My brother (black) and I (blue) finally got our cars fixed up, some really extensive work but they’re finally on the road! We haven’t cruised together in so long and today was the first day. Life is finally becoming enjoyable again
They look amazing until your a few feet away, but it’s on an 800 dollar car so it’s more than enough
I have steelies and hubcaps for a winter set and got aluminum for summer
THE CENTER CAPS ARE NEXT
Note: The ticking noise are the injectors
2003 GS 5 speed with 195k.
I rebuilt this for college because it was leaking oil everywhere and it felt underpowered. I had the engine bored .5mm over so now the bore size is 86.5mm.
I got most of my internal parts from DNJ. Rod and crank bearings, pistons and rings, and lifters. My oil pump housing was cracked so I ordered an ACL high flow oil pump from Jegs.
Everything measured good other than the piston clearance. I lapped the valves myself and used gaskets only from felpro.
And of course painted tons of parts to make it look prettier. But she feels so much better down the road.
Total cost for everything was about 1000 dollars! So worth it
2007 SE, my brother isn’t a mechanic but the guy who sold it thought the engine was blown, but the clutch relate bearing failed and the flywheel ate the clutch fork causing a racket, so I replaced everything in the clutch system and now she drives! 135k miles and purchased for 1500
