Car finally running!

After too damn long, my E16i Pulsar has finally moved under its own power for the first time in about 2 years. I've been driving it around but I'm not too impressed with the performance so far, especially considering the fact that it has a Euro cam in it. I was in a hurry when I put it back together and I used the old plugs, cap and rotor so it may be better when I replace those things. The car also feels like every bushing is worn out. I may have to upgrade the bushings and motor mounts to the stiffer NISMO pieces and put in new ball joints.

I'll let you all know how things progress.

Old plugs, cap, and rotor. You should be flogged!

So did you buy all new filters? Gas, air, oil, breather?

BTW, congrats on getting it back on the road.

I stopped at the parts store and picked up the new plugs, cap and rotor. And yes I actually used new oil and a new filter but the little mesh breather thing in the air cleaner is old and dirty but I think I have a new one floating around somewhere.

BTW, I used the Topline rebuild kit from JC Whitney. It was complete and worked well.

Well, let us know how she runs. Hopefully the new ignition parts will do the trick.
