A hell of a project car
I just bought this car a week ago for $250. All it needed was a clutch so I dropped one in and took it for a test drive. WOW. With 140k miles, it still hauled ***. After I raced my friends Eclipse, and winning I may add, he told me that I was blowing smoke. So, what the hell, i'll rebuid it. I just pulled the motor yesterday and broke it apart. Damn those pistons. They wobbled horribly. So, got some 12:1 CR pistons on the way, a body kit, brakes, suspension, I got everything coming. Just one thing, does anybody know where I can get my pistons coated??

Its because i got some HR pistons for pretty much nothing. I have everything else. I've got my own machine shop (i just don't trust it for pistons) so I can build whatever i want. I have spent around the $1000 so far and with the parts I have and it should produce a little more than 300 rwhp. IO can't do a SR20 swap for atleast $2000, and for only 205 hp. Hmmmm............300hp for 1000 or 200hp for 2000.

That'll be cool man. You hang out around the lot any times (rt 208)??? I'm an assistant Manager at the Domino's in Locust Grove. Stop buy if you get a chance. You can see my 240 in a couple of weeks (still waiting for the damn pistons). So in the mean time, I've been porting the hell out of the head, heh heh.
Cya around man. Just go to StarBuck's, I'm usually there
