i thought i would throw some pics up of what ive been working on over the last week of my vacation and the sad thing is i only got half of what i wanted to do done do to countless hours driving all over ohio getting parts. i know the swap looks half a$$ed but due to the beautiful weather(snow every other day) i didn't get to do any cleaning of the engine or car. it was mostly an attempt to get the car running after sitting for 2-3 months. comments appreciated.

Damn, its sad to see another ld9 owner switching to the eco But very nice looking car, just my kinda taste; simply done and indigo haha.

I would ask how it feels compared to the 2.4 but it looks like you wont have a chance to do some good driving for a while lol. Good job on the swap.

Nice work looks like fun. I really like those WHEELS!!!

Good deal bro! Have fun with that new motor.

awesome!..clean car..cant wait to see future mods!

Damn man, nice job.. Should of cleaned that ish before dripping it in

Could you by chance weigh one of those wheels for me?

i didn't really want to give up the 2.4 but cost difference and time to get the 2.4 fixed out weighed the swap price.

thanks, yeah i did get the hard spots before i droped it in there. i'll get one of those weighed i think there close to stock weight tho.

Nice now i am getting ansy to get my project done.

sorry lol

so you got the 02 instead of the 03.

engine year??? its out of an 04 sunfire tranny is out of an 04 cavy

Is there a benefit from one year to the other with the eco's?

Looks great but im sure that is a 02 fuel rail you got there. The 02's actually had the better pistons and a better computer setup over the 03-05 ecos.

not real sure since i'm not real familular with the eco setups. but according to the yard i got it from its out of an 04 sunfire. seen the car was a sunfire 4 door but don't have a clue on the year. front end was missing.

^^^03+rail.^^^
when you change fuel lines change the rail and injectors.

i will do thanks

well at least you bought a clutch i have to wait on mine. Stock for now. But i have other things to make up for it.

Nice Job

hey you cheated you have air tools.

just wondering what made you use the 02 rail when you had the 03-05 rail on there... did you not swap the lines yet..
but nice looking swap man and nice looking sar with everyone else love the wheels.
