefully-good used radiator. Had to replace hardware as it was rusted solid.
- Scrubbed coolant overflow tank and installed radiator minus bottom hose.
- Half-installed AC compressor. Need to put the bottom bolts in, but I needed to get it out of the way and in place for now.
- Finally got the reflash to work. Reflashed ECU to stock 02 WRX ROM
- Attached heater core hoses to firewall
- Reinstalled driver’s seat
- Got a line on some parts needed (used) : intercooler to throttle body coupler, flip-out coin tray, stock clock for the top of dashboard, and e-brake trim since the rubber on this one came ripped.
- Removed Autometer gauges
- Removed Greddy turbo timer and its harness
Project Resell: 4/30 to 5/9 : 2009-05-09
- Got new front bumper cover (needs to be painted along with tired hood scoop)
- Installed air box + filter and connected to turbo inlet
- Installed battery
- Having trouble reflashing the car’s ECU back to the stock ROM image. Waiting for advice.
- Started car for 5 seconds (with no radiator hooked up and no coolant). Nothing sounds broken or installed improperly, and nothing leaked, so that’s a start. We’ll see…
- There are a LOT of loose ends to tie up once the ECU is flashed and the car runs cleanly.
Project Resell: 4/18 to 4/29 : 2009-04-29
- Installed alternator
- Installed belt for PS Pump + Alternator
- Bought and installed OEM rubber plug for the bell housing
- Bought and installed 2 OEM coolant hoses for coolant fill tank
- Started trying to track down an OpenPort 2.0 cable + adapters for ECU reflash
