I know, I have a crap load of work to do but I have 6 months before I my deadline of July 1st. I'm not sure if I'm going to get a JDM front clip yet or not. I have 2 blown 13b at my house but I might still get the front clip. LMK what some of you all would do if you only had this to work with?
These were taken the very first day it was at my house. I cleaned it up alot and the engine bay is all cleaned out now. I wanted to take pics of it in its worse condition to compare to in 6 months.

 

Looks to be a good project. Nice rims too What's with the deadline? I'm from LA as well and would very gladly help you if I lived any closer to NOLA.

 

JDM front clip might be a good inexpensive way to start consider all the stuff thats missing under hood.

I'm thinking a single turbo, Haltech or other EMS that doesn't require a stock wiring harness, no a/c or p/s

 

Whats your goal for the car? Thats a pretty important part Im not seeing.

I personally given the time to do it would build and port my own engine and take the best from the 2 engines you have to work with.

Also Im glad to see its staying rotary.

 

looks like a lot of damn work. I have a tan carpet in mine if you want to trade

 

looks like you have quite a task ahead of you, and im in the same boat, only with an FC . . .

Dude, that's a car, not a storage unit

Lots of work ahead. Good luck

 

nice car,cant wait till its done

 

I want atleast 315whp right now. Much later upgrade to BNR stage 3s and supporting mods and be happy with 450-475whp.
I would love to do the engine work myself but I don;t know how and porting is importent so I'm gonna send it one engine out for a rebuild/streetport soon.

 

Thanks for keeping her out of the junk yard!! no fd belongs there. good luck!

 

I have a friend thats doing the tan to blk and he has first dibs on my carpet.....o-wait, i'm keeping it all black I might go half tan and half blk, I notice alot of Lexus' M.B, etc.. cars are doing that and if done right it looks extremly great. IDK yet though. But i would be keeping the carpet either way.

Thanks for all the comments so far, keep them coming! Anyone else reccomnd the JDM front clip or atleast give me a ball park figure of how much everything will be under the hood minus the engine and tranny?

 

She was actully on her way there. A friend of mine new I was looking for a project car of any kind and told me about his friend that had been tring to sell this and getting tired cuz no one wanted it, so I went and looked at her and bought it 5 days later. If you ask me, he wasen't tring to hard because I know a bunch of people that have offered me money for this car since I bought her.

 

Richard,

Man you finally post pics and I can't see them!! I will have to wait til I get home. Did you post them of photobucket because for some reason work BLOCKED photobucket.

Pisses me off big time.

call me so I can come help ya,
-josh

 

Looks like a nice project there, good luck!

 

do you have 2 13brew engines blown over there or are they two 13b's? I hope your not putting an n/a motor in that thing. Also good luck with that deadline man, 6 months is not alot of time at all.

 

Well, it sounds like it's time to stop typing and start wrenching ;o) GL!

 

I like the BD with JDM lights... I miss mine, also had the JDM lights... but I have a BL now... so I don't miss it that much.


Godspeed on the project BTW.

 

I have 2 blown 13b's and one set of the twin turbo set up. One motor is rusty so i'm goona tear it apart and see if anything is good and the other is just really dirty but was being used less then a year ago when it blew.

Don't worry man, you WILL be getting a call, alnog with everyone else for help!

 

nice project going on, we want to see more picture when you done.

 

hey ill help ya out when i have time im waiting on a flywheel and a few smaller parts to get my supercharger FC out the door

 

Nice man! yea, i agree! 6 months isnt alot of time unless you work at a shop! IMO, to get things done that quick, I would start prepping the engine bay; clear the interior and store that junk somewhere; vacumm the interior(shampoo if necessary); if the paint sucks, its a good time to think of repainting while the engine is in a rebuild phase that way you could repaint the bay also! Start doing this when your crate motor is still in shipment, you'll save time.

As far as the engine goes, it all depends if you got the money and time. But as far as 300hp is concerned, rebuilding to stock perameters aint a bad idea considering you could hit that number stock. And saves you money!

If you spend almost every waking hour on this project, I think you got yourself a chick magnet in 6 months!

5 bux says you get this thing sexified in like 8 months, and 10 if you get 'er done in 10! hehe

 

c'mon guys, he prob got it towed home with that stuff in there, im sure he will sort it out.

 

Trip7- good advice, thanks

tt 13b93- everything you see in the pics i got with the car. These pics were taken before I touched ANYTHING.

 

dude. are you going to post that in every thread? I am already annoyed by you.

send it via PM if you think it is THAT important. but stop spamming!

 

+1

I always love to see someone bringing a car back to life. Good luck and have fun.
