CrJdMc's 87 IS Build

[jaywood]

Also, that looks like an eBay manifold...let us know how it fits. Mine had big time issues fitting with the stock oil filter housing.

Jay I've used the smaller filter from a m42 (I think, forgot exactly) with no bad effects. Also I have a filter from my mopar that's wider but shorter which I'm almost sure would fit as well but I now run a relocation setup.

That's the "CXRacing" manifold, right? Their website says they fixed the oil filter problem, but who knows. Is there a better wastegate solution than the one in the picture? That doesn't look good coming off just one runner.

Not trying to hijack BTW. This info might be useful to the OP.

Awesome thread, guys keep in mind he is 15 years old... 5 years older than a 10 year old puts it in perspective. I wish you the best of luck and keep posting progress of your turbo build - I'm very interested.

[CrJdMc]

i really hate to flake on the whole turbo stuff, but i had to sell it all, but i did do this to the car,
So the time is here, I worked on the car today,
to start out,
Jacked her up


Cleaned up trim.

Dat paint.

:afro

running the ram air intake.

she cleaned up real nice.


yo gurl

Comparison,

front done.

and rear done.

i think this looks mean as hell, like no trim and all. RACEKOR

back together.

"modding" up some stuff for the ram air intake do its not just a hose there.


and i dont have a end pic of the ram air, but its all together, and for good measure, heres the car again.


and im going to try to change the name now, since i no longer have the turbo stuff.

[TimKninja]

Wow i Really like that drop!
What kind of springs are those?

Just need a new muffler now!!

[CrJdMc]

I fully agree about the muffler! and to be honest im not sure about the springs. My friend gave them to me when i got the car. i will get the name though.

[TheTacoMan]

Get rid of the fart cannon!! Also is that over spray where you painted the kindney grill?:hitler:

Looks like your off to good start, remember research is your best friend.

[CrJdMc]

Yessir! thanks for the great advice from everyone, and there may be a tad overspray.. it will be fixed soon.

[CrJdMc]

So no "good" update per-say but i got some free fenders from my friend,



I began to try to flare them.

Finally got them flared.

Ohh, and i got some eyebrows, some people dont like them, but i like the way they look on the car.

Thats all.


Next ill bondo the fenders, and sand them down real good and primer them. And I plan on wet sanding the eyebrows and respraying them black, i just need to get some money for spray paint/ bondo is all.

[CrJdMc]

So i have a little update. I got some new parts.

My NRG hub. *


The new short shifter with a weighted knob, *its a little blurry, *mehh


Another Little Teaser.




and..


And I was away for a while, and i finally was able to work on the car a tad. This is all i got done today, i was rather surprised to how easy this was.
(these pics will be crappy iphone pics, so sorry in advance.)
Hub on.


Steering wheel on

[BROKINBIMMER]

Nice car, looks great with the drop. Also, really cool steering wheel, but why did you destroy the fenders??

[CrJdMc]

those are spare fenders homie.

[Brilliantrot 318is]

I don't know what to make of this "build" but will see what happens I guess.

[CrJdMc]

Yeah I guess so.
