Whelp, got her last night and registered today. I haven't thought of a name yet...but within the next couple of months, she is going to eventually be known as the beast.

Here are the pics of her as she stands now:








I have the rear interior sitting at my house, along w/ an Autometer 5" Tach, shift light, and my GSR alloys. I am heading down to get a new front bumper (From a CRX Si, if it will fit). My question now is, Should I:

A. Booooooooosssssssssttttttt. Greddy kit, IC, BOV, now.
B. New body/paint job. Maaco paint job...drivers side 1/4panel has scrape, along with misc dents/dings and the moulding is warped. Along w/ fixing the front. Quote of $1000-$1200 for whole thing sanded, front end repaired, all dents taken out and body straightened...and repainted black/blue 2 stage/CC.
C. Fix front end now. Leave 1/4panel kind of scraped, leave little dents...and BOOOOOOOSSSSSSTTTTTT

 

BTW. I have about $2200-$2500 to do whatever on the car...So keep that in mind.

 

you made it sound like the front was real bad,it dont look that bad at all! what the hell radiator is that! paint the red behind the drivers side seat.as long as your happy with it who gives a **** what everyone else thinks.any way are you going to do any thing today?

oh i like the 69 on the rad cap!! hehe

I would fix up the interior and body first and get some new seats. Then if I had some left over money work on the boost.

It looks like you have a good base to work with

 

More Body Pics:






I have seats (LANDRY!!!!!!!, WHERE ARE MY F*ING SEATS AND DOOR PANELS!!!??? ). The interior should be in pretty good shape by Sat/Sun. I am getting seats and DP's from 4g, and the rear carpet is going in tonight. The exterior is my main concern tho...

Boost... Then look for a new chassis. I honestly mean 0% offense by this, but that chassis isn't really worth sinking money in to. The car has obviously had a rear quarter on it, and now its wrecked in the front. I say build the motor, make it fast and don't sink any cash in to a body in that condition.

Just my 2 cents. I hope that doesn't come off like I'm trying to disrespect your new ride at all. I'm just thinking of the long term.


**** Edit... I guess I was wrong about the quarter. It sounds like it was originally red, then silver, then black?!?!? or at least had some stuff painted silver over the red.

I still stand by going with the boost first. Assess if the car is worth fixing after that!!

I once again apolagize for the fender bender... But BOOST! Make it so the head light sits straight and spend the rest on BOOST!

 

hehe.. people have spoken, bring it to the shop and take it back boosted

 

STUPID QUESTION!!! Boost it!!!! you think your exterior looks bad? You havent seen nothing till you see mine...and boost was my first choice

 

boost the bitch...screw the chassis.

 

ROOOOOFLLLL.

K Guys, due to popular opinion...I am doing this:

1. I got a new bumper today. $40, brand new. Going ot take out the filler piece for now and put the old bumper back on so the paint will match. New filler piece coming Monday ($30). Put those on, bend back out the hood and light...and that's it for the exterior.
2. In the process of reassembling the entire rear interior. 2 panels in, couple more to go. Will post pics in about an hour.
3. GSR alloys, to fend off from looking at the body, and more at the wheels.
4. Come back on H-T and look for used Turbo kits (ANYONE??? HALLO< SOMEONE SELL ME A FREAKIN TURBO KIT!!!)

were gona have to lineup sometime to see how it runs...

 

your z6 aint gone nuthin

Skunk, yeah, I'll IM you. I got real busy w/ trying to sell the CRX, and finally just got rid of it. The kid didn't care if it was busted or not.

What all u got over there, and u got any turbo/zc parts?

jB

 

Dayum! You have the day off or something? It didnt look like that last night! It looks really good. That nterior makes a diffrence! Now you gotta get the front fixed a little, the seats, door panels, and BOOST! We gotta meet up when I get the EK put back together.

 

Holy busted inner CV boot Batman...

Looks like tomorrow is devoted to cleaning out the inside of this CV, packing it, and putting a new boot on.

I got of at like 11 from work today (Man, my stomach is really feeling bad Ryan..I need to go home. Go ahead, Jr... Spent all day going to j/yards. Picked up a new bumper and ordered a new filler piece. Going to have BJ (The guy in the black 1g CRX) spray it for me before we put it on)

I need SEATS. 4g just flaked on me, so I need those still...and if he flakes out on the door panels I'll need those too...

ANYONE?

jB

 

i would of kept it gutted... skunk2ner waht car do you drive what area do you live in???

 

who did u sell ur rex too? u think it will be ok?

so hows the zc compared to the b16 rex? sluggish?

 

damn, alot more central FL people in here than i thought...

 

A guy in Orlando, FL. He's going totally JDM w/ it, so I think it's going to ok.

It actually doesn't seem that much slower. It seems to have more low end torque which I like, and is almost as fast as the B16 in the top end. I shift at 7200, but it pulls all the way there.

I'm not worried about that though, hopefully will be boosting by next Friday.

u better let me drive that car foo...... if you and your friends do the turbo but you want it fine tuned my friend can tune it with a wideband but of course its gona cost $$$ but you will be sure to run good af mixture....

 

Yeah, I'm probably going to have him do it. I have some DSM injectors and a VAFC lined up, so I might need him to do that too. Along with that perdy MSD of yerz, this thing might be 1/2 decent after all

jB

 

dude, VAFC?

 

Yeah, I'm getting it cheap so why the hell not . I know I don't have VTEC, but the freaking VAFC is nice. If I don't get this one, then it'll just be a SAFC for the turbo/fuel...
