I could really care less about the numbers now... I know they're low, and it would just kill it. Like an STD test, ya know? Haha, totally kidding. Before I swap it out I could if one's handy. I've got a buddy with a ghetto one that reads close to accurate.

A few pictures:

And if this could get moved to the tech section that'd be great... Not really a questioning thread anymore.

 

nice

 

i recently found a leak in my pd. did u go with the s5 fuel rail? i read u cant do the bolt on the s4 rail. im sitting pretty good at 180k, my goal is 200k

 

Just curious Brett - out of all the updates you did, how much money and how much time do you have in doing them? What could you have bought with that money? I personally would've found a different car, but that's just me.

Yes, I used a banjo bolt and 2 crush washers- there's a thread in the archives that says everything you need for it. Not too hard either, just a few bolts, vacuum lines, and cables.

It's a hobby, and I honestly can't justify any of the money, but if you ask any other car freak out there they've done the same thing. And why not this car? It's got high mileage and the chassis is worn, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. I've got maybe $3000 in the car, but I've bartered and traded and found good deals everywhere. And if I decide to part with it, nearly everything I've done to it can be swapped over to another FC. It's my thing, man, I've got no regrets.

But this car's fun- it still needs a little bit of work like paint and some new bushings all around, and then the work I've got planned for it once it's parked for a while. Once that's done, it'll be just fine. Just what would you have suggested I done?

 

nice. keep up the work man. my old fc has 200k miles on it and i raped that thing almost every single day.

 

The T2/GXL one does?

 

Waited for a deal like this to pop up, and buy it?

Well not all of us can afford 4K cars while in college, so oh well. I'm perfectly fine with working to make my car look good, and I think I've done a decent job over the 4 years I've owned mine.

 

you can polish a turd and all you get is a shiny turd!!! you know what you have ,keep it, work on it ,drive it, love it !!!! looks good


88 vert. 32k
90 vert 140k doing resto $5000.00 and counting

 

I think you made the right choice!

I also feel that there is a lot more to a car than a $$ return number... modifying a car is never about how much money you can get back out of it, it's all about having fun.

 

It still shocks me that Brett's car still runs as well as it does. I vote for 300k THEN we'll swap in that other motor...

 

Wow. +1 for taking it to 300k, you're almost there!

 

Not only do I vote for taking it to 300k, but I vote that when it hits 300k he and I make a video similar to that convertible torture vid... But we'll make sure the oil and coolant is fresh and secure before holding it foot to the floor until it blows.

When we can blow the motor apart and make book ends with it! lol

 

I would just love to see my vert hit 160k on the original engine. Grats to the TC...lets see odometer shots.

Finally taking care of that eh?

 

Got 253k on my 88SE. Original seals. My goal was to hit 300k, but alas, I have the tell tale signs of a coolant seal going out

 

Screw it, try that headgasket repair trick. Just loop the heater hose line first. At 253,000mi on the engine cant seen much being reusable in a rebuild, what much is there to lose?

 

Hmm... I vote no

I snapped an odometer picture yesterday, and tried making a little video but failed miserably. So all I have to show is the picture...

The first one I ever took (which was a few hundred more than when I bought it) and then the one from yesterday.

 

And I'm still getting crazy in it...







This was supposed to be an autocross sort of event, but it turned into a 'lets get crazy and just beat the living hell out of our tires' event This was about two weeks ago...

 

Looks like a impromptu drift event.

 

Brett, when is that next one happening? I need to request this crap off... lol You know, cuz I have a job..

 

Idk when, I just check up on the SE section whenever. The guy who gets them together's rotary drift dreams or something.

 

Well help him pick out a date in October and I'll be there for sure. Yes, this is my world and you will plan your lives around me. Bow down to the awesomeness of my car!
