Alrighty then, here is an update: Replaced the head K&N filter new timing belt and Aux. belt lighter underdrive pulley with 50% pull a bunch of new sensors coilovers 17" Tenzo R wheels with 4 mismatched tires for now Tokico HP struts in the front (still blown in the back, but that will change next week ) Mitsubishi Cordia seat custom installed by Steve da man! Autometer coolant temp gauge (lifesaver!) Random shiny shift knob Tracer clear corner lights tinted rear amber lights restored paint job painted trim I think that's it for now, still have a TON of little stuff to do, including replacing the front bumper and painting the front and rear bumpers gloss black. As for the engine, I'm going to port and polish the head, and then get it ready for boost! (it needs it, this thing with WAY too slow!) Meh car taking a piss (or a good coolant flush). OOOOOoooo....shiny roof, looks nice without the roof rack, easier to polish! Nice and slammed! Potential? Or lost cause? Killer Mitsubishi seats, AKA, the best darn seats ever made by man! Lite, but still slow as balls! Coolant temp gauge sitting pretty on the dash (even though I cut a big gaping hole in the dash because I was careless with the drill! LOL) PEACE!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Cordia Looks pretty clean dude, almost makes me wish I still had mine around while I mod the EGT.
The seats are out of a '87 Cordia, a rare little nothing car. The only thing the car had going for it was those seats! I truly think Honda copied those seats when they made them for the DC2. Thanks for the props! I feel like I've just started...there is SO much more to do, but I'll keep you posted!
Oh yeah, great engines! But I have plans for this one...oh yes... one step at a time but it's going to be nasty! Trust me
i'm interested in what you come up with. Since i swaped in my BP i've been kicking myself for not doing it sooner. LOL Hell I can't wait till i can turbo it. but yea your right, one step at a time. keep us posted.
btw, i threw my car on the scales the other day and, minus the spare and jack, it's like exactly 2200lbs. i know quite a few people have asked and you were one of them, so there you go haha
Oh my, I HAVE A 91 ESCORT LX WAGON! IT has the 1.9 SOHC so can i buy a mazda BP motor and motor swap it? it is a really major job?
unless you consider swapping out the engine, tranny, harness,axels,ecu no it just depends on how much work your willing to put into it. i love the tay she hauls. now can't wait till i can install a turbo on it
