Hello everyone.
I've been a member on here for a while, just browsing and learning. Probably the 10th forums I've signed up for. I acquired this car in a partial trade, getting rid of my motorcycle as I've grown tired of people not watching on the road for bikes.
I started out being a huge car audio enthusiast which eventually developed into a love for anything involving a vehicle, I've rebuilt one bike from the ground up, carbs on a few others.
Any way, it's an 85, 6mge, 5m intake with EGR and ECU. After about a month I ran into problems with the thermostat. Locked up, limped it home, replaced it and a line but developed an oil consumption issue which gained a rod knock. I'm assuming a spun bearing somewhere but I'll find out when I get into the block.
I was planning on going forged, boosting and megasquirt, but as that is a little out of my budget right now the build will consist of the following:
Depending on damage...
Main/rod bearings
New piston rings
New pistons (depending on cylinder wear..)
NGK plugs
NGK plug wires
Rabid chimp Cold air
Raptor racing faramic clutch
S3 short shifter
SS brake lines
SS clutch lines
Momo steering wheel and hub adapter
ARP head studs
EGR block of plates
Full bushing set
K-mac Camber caster plates (if budget permits)
AGX setup (if budget permits)
Ground control coilover kit
dobinson rear drop springs
Roll center adjusters
Electric fan conversion
New steering rack
Rear camber mod (maybe..)
LED turns/reverse/break lights
Some of that list is possibilities...it just depends on how much of my budget goes to the motor...
Multimedia (This is where it gets fun seeing as I'm a car audio installer)
Kenwood KDC-543u headunit (front, rear, sub output. Auxilary and USB input)
Eclipse SP-5000 components (front)
Eclipse SP-6500 components (rear)
Sundown sax 100.4 4 channel (b revision)(Will be running a passive setup)
Knukonceptz 4 Channel 6 shielded RCA's
Some plastic's wrapped in blue vinyl
Fiberglass door pods to accommodate 5.25" components
Crimestopper sp-600 2-way paging alarm/keyless entry/remote start
Omega window control modules (up, and down function)
Might do another window control module for the sunroof
POSSIBLE carputer, just depends if I can find a monitor I like to fit the car. I have a left over carputer from my last audio car which consists of a Intel DJ41MJ micro ITX motherboard Intel core 2 duo processor, 4gigs of ram, 80gb HDD, USB wireless card, Microsoft ARC wireless keyboard and mouse and an OPUS 250w DC-DC vehicle intelligent power supply
Pics.
Day of purchase at the insurance company
Stripping inside
Since the last pic the headlights, fog lights, corner markers, grill, intake/MAF, mechanical fan, and some other bits and pieces have been taken off. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the car on stands and drain the radiator and pull it along with the hoses and start disassembling the intake, and get all the accessories off the front of the motor.
