just ANOTHER awd laser
 

Hello everyone! I have recently purchased a 92 red awd laser shell, missing: motor/tranny, rear end, and ecu. This is my first dsm to my name. It will be a side project that i hope to get running so i can get out to RF, KK, and the shootout. pics are on the way!

Awesome, man! Good luck with the car can't wait to see pics!

Good luck man, i wish i would have done it that way!! I bought a 96 gsx for $7,000 cash money, but it had a 7bolt in it still and a lot of mods... Well needless to say i am puting about another $2000 or so right now puting a 6bolt block with JE Internals,Eagle Rods, Arps , etc. If you do it right you should not have to spend a ridiculas amount of money to make a AWD Screamer! Good luck man. (sorry for the long post):D

Yea i thought it was hard but as long as you have a service manual and a dad that has all the tools, anything is possible!:D

Re: just ANOTHER awd laser
 

Yikes, I had to buy a few and take them apart before I knew enough to basically build one from scratch. Good luck with the project.

It's been a good 5 years wrenching on dsms for me. I'm not totally new to dsms or cars in general. But one thing for sure i like to ask questions and i will definitely be asking a bunch in the coming weeks. :)

Re: just ANOTHER awd laser
 

yeah joe, good luck

Re: just ANOTHER awd laser
 

Its not to hard as long as you can type to ask questions, and read a service manual....

Re: just ANOTHER awd laser
 

if u need a manual they are all online. just go to downloads.com , thats where i got mine

Re: just ANOTHER awd laser
 

So are you still going to convert it to the 1Ga body style and sell me your unneeded body parts? :D

Re: just ANOTHER awd laser
 

haha, well, we'll have to see about that. Dare i say, i almost LIKE the way the laser is starting to look. :confused:

-ACT 2600 clutch
-lightened stock flywheel
-TRE rebuilt stage 2 with 10% taller 5th gear, I no longer mind going 80 on the highway to keep up with traffic :)
-97 eagle talon tsi 17 inch "split rims" This is actually a really neat combination on the laser.
-medium sized front mount with 2.5'' charge piping
-crushed 1g bypass compressor valve
