My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

Did you have the head checked out by a machine shop or anything or did you just throw a head "refresh" kit at it and call it good?

Trying to decide what route I want to take. Cost VS. Longevity/Reliability is killing me. I don't want to spend a lot because i'm going to beat the car up on the track but at the same time I don't want it to explode after one lap. Thoughts and opinions? Great build dude!

I didn't have the head checked, because it was my own still and I knew it was fine...but yes, just a head refresh kit, seals, gaskets, etc.

I would go somewhere in between, these m20's are strong, inspect everything, if its questionable, change it. unless you like breaking down, especially if its a dedicated track car.

I'm on a low budget, I just came up on lots of great deals, just dont forget about maintenance.
I'd recommend take your budget and split it in half. half for maintenance things and other half for "new upgrades". And of course, upgrade while changing is my philosophy.

So, I keep getting a Code 1211 from the stomp test., the CEL is not on, but that's what code pops up. It says to replace the DME, I did the shut off, thirty seconds etc, several times, and it continues to come back. Car runs great tho.

So I did my first Auto X, and man, was that fun, too bad my car didn't make it. On my last run, my car started to get hot, and some coolant started peeing out the overflow (temps didnt get past 3/4 on the gauge tho thankfully). I let it cool off and later found I lost my belt for the alternator, which also drives the water pump, So I drove to the nearest kragen (keeping a close eye on temps) and bought a new belt, and when i attempted to do it in the parking lot, my dad Power steering pulley tensioner bolt was stripped, so I couldnt take off the PS belt in order to get the alternator belt on. So I had to snip the PS belt to install new belt, and i was back home safely but now have no Power steering. But Steve (BluntTech) will take care of me. So not a complete fail ahah.

Someone at the auto x was kind enough to take pics of everyone, so heres some of mine :)
Also my first rolling shots I've seen of my car.











And a video of one of my runs.

Got a package from Ireland engineering....should be going in soon, trying to get my
Car smoked tested to find a vacuum leak.
Replacing the clutch fan with an e-fan, and changing all 20 year old hoses with 3 layer silicon hoses.

Also working on a heat shield for my MAF air filter, going to do the throttle body coolant bypass as well. Then I'm going to do another hour of tuning on the dyno. Hoping to get 170whp

My car is finally a late model!!! Kinda.


And after rear bumper swap...

Tucked back away...

Also installed a Bass Knob in my center console, used a dremel to cut out a slot for it. Ill get a pic later.

Rolling Shots! Was on my way to Marina Auto X with a friend, so we took the opportunity to snap some pics of each other.

Woohoo! Finally you have plastic bumpers all around. I love your car.

[88SuperETABD]

Woohoo! Finally you have plastic bumpers all around. I love your car.

Thanks I like yours too, I wish I was as ballsy as you to turbo my 327 :)

[EREKSHUN]

I'm actually not sure...i agree...i like it without it...but then again...i like it with it too...its prob gonna stay off for a long time cuz i dont wanna pay to get it painted...I got other things to fix :)

i also bought a trunk with the spoiler and never installed it. looks way fresher with the flush trunk lid.

[88SuperETABD]

yeah, all though seeing all the cool flaps/wings at the auto X makes me want something :) haha. But it will probably stay clean.
