Had a pretty ***ty weekend. Car was towed on Friday for expired plates (my own fault) so I spent Sunday getting the POS out of the impound. Getting a non-running car out of impound sucks to say the least, but at least it's back in my possession. Rented a UHaul dolly and went to town...

also picked up a 3" exhaust system for cheap yesterday, no pics but it's a huge piece of pipe (that's what she said)
Should be getting back to working on it within the next few weeks.

When I got my 3" my wife was not impressed, kind of shrugged her shoulders, and walked away. She doesn't like my car either, so it is an uphill battle
Great job on the car moving, even if it was to and from the impound lol

gnavs, every time I see this thread title it makes me chuckle. Most people want to build a FAST AAZ rather than a slow one. Where's the challenge in building a slow one?
haha, I've honestly never read it that way. It's always been the build itself thats slow. Either way, it's never going to be considered fast by todays standards. I just want it fast
er were you get that intercooler from? how much? what did it come with? this build looks pretty sweet Good luck.
I picked it up on the vortex classifieds. under $100 to my door but i think it may have suffered some slight damage during the tow.

got some work done on the downpipe the last couple nights. Man is that ever slow going, 3 hours into it and all we had was the first 2 bends in place. Having the first couple bends TIG welded at my roomates work, the rest will likely be MIG welded.
Exhaust is also in place and I've run the battery pos. cable from the trunk to the engine bay. Hopefully ready to start it this weekend.
Cross your fingers...

Here's a pic of the downpipe with the last sections tacked. It's since been MIG welded and is installed in the car.
Filled it up with G12, power steering fluid, cranked it over manually and circulated some oil before the big moment. Hooked up a battery and noticed some smoke. Not good... Disconnected the battery and had a look inside the bay. Turns out the ring connector that runs from the positive terminal on the starter to the alternator was just barely touching the ground connector next to it. I moved it out of the way, reconnected the battery and tried to start the car but the starter won't even turn. i ran out of time to work on it, I'm out in Ontario for work this week, but I'm thinking the starter fried.
Will reevaluate and go from there. If anyone has a spare AAZ starter lying around I may just take it off your hands.

Got the starter issue sorted out, the solenoid must have fried.
It actually started with relative ease on Saturday night and the sound it made can be directly compared to farm equipment. Shut it down pretty quick though to evaluate an oil pressure indicator that didn't turn off (methinks it's just the sensor) but I'll be hooking up the oil pressure gauge soon to monitor things in real time.
Also, both mt accessory belts slipped off so I'll need to figure that out too.
I'll take a vid tonight so you can hear for yourselves. I'm elated at this point though

The oil pressure indicator will flash if there is no input from the W terminal on the alternator to the dynamic oil pressure warning system, just FYI. I see you mention your accessory belts were off so that would cause the oil indicator to flash. I freaked myself out after I did my first T-belt change and fired the engine up without the alternator belt on.
