Tax Paid
I paid the tax. @2002jm was kind enough to let me have the H26. It's going to stay in Boise.
The car is as described. More importantly...it runs strong! Rev's freely, no smoke, shifts cleanly with very short throws. Very fun. I do think the tach needs to be sync'd. Seems to idle lower than indicated and rev lower than it indicates.
My plans are to continue to sort mechanicals; bushings, brakes, bearings, shocks, seals, electrical, ect. Unless someone talks me out of it I am ceramic coating the headers. They are HOT! Interior refresh. New carpet. Door panel and rear panel repair/refresh. Decide on seat material. If I could find the right center fabric common in Hartge's I would do that. Open to suggestions. Otherwise, black leather with perforated centers.
Currently I have a 72 Tii with the motor out. I need to finish that prior to really digging into the H26. The head and block are assembled and I am finishing throttle body restoration while I wait for my pump and injectors to get back from resto. It's a Euro spec build with 9.5:1 Mahle's on the second overbore. With the head decked it will be close to 10:1.
When the Tii is running I will get serious with the H26 motor but have no plans other than cleaning up what Hartge spec'd. For now, it will just be fun to drive something new. I'll update the thread as I work along but it will be really slow until the Tii is running again. I'm on the 2002faq with the same username but don't post a lot. It's been fun to read through a new forum!!!
