![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I just wanted to show everybody what Ive been working on for the last year. A lot of people were wondering what happened to this car, what happened was I bought it in oct. 2006, and yes it was the one on ebay. I checked it all out and it needed some engine help. So I took the engine apart and rebuilt it. The rings were really bad and the cyl. walls had some scoring but nothing some honing couldn't fix. Pistons were ok, crank was ok, the rods were good, the bearings had some wear marks in them (replaced them) and plasti gaged them they where all good. Oil pump was really bad (replaced it), all I can say is that after looking at the cyl. walls, oil pump, and bearings that the last person did a really bad job of rebuilding it. It looked like they never cleaned it before they put it together. Put a new water pump in and timing belt and everything else that goes along with a tune up except wires they were still good. I also rebuilt the turbo the shaft had way to much play. I took apart the fuel cell and cleaned it out and resealed it. I put the motor back in on Sat. and started it up and it runs great. Then I noticed a small problem with the electrical system the power would come and go so I checked the main power switch and its bad, new switch is on order. The needle on the tach also fell off so I glued it back on. I know I'm forgetting things that I did but I cant remember, It has been a year that I've been working on it. |

Two questions:
1) What size tires? 2) How much is it lowered, or, what is the ride height? I very much like the wheel size/spacing, and I'm curious how that was achieved. Again, it is nice to see it back in the community. Good job! |
