Mods the shell came with:

Shaved/tucked engine bay (w/ fuse box relocated to stock SMIC location)
Hypercoil AWD lowering springs on stock struts
2g AWD dual piston front brakes
Rewired Walbro 255hp fuel pump

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Ahh, I can see all the firewall holes are welded up. That's one of my winter projects as well.

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

dat shell!!!

I'm sad he got rid of it, I was hoping he would be making a comeback sometime soon

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

He's got a stock red 2g now and still has that white 1g awd that got passed around a bit after Bryan Rabe got it from some dude in Carolina off NABR. The 1g has all the old parts from this thing in it.

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Looks good! Sorry I wasn't able to help out

Those 2g wheels have some fuzion tires or something?

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Oh yeah, I forgot about that shell.
Well congrats to you!

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Curious, pm me about wheels?

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

They do brad! Still good tread too! They are off your 2g aren't they? :lol:

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Nice shell.

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Small update. Picked up a few things for it last week. 2g head, has a couple casting flaws I think, I'll have to see what the machine shop thinks, it's straight as an arrow, comes out flat to .002" so It's a great candidate.

Also got some Evo VIII valve springs and retainers from an NTEC guy down by Kracka. And a perrin air filter from EvoTuna

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

This thing gonna roll this spring?

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

idk, engine is making slow process, the harness is not. I'll either need a turbo engine harness or use my unhacked n/t one and add a knock sensor and resistor pack. Then mod it so it works with the relocated fuse box. Going to be a lot of work.

Update 1/20/14:


Shell came with a socketed Eprom. I found a chip with a stock tune minus fuel cut on it I got from SleepyDSM like 2 years ago. Popped that in there.

Brought in my head to a guy my brother knows, he gave me a killer deal for some good work. Did the oil port mod before I brought it in.

https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...72665112_n.jpg

Picked up some Evo 8 valve springs.

Back from the machine shop, bling bling!

He even cleaned up the runners for me without even asking for no charge.

Put in my 3g lifters

Whoops, hand tools was too slow, electric impact was dead and the air tools were too much!
https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...32850486_n.jpg

Installed my new fp hardware as well
https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...98229779_n.jpg


Budget for the complete head including, machine work and parts: $195

Total for complete fresh goodhart stage 0 longblock from valve cover to oil pan including gaskets: $617 :D

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Wow, hell of a steal on the build! Hope to see this thing running soon.
I love that FP stud kit, I had some threads nearly stripped and those things held awesome WAY better than the hardware store stuff I used for a couple years.

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Yeah goodhart its looking good. maybe with some luck it'll be on the spring cruise!

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Nope, I'll be too busy with a new baby, SORT academy in May, and hopefully a new house. Lots going on this spring.

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

house ftw!

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

This.

I am actually contemplating foregoing doing Evo stuff this spring and instead of using my bonus from work on that doing a lot of house stuff that I have been holding off on doing.

Car stuff is awesome, but house stuff is awesome too.

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

Yea, there's a good chance this thing will get put on the back burner for a few months until we find/move in one. We are starting our search in March and hope to have one by the end of May.

Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g
 

I'm glad that I took a year off, but to be fair I wanted a house.
