Here is my project car.
I will post more picture and how-to later.
First, when I bought the car 3 years ago. Good looking but found some usual neglected maintenance...
Not bad at first:
Then, I started upgrades (I'm a big fan of Lindsey Racing stuff, very helpful people and prompt response to questions)
The MAF:
The A/C Delete:
Then, the fun begins; while changing the oil, this happened
What the heck is coolant doing there?!?!? Well, this means the oil cooler gasket is leaking and all the o-rings need to be changed. I'll explain later on this. I installed a Lindsey Racing oil cooler X3+ radiator.
Than, I found that the pre-owner did not tell me that he hit something on the right side... I found a bended tie rod and a damaged oil pan heat sink ( I had to change the oil pan gasket anyway...)
Used oil pan gasket, normal wear done by exhaust manifold:
Changing this must be the longest task to do... I'll explain later.
Before the BIG job:
After the BIG job with a new crossmember ( 3 pieces, easy to remove the oil pan with this)
Notice the new engine mounts available here
This is the limit of picture... (10 max) I'll upload more later..
Seeya!
