well since i got what i had to ship out .. done i thought i would come back and " hopefully set the past to the side" and show my engine rework to you guys .. what being done is a new block new head and up .. total rebuild/ replace
the damage .. the #2 cylinder has a chip oh top of the piston .. ouch ... i have a bit that i took off already .. still have a ways to go on it..
heres all the parts that were taken off so far
heres the chip in the piston ... ( not a crack but and actual chip)see if you can spot it
heres one with the bumper taken back off , dont wanna scratch a nice new bumper now do we
heres the bay
heres a b4 pics with the kit .. that was sold
and heres the new bumper .. oem z24 bumper with fogs
perfect... nows the time to get in there and shine up the engine bay. degreaser ftw! lol... looks good man, have fun with the project.
i love how your car looks. love the drop.. btw what exactly IS the drop? love the hood as well. very nice.
as for advise... i see tons of room for improvement, every part you have lying on the ground can be upgraded or made for the better
have your alternator powdercoated to a color you like (for your car i would say polished or black would look awesome) and if you have plans for a stereo-now is the time to have it beefed up or just buy a bigger alternator and love it
polish up or paint your idi cover
have head ported a little bit or just have it cleaned up and parts replaced like you mentioned already
secret cams
2.3 HO intake manifold and 56mm TB, or have yours bored out to 58mm
TTR upper and lower mounts

most parts lying on the ground are being replaced with new .. example .. head cams, even the block .. i will have more .. pics later if i get to it
as for drop it sits on ground controls ... and stock struts .. dont worry i bought the car like that .. stocker will be fitted with yellow after car is running ,,
i have 2.3 ho intake mani commin also ...
this is my car ... now .. i took the fenders bumper and lights out ... so i woulld damage them .. the corners will be painted
and i know someone is gonna ask about the bird in the back ground .. it belongs to a family in my apt building .. dont them know .. but it looks nice ..
