on the road again
Posted: May 29th, 2005, 6:03 am
well, after three months of working the day job and then working on the car five hours a night, every night, the car is back on the road again. my friend and i stripped the car right down to nothing, just the rear axel and gas tank. then we repainted the engine a very bright white, all the other stuff got a nice shot of gloss black, suspension was sprayed blue. dropped the ze in, along with donor parts from a 92gs, which was a complete five speed swap (from a auto that the motor ripped apart), nice thing was this car also "had" ac. also put in alot of new parts. replaced the dropzone coilovers with suspension techniques lowering springs, i must say the dropzones rode alot nicer than these springs, the springs dont clunk like the coilovers did though. next thing is to instal the new pager alarm and stereo system, perks of selling the stuff. there is no interior in the car which will be cleaned fixed and then installed after the zero gauge power wire gets run. still got a few weeks to go on clean up, tuning etc. at least i am driving a summer car now not the winter beater tempo, get to go to a show and shine tommorrow as well. very late and has been a long ordeal. just want to thank my friend tyler and brother for helping me get this done. just got to do a swap of parts for a rs to gs, then put two other mx-3's back together.
