So some of you may know that i've been working on my Alltrac for almost a year now, but i finally took it out on the road a few hours ago. I was waiting for this moment for such a long time, but finally felt that it was ready to hit the road. I took it out to go eat some pho with my friends. It handles great. I'm going to take it out again tomorrow to get new tires put on. Im sooo excited, tonight totally rocked . I'm just so happy i finally got to drive it! I don't know if i'll be able to sleep tonight haha.

Ok here's how it started (or not started hehe)..
So when i first buy the car, nothing operates on it. No lights, no camera, no action .

So i take the little guy home, feeling sorry for it and i give it a home in my garage.

The first problem that needed to be tended to was that the car obviously wasn't getting any power. Easy fix, new battery. Now i had a few lights going on but my car wouldn't crank. Problem, bad grounding. the previous owner relocated the battery and bolted the negative wire onto painted metal. Solution, RE-relocate battery to the front and ground it properly.

Next problem, car would crank but wouldn't start. Found out becuase the guy had the spark plug wires all in the wrong order. Solution, put them in the RIGHT order.

Ok so then after that, car would start and i was like score! Only problem was it was running richer than Bill Gates. So then after a few months, decided it was the AFM and saved up enough money for it. Bought it, recieved the wrong one, and that kind of held my project back. Then a friend decided to be nice and bought me one when he went to the junkyard. EXACT same thing as the wrong one I had. So I paid him for the AFM anyways, as a thank you for his efforts. Looked and looked for the RIGHT AFM, but everytime i asked people to give me the part number on the AFM sticker they had, they would stop replying to my messages. FINALLY just sourced an AFM from an RX7 FC, and tada! She is alive!

Now I'm just replacing any parts on it that are worn. Throwing on new CV axles next week, then idk what else to do. It feels like... i have no purpose in life anymore haha. The past year has been spent trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my car. It all looks so simple when I just write things down as 3 easy steps, but dammit haha, it took forever for me to find problems and solutions becuase i would get mad at my car and not want to look at it for days haha.

I have learned a lot during this project though. What i have really learned is to stick with the damn 6GC cause it cuases me a lot less headaches haha. But i still love the Alltrac becuase damn dude, when i was driving it at work, there were people staring at my car and they were laying on the ground trying to see if i was really AWD . Atleast thats what i think they were doing, I dont know what they were doing. Maybe they just wanted to look at my car from a low angle shot? Hmmm. But anyways, it turns head .
