I'm not going to be rushing on these cars at all, its going to take time, but what proper build doesnt!?
comments are very welcome, opinions are great too, and I look forward to whatever positive input you all may have to offer! so thanks for checking my thread out, and here we go!
so the 91, first day home.. bone stock, had 58,000km on it, now has just over 60,000km
the bay
and the 94 (its pretty rough.. but it will be a good project)
Blue car is a dream to drive, nice and clunk/squeek-less and still pulls hard. only problem is the stereo doesnt work, seems to be stuck in SAF mode, lol, I dont really care about getting it to work right now, the original owner recently put some sort of stereo in it, theres a massive amp and some other crack in the trunk, but I'm going to gut it out as soon as this weather isnt so ****ing terrible...
the 94... not so much a dream to drive.. the PO probably **** kicked it pretty bad, the interior was pretty clean though! but seems kinda like some stuff was fading (fixed now) and atleast it has a working stereo.. but it clunks like a mother ****er and the suspension is toast. Also has a good ol' CEL that likes to come on from time to time.. and the motor mounts are TOAST! the crank pulley is rubbing on a plastic shield from time to time...
time to address some of the vr6's needs...
The intake tube had a hole drilled in it for some unknown reason...:sly::screwy: and I noticed the sensor connected to the tube was in backwards... arrow pointing to front of car..
So i ordered up a 42dd pipe in wrinkle black.
easy install, great piece, only problem is the little rubber hose pieces they give are about 1.5" too short as it seems.. kind of ridiculous.
makes the bay look a bit better though.
next on the list was to change out the motor mounts, coilpack and wires.. Got a great deal on the coilpack and wires from another member, super great guy, and a not so great but still decent deal on some VF mounts. Figured I'd do all this the same day.
comparison.
still havent got the tranny mount in yet though, its a total bitch to get to and i figure I'll do it when I get new suspension for it..
saw some great electrical master work while putting in the rear mount...:screwy::thumbup:
looks like I'll be doing the 02 sensor as soon as it arrives.. could be contributing to the CEL as well, as the coil and wires didnt really change it, but it does feel like its actually running on 6 cyls now lol.
also found a stray ground??? anyone know what this is for???
and a shot of the motor with the wires on, looks much better than the black wires, and the motor actually sits straight now.. lol removed the middle cover too, it was beat and looked like **** anyways..
