I've gotten another car to play with. I'd been planning on branching out from my dodge addiction and getting a civic hatch to toy with, but this car came along and I couldn't resist. This won't interest alot of you since this is a honda forum, but a car's a car. This project's a 91 dodge spirit. Came factory turbo with a 5 speed, with an aftermarket fmic installed. Mostly at the moment i'm running around fixing all the Pos f ups. I have it running at 14 psi at the moment, but I like to stay out of the boost until it's back in top shape. Other mods include a bobble strut, full 2.5 in exhaust, adjustable fpr, and a horribly mounted wrx hood scoop, and a 30 dollar ebay lebra i removed the first week I owned the car. Not my thing really.
When I got her she running a little rough. It was tuned rediculously rich. I turned the fuel pressure down alot and i'm very pleased with the results. I've lost a little top end power, but it beats it running in total flood conditions. I (sort of) installed a Hks rfl blow off valve. My dad has a friend at the shop who welded the flange on for me since i don't have any experience welding. He did a fantastic job I think.
I'm only driving it when necessary at the moment as it has a leaking head gasket. But i have a new gasket, and heavy duty bolts on the way. Upon pulling an intake pipe I couldn't help but notice there's some oil getting into the intake from the turbo, so I took it upon myself to order a rebuilt Garrett T3 turbo for it, along with full stainless oil/coolant feed/return lines for it.
Other than that i've fixed little things like new horns, replaced some burnt/frayed wires, and hooked up an a/f gauge and did some tuning. It's running great despite everything. I've had some fun in the car. By july I should have it running smoothly at 18 psi. Anyway on to the pics. For all you photography buffs i took the attached photos with a Canon Rebel T2 film slr. If anyone's in the cincinnati area and can supply film and whatnot I'd be happy to give your car a "professional" photoshoot
one last art shot
a picture I took that has absolutely nothing to do with the car
Then these with my mom's Kodak digital. Not a terrible camera. I just prefer film whenever I can afford it.
I replaced the shitty blown pioneer cassette deck with a more correct looking one. Analog ftw
Mandatory engine shot
