Wow that looks super clean. 16g and pump will get you to about 250 at DB.

Thanks mike. It is pretty damn clean for sure. Minimal rust just some surface on the bottom. Strut towers were redone completely. And rear wheels wells are still there.
Heres a pic of the front |
Re: 16g Daily Driver Build
that is a great looking car. Cant wait until I can afford another one:)
is it me or do the headlights sit kinda funky? maybe it's the pic. It looks pretty much like my old one.. |
Re: 16g Daily Driver Build
Thanks !! The headlight do sit kinda weird right now. I have some things to go over on the car still but got it cleaned up pretty nice for now

Re: 16g Daily Driver Build
that is lookin clean man. love the 2g's. Gonna be a fun winter. Throw an Evo 3 in it :)
|
Re: 16g Daily Driver Build
That was my setup two years ago before I threw my 2.4 back in and stepped up to a Green. I made 290 at DB on the 16G on pump gas, can't remember if that was the 2.0 or 2.4.

Re: 16g Daily Driver Build
Update on the daily. Been driving it everyday with no problems besides it runs really rich all of a sudden one day.
Didnt get to timing belt or head gasket the snow came to quick and now the cold is kinda keeping me from doing anything to the car. Most likely going to just drive threw winter and then do alot of cleaning up and fixing when it warms up again. |
Re: 16g Daily Driver Build
Awesome! Looks so clean, what color interior?
|
Re: 16g Daily Driver Build
It is pretty clean it has its imperfections. But its a daily.
Interior is tan and black. I would like to do all black interior in the future |
