So looks like im going to be waiting until christmas break to rebuild the engine, i have most of the parts already just need some small things here and there and im set
Engine has 207K miles on it now and its still going strong, but i think the rebuild will def make it more reliable
PICs*******************
Ok well i figured since this is a build thread i might as well post pics of my car when i started, like before and after pics
just to let u guys see how far i've come, keep in mind i just graduated this year, high school that is
this is the closest to stock i have pics of, it actually is lowered in this pic
then i went to an exhaust and blacked out badges/rear valence
then i went to this phase...i liked it at the time, but now i look back and, im not feeling it too much lol
this is when i started to love my car, i took a chance on the rims and i really loved how they looked
then i became slammed lol and a roof vinyl, i skipped some, but this is how my car sits today
and now to turbo parts
the two pipes are white cuz i sandblasted them and ran out of flameproof black paint, but i had white lol
hood dampers and vac block
hks turbo timer, mounted and lighting up but not working
greddy weighted shift knob, this is prob the best mod i ever bought for my car
it makes shifting sooo smooottthh
shaved and cleaned up the front to make roomfor the FMIC
bought paint for that today so the whole bumper will look freshhhh
