D-cheeze's 2001 gsr sedan .... Daily driver
Well after looking for a swap for my Del sol I came accoss a 2001 gsr sedan that was for sale ! Was supposed to be a donor car for my sol but the car is pretty clean and not beat up enough to pull the swap out of .... Made and offer to the original owner and we agreed if it passed smog Check it was a done deal .... Well it failed and we agreed to a better deal but I would be responsible for the smog
Here is when in got it ... It's a bit ruff but worth fixing !
Had 2 codes for vtec issue and evap issue

worked on the check engine light issues ...had evap leak ( hole from battery acid in charcoal can ) and vtec code ... Pull vtec solinoid , cleaned and replaced the gasket , install vtec pressure switch and oil change ... Cleared codes and went for a ride ... Light popped back on .. This time for misfire ... Swapped out plugs , wires and rotor ... Gonna put some miles on it tomorrow and go get new tires ...hoping light stays off and I can get it smog check done ! Wish me luck ...lol
As for the sol ... Next weekend I am gonna swap the suspension over to the gsr and take the wheels off and put it up for sale ...kinda bummed since I like it but I have to many cars (again) so somethins gotta go !

Good call on alarm. I swear cali needs to legalize the thief turret. Just a ed 209 looking turret chilling right on the roof. Nice progress bud.
