SORRY FOR THE BIG PICS!!

This is when i bought it a few weeks ago, she is still messy but Im so excited to get it running and get it back to stock look!








i went to the junk yard and autozone this weekend and got a few things




needed new clutch





Needed a flywheel after the clutch spring went on a killing spree




FLYWHEEL BOLTS damnn


new gas door


CRAFTSMAN kind'a guy


New master cylinder


The head was real clean for having 200k+


Head Gasket rip off



Block


Sorry for the pics being so big, but my plans are to make it run perfect for a bit, then the body work is coming VERY SOON, i will have a SICK suspension soon enough and i will do some small head swap to make it vtec, then I want some nice 15z!!!

 

good start

dont forget to convert that bish to mpfi

 

im only getting it to drive for right now, then i will do either a head or complete swap, my buddy might be doing something with his si, so I might get the MPFI set.

 

That MC is new?

Have you used the Duralast clutch before? How does it compare to stock? How is the warranty on the clutch?

 

The valve train looks like it belongs back in the bronze age lol. What kind of pad did you use to remove the gasket off the head? Looks like some good progress

 

ya the MC is new, i put it on the took it off, and back on again, I never used duralast but its a limited lifetime, and a few of my friends say they work just fine, $150 for clutch kit and $65 for brand new oem flywheel.

 

Not bad! I remember buying an OEM clutch one for my wife's old car but surprisingly it was a little bit less than $200.

Good luck with the project!

 

Im not sure the type, my step dad has them, but when i get back to the house i will see, they are like a soft semi stiff cleaning pad, works GREAT.

 

I hope to get it on the road sunday, i need to get all new ball joints, tie rods pads rotors, i just need to put the intake and exhaust mannifolds on, dizzy..sensors...bumper and hopefully should be good for the time being, but I so want this 4 door to be a BIG project!

i will put more pics up when i get sum more done.

 

Looking better man, good progress.

 

Thanks bro, some how i seem to know that u had something to do with 90% of the process, HAHAHA, tiss tru... CHOKE ON THAT BABAA!! shooter...

 

bit of advise, buy a head gasket for a z6 or a y8. will save you time and energy in the long run. the graphite ones SUCK. i'm currently using a y8 h/g on my d15b1 and i've had no problems with the gasket.

car looks NICE, i've kind of grown a soft spot for the chocolate brown interior.

 

How much did you get the car for? coming along great

 

I got it for $580, it started but it didnt go into gear. i just need to get some ball joints put on it 2morrow and it should be driving.

 

good advice, im only using this gasket for a few... i plan on getting a vtec head for it shortly and then i shall get a diff head gasket.

whats wrong with the graphite ones, if u dont mind me asking. Weak?

 

nice pick up...btw amazon has the exedy oem clutch kit for $100 shipped also that i picked up a couple months ago...!!!

 

Yikes... if you go metal head gasket, be sure to check the head and the block and make sure they are straight. If they are not, then get them milled... or just go with the stock gasket.

 

Not only that but eGay has lightened flywheel and clutch set for around $200...

 

if i get the car running 2morrow, then next weekend I should be starting sum bondo/body work. I cant wait for that.

 

i replaced my head gasket with another graphite one, and i ended up having to do it again later because the gasket never sealed properly and was burning gas oil and coolant. but i believe that is because i was missing the dowel pins.

i find that the metal head gaskets are easyer to work with, plus they are re usable. you don't have the massive dirty clean up to worry about with them, unlike the graphite gaskets

 

yeah bro doing good work i am glad......

 

Good Job Bro

 

Good work, keep it up!

 

Thanks guys, Today me and my brother did sum more work on the 4door, put new balljoints in and re connected everything, oil, plugs and wires went in, and when we had everything ready to start it up... we ran into a small problem with... we think is some wires leading to the dizzy, when i went to crank it over it would make a loud BUZZING noise and the check engine light came on, but if my bro would tweak the wires around the noise would stop, but we lost day light and he is going to see what it is in the morning, ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
