New Updates on Fbomb
Well, today my dad fixxed something else on the old girl.
Before the car would cough and be hard to start, turn over slow, stall etc. It would sound like a starter solinoid when going to start it, but it ended up being the battery. I suppose the battery was SO low some of the sensors werent reading right. Changed the battery, runs ***** now! Fresh, crisp, awesome! Also there was a small vaccuum line that was starting to collaps, so he replaced that aswell.
It starts quick, ran for 2hours, no stalling, apprently my dad took it down the street byu the storage, and it jumps the front end up and actually pulls pretty good. Im impressed!
Also, fixxed the fans (the switch was laying near the manifold and melted) soldered the Coolant temp switch and the fans kick in good now aswell! Just need that heatercore, but thats for after DOT/Etest

A little before and after so see how far I've come :

Re: New Updates on Fbomb
These are latest pics from my dads cell phone he took today
Cleaned the car, fixxed some vaccuum lines, car runs flawless now
Which is good news!


All four lights work now, would only kick in two with that dead battery haha :



Finish with my mom being a fool and pretending to get in my car haha :

----------
So I had car in the air other day, and I could put my hand through the floor in some spots... then I looked better and thru the rust was a brand new floor.... Found out somebody put in a new floor from the top and left the rotted stuff down below
From the Bottom :

Top : (brown is glue from mat)

You can see where the tarred it and its all brand new 8)

Re: New Updates on Fbomb
Ok so its out!
Heres my story :
Left at 7:30am, got the car to the Saftey place.. doesnt need a thing to pass saftey inspection, so Just $55.00 for Saftey and $15.00 for oil change labour (had my own oil). Found out his Etest guy wasnt at his shop.. so I went to my old place of employment, Candian tire.. car had an exhuast leak that I couldnt even get it on the etest machine with any leaks. So I went to Midas, Both y-pipe gasets were leaking, and also a hole in the convertor. So he had to drop pretty much the whole system to fix, so I brought him my catback to get put on. He also fixxed my leaking A.I.R pipe
All for $265.00 Taxes IN. Then I go to Etest, pass no problems, arrive home at 6:25pm!
1) Car has new shocks.springs installed (before I bought it), thing rides like a race car, stiff and ridgid, and it handles AWESOME
2) It has a mild shift kit installed and brakes the car sideways when you hit 2nd gear
Video : I got on it after it spun off the line, and my dad hit some bumps as I shifted it, but you can see the back end walk right as the car coming at me goes by, then I held it till it hit 3rd and snaped back lol, AWESOME : Click here to watch Camaor-008
3) Got my full exhuast on it *drool* - once it gets some km on it, it will get louder 8)
Sound Clip : Click here to watch Camaor
4) It passed Saftey and Etest!
WHENS THE SOONEST MEET!!

No matter, he's proud of his car, and just showing it off.
