92 Auto Street Sleeper


Read more about this vehicle here...

The day I bought her. As stock as a 92 with 168k miles can be.

One of those plates I didn't think would be available.

I was hoping to have some fun in the snow and I did. Stock suspension and the 68HTA helped to not get stuck once when Jeeps were. I went a little crazy in a parking lot and it got a little hot twice and spilled from the overflow but she is absolutely fine.

I had some slight past operating temperature spikes during the summer so I got a Mishimoto radiator and fans to fix that. I’ve had every other hose and a thermostat for awhile. Slowly but surely.

When I mean sleeper I mean sleeper. Eastwood has radiator paint that works perfectly for this.

A shot installed.

More updates to follow.

I’ve honestly been working too hard at work to have the enthusiasm or energy to work on my own passions for a while. I made the decision to get it running and driving before my birthday July 31. It was running before I started modding in 2019. I was rushed to find a house to not deal with constantly worrying about moving with a month to figure it out and have been sprinkling my spare change at random issues and house needs for years. Parts just sitting. I’ve bought 5 cars since and the truck and the daily have completely new suspension, tune up, lift kit(Subi), wheels, tires blah blah blah. The Eibach dropped, front and rear camber arms, 392 wheeled Dodge Magnum 300C swapped just needs some decent weather for me to start swapping the front end. If I put that in this it would run 9’s . Well it’ll be running soon.

I’ve had the manifold since 06.

Friday night-Monday night.
Back harness stripped and labeled
Alternator and power steering out.
Jay racing kit waiting until after the block is clean.
FPR mounted.
Intake manifold prepped and shot with wrinkle(it’s better then what it was)
Mounted an old Wilson 75mm TB but has a DSMPT 60mm I believe.
I need a JMF coil bracket.
Need to shorten, eliminate and wrap the harness.
Clean the engine bay.
Tbelt, waterpump, and seals.
Rebuild and throw on a straight gear oil pump.
Probably keep stock head but throw in the ARP’s.
A little bit of work ahead of me.

Trans cooler mounted up.

I’m still figuring out the wiring. Speed density labeled and ready but I’m in between map sensors and don’t know if the resistance in the RIFE sensor would kill the DSMlink but I have a Omni 4 bar.
Second thought was the radiator support and really wanting that extra room. I just need to finish up some stuff with shop tools I just didn’t feel like driving to get.

Glad to see another VA 1g in progress.

Well I’m hoping I can drive it by my birthday the 31st of July. It’s just how far do I want to go.
