Default Daily Driver Project

So this is my '92 GS, paid $1800 for the car, haven't put much more into it yet, it's a daily driver that gets me to work, but it's also a project. I have alot of hope and aspiration for the car, so we'll see what happens. Just wanna post up pics as I go and get peoples opinions.

Present day:








Thus far all I've done is alot of cleaning, painted the wheels black because the original finish was really terrible looking, fixed the driver's side window (Both slides were broken) and fixed a few other minor problems.

I ordered a short ram intake, and a new steering wheel for it so far. Plan to leave it pretty stock looking, re-paint it black, and accent some things in red, such as the steering wheel, shift **** etc...

Car has 220k on it, the motor thank god has 85k.

b18a with a gsr tranny and some type of aftermarket clutch.

It needs alot of work, and I'm up for it, thanks for looking.

Steve

I want to keep the factory Seats in the car and have them re-upholstered, not sure on the cost for that though, they're so very very comfortable.

Ahh, my first experience with modding cars was my 92 Captive GS. I fookin loved that car. The car was maintained very well, at the Acura dealership its whole life. I never really had any problems with it that weren't the result of my ignorance or carelessness. I regret letting it go to get my EJ8; I bet that car would still be running strong to this day. I did a comp. test at 125k miles, and with three cranks it put out 149-150-151-149

So, I got a couple of things last week hurray!




I'm so happy with this car. Had to get a tire replaced last week because of a bubble on the inside of one of mine.

Thinking about exhaust next, that's the most logical step correct? I'm not looking to make the car all that fast with this motor.

Get some suspension next, good luck tryin to leave a DA stock but not in a sense of ricing it out, i hate when i see hella big spoilers and body kits with taxi cab orange ahahha.When i did my exhaust i did 2.25 piping with a magnaflow turbo muffler and had every thing set like it was a stock exhaust, was nice and quiet, i think its better to hear that throaty tone of the intake then an exhaust screaming out the *** of your car, the only time it got loud was when i took it into high rpms, i dont want to talk vtec this and that but that was why i heard it out the exhaust, but a deep manly tone from the intake is better than a high pitch noise from the back.and put the stock intake housing but leave the pipe on and get a K&N filter, thats what makes it sound sexy.my .02 from personal times.

You need to clean your car. Do you not have a radio?




You should clean the engine bay.

What's up with the red wire?
