They are awesome indeed. Sucks unscrewing the stock panels where these just pop off.

Re: Project Winter Beater

Put my Konigs on her with the tires I picked up from Andy. They fit, but just barely. Look great though:

Re: Project Winter Beater

Still daily driving the thing to work and school. Replaced the fuel pump today with the evo 9 pump I received from scheides. All the studs were broke so we busted out the sheet metal screws to hold it down in true winter beater fashion. lol


With taxes on their way in about a week, I'm tore between just putting the money aside for later or do the timing belt components, water pump, valve seals and other small things. I for sure know I'm going to do a full turbo back exhaust. I guess my thinking is if this motor smashes the valves I can then focus on getting the good parts and motor transferred from my Laser.


Still thinking about it. I do like the 91 as a daily driver, I'd like to keep it that way instead of stripping it down.

Re: Project Winter Beater

My plans are focusing on the 91 now. That's going to be the new project car for me. I already swapped most of the laser's interior:





Also rocking the Laser's night-shaded tails:



I'll more than likely make a new thread since the car is being upgraded from winter-beater status to weekend warrior.
