Gona try getting new rims on it tomarrow and start cleanin the engine bay. And move on from there.

[93DEESEM]

does it run?

[BOORAH]

No motor or trans.

I'd worry about that part first.

[96eclipse]

Na im not in a hurry to get it running. Im gona try to get time to remove the ac tonite and i may do a fuse box relocation and little stuff like that.

[flawlessTSI]

sweet. what are your plans for the car?

[93DEESEM]

Unless you're dead set on a fusebox relocation i would advise against it, it's a pain in the ass from personal experience

[96eclipse]

Well i removed the ac and power steering tonite and did a bunch of cleaning. The strut towers have very little rust. Got the charcoal canister out. If tommarrows nice im gona start removing the ac condenser and mounting the fmic. Plans for the car are still being debated. I found a good deal on an awd talon and i rly want to do an awd swap. Been doing a bunch of reseach and im really tempted to do it.

I was gona keep the fusebox in the same area just mount it so it looks better and i get more room. I think im gona run it up and down on the passenger side and run the intercooler piping underneith it.

[wwbubbajoe]

[96eclipse]

Nothing new really. moving to omaha. Finaly get my own garage.

[93DEESEM]

So you're installing a frontmount on a car with no motor and trans?

[96eclipse]

Kinda lol. Getting ready to make the brackets to hold it on and gona trim the bumper so its ready to put on.

[flawlessTSI]

i did that to my car . nothing wrong with that, got to make shur it fits and is centerd. mite as well do the ez stuf so it looks like your maken progress. put some pics up when its on.

[96eclipse]

Well builds come to a halt since im moving to omaha and my extra money is going to paying someone to bring the car down.

[96eclipse]

Well im getting a running 7bolt along with a wideband boost guage and gm maf for 400.

[flawlessTSI]

good deal

[93DEESEM]

Well builds come to a halt since im moving to omaha and my extra money is going to paying someone to bring the car down.

How much does this pay?

[96eclipse]

bringing the car down?

[93DEESEM]

yes

[96eclipse]

Well my uncle will do it for 100. It needs pulled on a trailer since i havnt got to working on the suspention.

[96eclipse]

Well the running 7bolt deal went sour. But i got the whole interior removed cleaned and back in. Also got the battery relocated in the trunk. I used the stock bumper support and cut it to get the intercooler on. Ill try to get pics on soon

[MadmaX]

at least you didn't buy a motor to find out it was no good or something.

Ya the timing belt was busted so i honestly didnt know if it was good. I went to u pull on 60th here in omaha. Found a 420a with compression in all cylinders half pulled already and it has a piece of metal stamped on a coolent plug saying warranty void ect. I put it in the trunk of random car tell i get payed lmao. There was water in the oil pan but it was still filled with oil and nothing is siezed up. But i found that every car with a 4g63 was already stripped.

[bud4g63]

you wanna sell that wideband...make some extra cash

[96eclipse]

I didnt get the wideband. the guy backed out.

[MadmaX]

that overheat button you found may indicate the motor was replaced, but not neccisarily that it was new/ rebuilt. most salvage yards stick them on used motors they sell.

Well all gaskets are new and the motor is very clean. head looks as if it was just dipped and clean and the block has the orange color. Timing belt also appears brand new since there is no wear on it. What should you check when buying a motor from a junkyard.

[BOORAH]

But its a 420a...

[96eclipse]

Ya its going in my rs so i can have a good dd.

[BOORAH]

Oh, gotcha.

[96eclipse]

Anyone know of any junkyards with alot of dsm's?

my only advice would be to pay an amount of money where you can't be disapointed. some internal surfaces will rust surprisingly fast too. like cam lobes for example.

mounted the intercooler to the stock bumper support.

[flawlessTSI]

u dont need a bumper support ha its a pain to put bumper back on to.

[96eclipse]

ya there was alot of trimming to get the bumper back on. also wished i new it was fiberglass reinfored plastic. my hands and arms iched for days.

[93DEESEM]

So you blocked half of the intercooler? Or am I missing something

[96eclipse]

only half of the intercooler is showing with a 2ga from bumper anyway

[96eclipse]

Well the spyder is almost stripped and the shell is getting sold. But the rs is getting sideskirts, highrise, and a 2gb front bumper. And there be a few more goodies its getting.
