Well the time has come people for my build to begin.
Im working with a 93 ls-se with 133k, that i picked up for less than 2 grand in early january
with the car came:
KYB gas sturts on GC coilovers(sold to my brother 2 weeks after purchase)
some crap crushbend exaust with apexi muffle.
Short shifter(not installed)
and the good shit
A B17 head that just been installed by a shop in the springs not even a month before i purchased the car:rockon:
Supposedly it has XS power stg 2 cams and upgradded valve train and a ebay sk2 knock-off IM . Need less to say i have not heard the best thing about them and plan to uprade for the build, I looked at them when i did a vavle lash adjustment on it, but it was hard for me to tell if he realy even had them put in, cause i wouldnt know what kind of marking it or the oem b17 has to look for in the first place.
Promtly after the purchase date, it bombed emissons horribly, the SOHC ecu they had running the vtec was running so rich it bombed by over 3 time the legal limit on HC. LLOL
Obvisly this was my first challenge to deal with, but not hard. Swapped over to a LS PR4 and passed with flying colors, just no Vtec:(
Second off, I had a distr. that was showing signs of not only a bad ignitor unit, but im sure a bad coil and TDC sensor problems where there as well.
So out with the old, In with the new. I hit up distr. king (you get the drift) and had a new one promptly shiped out
Ive been putting off this tread because there one bad thing, (unknow to me) the guy i bought it from said how, but i was to busy under the car looking at more important things. from the looks of it and the damage is basicly nothing a new upper and left support a little straitening isnt going to fix
which is why im here now:naughty:
So the funds have come together, the car is striped down in the garage and the whole project is on hold till UPS gets there shit together and bring me my parts and it take the 2 mile tow up the street to the body shop who is going to remove, clean up, and weld on the new supports.
So Everybody Say Hello, to my new pride and joy

I would love to just tag this thread up with pictures, but i havent realy had the time to take any due to the fact I never have my camera with me, and im at work 55+ hours a week, but here’s a couple of teasers for you
