hamilton,
Been working on this for over a year now, i originally bought it with a blown motor and some suspension goodies.
I sold the suspension and bought some g/c coilover sleeves and adjustable agx's, but I messed these up trying to lower the perches so I bought some second hand evo 8 bc coilovers and adapted them to fit.
I also went through some wheels, i started with fd's then some american racing steelies from a jeep, rolled my arched and dropped the car but hated the honda camber, so i decided to get some fender flares, i know they are kinda the "in" thing at the moment but on these older cars the look is timeless in my opinion.
But then i found some more wheels this time some american eagle 054 series wheels. Which needed wider flares.
As for the motor i found a motor from a 4g63 converted avenger and bought in on the sellers word that it runs and threw on a big 16g and some 650's ,fmic, walbro, afpr etc etc, Imade a exhaust and planned on running a burnt chip with a maft for the blow by feature.
But after replacing every sensor and seal(for boost leaks) i couldn't stop it running rich at wot. I am now waiting for a ostrich and sensors to be delivered and thats pretty much where I am up to i have missed out a few things including the amount of times i have given up and tried to sell it
. Heres some pics and I will update my progress as it goes.
