Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g

So that's all the pictures for now. It will probably be a while till I work on it again since I have to go up to my Parent's place where I actually have space to work and a place to store the car. God I want a fuckin house.



Anyways, the plan is this:

-Next time I get to work on it, pressure wash the engine bay and the rest of the car and get the engine on a hoist so I can tear into it and see what kind of damage I'm dealing with.

-Hope there is not a hole in the #1 piston. If there is, 2g pistons 1g rods it is.

-Get 2g head cleaned up, new valve seals, get head bolt holes drilled out for 1g size bolts, all that crap.

-Send throttle body out to fix my fuckup. I got some WORKS high pressure throttle body seals for it, then broke a damn throttle plate screw taking it apart. Probably send it it to throttlebodies.com or Tim Zimmer

-Get 2g coil pack and 2g power transistor for the 2g head setup.

-New radiator. Thinking of a honda half radiator to save some weight.

-Get car running N/A, work out any kinks, then work on getting a turbo on it. I would eventually like it to be as stock appearing as possible.

-KEEP IT FUN AND KEEP IT CHEAP!!


Also, I picked up a built trans for it tonight for $250. BM/Turbotrix, Hughes used to have it, and I think maybe Brian/1QUICK4? I bought it from Andrew7dg, he gave me a hell of a deal on it.
