My $300 winter project

[4ce30]

Wow that car has really gone downhill since the last time I saw it in HS. Glad to see its in good hands now. 24v turbo!

That's what i said!!! I'm just glad it's finally in my hands and not sitting in the rain forest..We'll see what engine i throw in here or if i opt for re-build boosting the M10 and do it right this time! Nothing much going on though until i get back from AK next summer!! then time for me to drift! Stoked for that...

yeah well turbo does things like turn worthless boat anchors into street demons, why do you think so many people are into Honda's?

I remember you telling me about this good to see that its finally seeing some action. I can't believe you are taking it to SMS after all the shit that's happened with you, josh, and Blake. I am in town and bored if you ever need a hand with diag or just somebody to turn a wrench...

Soo many people are into hondas because they are cheap, and re-act exceptionally well to boost and the Vtec/heads are monsters for flow!

I didnt take it to SMS it ended up there on monday and i drove by and said WTF, found out Josh Solomon had it for some fucking reason soo i bought it from him.. The only thing i used SMS for was a tow strap .. The motherfucker was telling me he would look at it and me to pay him.. what a clown, not a friend anymore for sure! You'll have to give me a call on that new cell because i got a new one and noo numbers..

First problem? Horrid? Come on guy the M10 is one of the most amazing engines... ever seen the m10 based F1 cars making over 1000 hp? Plus i already have 2 go-fast vehicles and one SUV i could care less about going fast in this car for now;)

A few updates.... Found a few parts i need to replace, AFM, and idle control valve... or atleast im coming to the conclusion, the idle control valve has something moving around in it and the AFM is nasty looking.. Also cleaned the fuck out of the trunk.. it was nasty and there was about 3 glasses worth of water held up in the rear driverside, stripped the rest of the interior and im on to cleaning sunday!

it looks like your car used to be a swamp dragster. Both of my sunroof drains were detached at it rained hard for three day right when i bought my car. Did not notice till i installed my stereo a few weeks later. You likey me bumper support?

[oldskool3]

Good find for sure. I had an m10 powered e21 and it was ridiculous slow but they are great engines at heart. IMO you should swap to diving boards, I really hate those bmp bumpers.

Ya the car was out in the fucking rain forest.. ridiculously i could have gotten it a year ago but for some reason i had to wait this long and let some rust settle in and some seals to be eating through.. I am defiently digging your supporter!

Ya i dont mind having less power i have the 325is and an R6 to satisfy my speed needs... I don't think i'll be going through all the trouble to put ugly ass diving boars back on...God how i hate diving boards soooooo much.

I'll post a few updates by tomorrow, possible today...

A little update...started on the rust spots, also painted lower valance soo you cant see white behind the bumper






Pretty clean, just needs vacuum


Nasty under the Valve Cover!


Valence


What's under all the moss and dirt




I got a new Idle control valve put it in and the car ran for about 20 seconds then died and wouldnt start for more than a couple then on... I'm going to do a compression test next soo we'll see how that goes...
