Whats up everybody, I'm Chris, I'm 22 and this is my 4 year in the making project car. I bought it when I was 18 right when I got out of highschool. I had always wanted to find a white 2g awd with little to no modification. I happened to be on Craigslist one night and saw this car for sale in the next town over from me. First thing the next morning I went there with a trailer and picked it up. It had just over 100,000 miles, cut springs and had been sitting for a year. I brought it home and quickly put it on the road. About a week later on my way to school, the timing belt snapped and I sat on the side of the road for 5.5 hours waiting for AAA to bring a flat bed. I brought it home and then had a big decision to make. Either fix the head, and keep the 7 bolt or do a fully built 6 bolt swap. I decided to go with a 6 bolt swap. I pulled the 7 bolt out and bought a 6 bolt from a local preformance shop. When i took the motor apart I found that somebody had tapped the head with different bolts above the cams, and one of the ears on the block was completly broken off. I bought another head and brought my block to a local machine shop called Custom Auto Machine/ Camco Race Engines. It was there for about a week. I paid them to bore the cylinders .20 over, bake, wash align hone the block. They hot tanked it, didnt bake it, and when i measured the cylinders they were crooked and also over bored past .20. They refused to refund my money, so I ended up buying another block and and brought my new head and block to a machine shop in NH called R&L engines. They did an awesome job and I highly recommend them. As time went on the build got bigger and bigger. I had originally had planned to have it down for about a year, but 3 years later here I am still building it. Anyways heres some pics and info on the car.
