OK so i've procured some new stuff for the car. i ended up breaking the window visor off one side of the car trying to BREAK INTO the car after i locked the keys in it while it was in storage. and the battery went dead so i couldnt use my spare remote to unlock the car.
i picked up a 99 sedan, 1.5 5spd with a blown engine. decent shape and no rust for cheap. traded some of the OEM bodykit from the white car for a 1.8 longblock with 120K on it and purchased the things i need to swap it in (clutch kit, radiator hoses, all new seals except HG and starter). going to use the existing 1.5 engine harness, MAP, ECU for now and later on maybe swap to the 1.8 engine harness (plug and play for same year) the white car is being stripped and sold as a running/driving chassis, needing a passenger side control arm (ball joint) and full exhaust. using the sedan to replace the POScort
what needs to happen between now and the end of april is i have to get the car out of garage and the white car sold. unfortunately there is a small swamp in front of it and i almost got the white car stuck
so the grey one will definitely get stuck with its summer only low pros. hopefully soon :/
i ended up selling the carbon hood to injens brother in hopes of finding one in much better shape. success! going to pick one up down by bridgeport tomorrow along with a front bumper as the one on the car fits like complete shit. workster autoworks will be fixing the bumper and respraying the items for me (as dan originally sprayed my car grey) so i can toss them on. probably have him do the spoiler too, unless i can find an OEM evo5 one.
JDM OEM window visors
the koni yellows from the white car are moving over to the grey car since i'm impressed with their reliability and driveability and im sick of dealing with coilovers in this climate. i've already swapped all of the nicer interior panels between the two coupes as well as the short shifter and evo6 cluster into the grey car. sold my DVD headunit for a simple iPod radio as CDs do not fare well in the grey car.
pictures and fun soon guys. can't wait to start driving my whore again.
