bibby>Chode Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Thanks guys! I've got $1200 in it. The car has 192k on it, and the motor has 145k. You can look back a few pages an see how clean the inside of the motor is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibby>Chode Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Today i raised the front of the car up one half of an inch. When i first got the car and adjusted the coils, the head was off the motor. When i got a full motor in there, it sat down a little more than i wanted it. Now the front sits even with the rear. I also took some polish to the roof and hood. I already tested the sides, and they will clean up nice. The hood roof, and trunk are the worst parts of the paint. I got some pretty good results for the 1st pass. This Sunday, I'm going to clean my garage from after the swap, then polish the car twice. Give it about 3 weeks, polish it again then wax it. If that works out good, then when the wax wears off, i may have it professionally buffed. Here is teh new stance. This should be the final adjustment. Now for the polished roof and hood. It doesnt look amazing by any means, but a shit ton better than before Maybe after 3 passes, and a wax it'll look pretty good. The hood. I will have those holes glassed up soon.

bibby>Chode Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I know, Right?! the sides were bad, but the roof, hood, and trunk were unbelievable. I'm pretty sure i can get it to shine again. I used to detail cars at a dealership. I know most of them suck, but I'm a little ocd, so i was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibby>Chode Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I haven't got them yet. They aren't off that much. I'm going to replace them when I get a new bumper and fenders, right before paint. I cleaned the engine bay a little before I put it in. I also cleaned it up after. No pics yet. There will be no audio in this beast. It's strictly for speed. As it is right now, I can burn 1st, burn 2nd, and bark 3rd. I can't wait for more power. I'm wiring up vtec tonight.
