The kumho's on the 15" wheels will go with it. I am keeping the HX wheels with the Insight tires for my next car. I can have it shipped to you.

Interesting Idea. But shipping would be around $700. What do you think of $4000 shipped??? also has the car been in previous accidents and is the title clean or is it a salvage?

engine back in
A/C on
PS pump on (need to modify the bracket still, but that can wait)
vacuum hoses back on
wiring back in it's spot
radiator back in
radiator fan back in (not perfect, but it'll do)

I need to reattach my cooling lines, change throttle cables and get my VSS hooked up.

Then it's getting a new oil filter, adding the oil, tranny fluid, coolant, and praying before starting the car.

Maybe you should build a remote starter, so you can stand back, way away, so if it goes bang, you won't hit your head on the roof, from being in the car.

Your getting their, just keep dogging it.

ALright... the new dilemna is the fuel line (from the fuel filter to the intake manifold).

Turns out that because of the EGR the fuel line wont' fit correctly. That is also the case for the obd1 fuel line I picked up off of ebay.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be alble to find one at the junkyard that fits correctly.

Is it the fuel line or the fuel rail thats the issue?

It's one or the other. Here is the problem:

Using the DPFI fuel line the line at the end bends in two differnet ways. One is about a 60 degree horizontal bend, and one is a 90 degree vertical bend. The vertical bend is what is killing me. The horizontal bend will fit on either parts, but I can't get the 90 degree vertical bend to fit on either of them.

I should look online to find the exact line I need.

I think I have the fuel line you need, if you can't find one. Its on my spare VX motor I think.

If you have pictures I'd love it. I'll sketch up what the problem is and post it in a second. Feel free to chat with me on AIM if you have the time.

If you sell matt the fuel line will you sell me the engine?
