Blog: 91 coupe drift/time attack build up
Hi guys here is my new seven. A red 91 coupe with only 80k miles on the body. The motor has blown coolant seals but the motor in my blk car only has 6k or 7K miles on it. This car is an auto so I'm gonna do the five speed swap. It's pretty much gutted except for the front carpet, dash, door panels, and a passenger seat. The body is nice and straight though it just needs a paint job, but I got that covered. I plan on doing a cutsom wideboy. It's gonna be pretty mild, jus something to fit bigger rims inside there. Pretty much I'm bringing everything over from my 89 GTU to this 91 coupe. My GTU has fram damage from a drifting accident that happened in december. I can still beat on it and I still do. In fact I hid the damage pretty well. But I can't wait to get started on this thing. Here are some pics of it. This is only the beginning and I will record it's steps using this blog.

Pontiac Bonneville rims!!! haha got em at the junkyard for $15 a piece. The offest is a lil too positive for the front and spacers are needed.
I honestly don't know why it sits so damn high. It is gutted though which may have a part in that, and the rims in the back are 16 while the ones up front are 15. I'll fix all that though once I start fixing it up. First thing I'm gonna do is buff the paint out and pull the old motor.
Oh did I mention I got it for $300 and some kregen supplies from my friend.

Sweet deal. What are you going to do about the engine Alex? I'm guessing that you'll be calling Ben at Rotary Evolution for a rebuild or possibly a TII swap? I have a TII motor that I wouldn't mind selling. PM me if you are interested.

That photo a few posts up makes it look jacked up even more. I don't think 16" rims in the rear would be making it look that high. Something is a little funny there.

As for the motor right now I am keeping it NA because I will be daily driving it for awhile. I have a motor in the black car that only has about 7k miles on it, and it is great! It has been pretty good for drifting so far. So, I am going to stick with it until I feel I can't go any further with the NA. Then once I get better and better I will probly switch to a turbo motor so I can keep up with the big dogs. I'm still a rookie, but I'm getting the hang of it now. I figure if I become really good with this stock NA then I'll blow the doors off when I switch to turbo.

Anyways I'm getting off topic. But yes I should be pulling the old motor this weekend once my friend brings over his cherry picker. I just need to make a mount for the tranny since this car was an auto. Then I will pull the motor out of the blk car and into the red car.
Thanks for looking guys. Please give me feedback on what you think and some ideas.
