Nice car.

 

[719prottege]

thanks dino, that means a lot comming from you. your car is sick! i have a long way to go...

 

[719prottege]

going to the junkyard tomorrow to get a new engine... been thinking about what to do with the engine bay when i pull the stocker, and i think i have a plan...
deep dark purple engine bay.
slight wire tuck.
all the other things i mentioned to the bay before
bronze valve cover
stainless/bronze dress up hardware.

thats all i can think of right now. i really want to get this thing to where i like how it looks. trunk lid with no spoiler coming soon too

 

[719prottege]

well... went to the junkyard today...
NO ENGINE!
i did however get a wingless trunk, rattle canned it black, and put it on. the trunk lines up so much better, and now it actually opens with the inside lever.
looks like i will be riding with a spun bearing untill i can get something figured out... closest used block is in utah for 2400... im just gonna spend that on a built block from pmp.
heres my new trunk. the whole car will get sprayed soon

came up with a solution to having to rush to get a motor...
bought an E30!
91 318is! i will daily that for now and drift it in the near future. now i can take my engine out of the slotege

 

[thecrash91]

[719prottege]

i got the e30 for $400 and it runs well and everything works perfectly, so im not complaining. drift car later this summer. how much are you asking for your car?

 

[719prottege]

[thecrash91]

[Sleezer1533]

[719prottege]

[719prottege]

oh, almost forgot... i have a few questions too..
i broke the little black 90 degree plastic thing that goes from the fuel line to the fuel rail, anyone have a spare or know what that piece is called? also, i am going to remove my vtc/vics. i broke one of the sensors or whatever it is for it, can i just get rid of thsoe completely?
