Nicks m50 swap and restoration project

[trackjunkie21]

you need a NV MAF right? I have an extra one, let me find it.

OK so I need a new MAF.. lol anyone have one I could buy?
I bled my coolant system, but i think I need a new temp sensor..When I turn the car on temp needle will pop up, but it wont go past the blue mark.. (m42 rad/14in IE fan)

Update..
Got my tubing!!!

it should be plenty, 2 five foot sections in the builders kit!

[dnick]

I'm lost here. So you didin't get the m52 from your friend? Cause the engine you have in there now looks like an m50.

OH yeahh lol i have an m50.. lol that m52 deal didnt fall through.. never updated it, but yeah the m50 was a better deal because it only has 61k on it :)

update!

SO things have changed ;) My friend is selling his m52 to me and I'll be swapping it to obd1! that swap will happen in a week to 2weeks. . ( He's waiting on some parts for his s52 that he got). In the meantime, I just ordered blunts suspension rebuild kit and new rotors/pads! Next will be lowering springs and shocks/struts. I was going to do a GC setup but thatll have to wait :(
got "new" wheels/tires and a rear lip thanks to ill4noreason. (those wheels cleaned up REAL nice!)

Ill make sure to update when parts arrive!

Took the old m20 out, It was pretty easy taking it out!

hmm i could...let me get the pics together. When i got the car, the rear wheel bearings were shot, also the shifter bushings were worn out, these two jobs were the hardest EVER!!! lol, my forearms hurt for days from the slide hammer and fingers swollen from the "bitch clip".

[dnick]

i got a drivers seat in great condition, panels, clips, driverside kick panel, grills, headlight covers, stock antenna...most of these were missing from my car or broken.

there you go! are you going to start a build thread or something?

Get exhaust piping from Summit if your gonna have a friend weld it up. Its like $14 for a 4 foot section of piping. Throw in a Turbo Muffler and a Glasspack (My set up) and it sounds pretty good. For wicked cheap too.

do you have a video of it??
