Brand new to StanceWorks but this is where my project belongs.
Just bought this car for 2G's back in October, this is what the car came with when i bought her:
b16a with 155 000 kms
Jdm S1 transmission
DC sports ceramic 4-2-1 header
Spoon lightweight flywheel.
AEM Cold air intake.
14 inch high flow slimfan, held in place with a zap strap...
T1R stainless steel muffler with titanium tip (Comes with bolt-in silencer)
Stock dc shocks (more piston diameter than a DA)
lowered on H+R springs
Suspension techniques 19mm rear sway bar
15x6 Integra mesh wheels, In rough shape!...
HAWK HP brake pads up front and
HAWK HPS brake pads in the rear
Full energy suspension Eurethayne bushing kit
ES motor mount inserts and shift stabilizers
The battery has been ported into the hatch, securely mounted in a Moroso battery box.
Alpine Type-S speakers in rear
JBL 6.5 inch coaxial speakers in doors.
Nitro LCD pager alarm.
White face gauges.
Yuki looked like this when i got her:
the bad on the car goes like this:
-was in front end accident which broke mounting tabs on the headlights
-needed CV shaft and inner and outer boots on driver side
-needed serpentine belt
-exhaust was broken
-needed thermostat
-no block heater
-short in rear defrost grid
-watered down coolant
-tires needed balancing
-drivers seat belt wouldn't retract
-oil leak out of distributor O ring, needs new distributor
-needs TPS sensor, getting a code 7...
-needs valve adj and full intake/injector servicing
-needs full motor vac and flush due to coking
-none of the vac hoses (blue ones) were not crimped and just simply fell off often
-its hesitating at roughly 4000rpm
-motor vibration at 3000 rpm
-pager alarm is finicky and needs some professional adjusting
-paint is flaking off the rims
-paint is cracking on the roof and on the bumpers due to lack of flex agent in previous paint job
-small amount of rust starting on rear wheel wells
-car was broken into a million times and thieves broke the window guides, as well as chipped all the paint around both door handles, and broke the drivers door handle on the inside and the outside and the drivers door handle would almost come off in your hand when you opened it from the outside
-deck was stolen
-front little lip under the bumper was painted the wrong shade of white and looked like garbage so that's what i did with it... threw it away.
-drivers wheel well liner was missing
-the AEM cold air intake has no support and just kind of flops around under the hood
-the 14" slim fan is ZAPSTRAPPED to the rad in ONE place at the top which you can clearly see in the picture that im posting below.
With all this basic maintenance being needed I'm having the shop take care of these things before I get on to the other obvious stuff it needs:
-door handle (done)
-windows (done)
-serpentine belt (done)
-rad flush and coolant added (done)
-exhaust pipe (done)
-cv shaft and boots (done)
-drivers seat belt (done)
-headlights (temporarily done...)
-defrost grid (done)
-thermostat (done)
-balance tires (done when I got winters put on)
Now im in University right now so i don't have much money and being as far north as I am the weather is quite often like this:
so working on the car this winter has been more then a hassle and to be honest not much got done. But with summer on its way I should be able to get some real work done!
Im pretty new at this so I am looking forward to as much feed back as I can get!
