Whats up everyone? Im pretty new around here. Been checking out some of the great builds on here. Anyway, last year during the end of summer i picked up a 91 LS-Special. I love this car! Its not too clean but i dont care. When i got it, it didnt run and the previous owner didnt know why. After i got it home, i could whoever had this car before me had no idea of what the hell they were doing. The first thing i did was throw a cap and rotor in her and she fired right up! after some time driving around, i started running into problems… The clutch started to slip, needed an alignment, and many other small things. When i went to go change my clutch, i noticed my bell housing on my tranny was fucked. It was cracked soooo bad and im not even low. Must have been from someone else. Didnt have time or money at the time to replace it so i put it back in. I will upload pics later today.
Well i was gonna try and upload some pics but it cant figure it out. I tried to upload pics from my computer but it said it failed. Can someone point me in the right direction of how to upload pics?
Use photo bucket or tiny Pics .com to upload your pics hope this help.
Thanks acura_madness. I went and made a photobucket account but now I have to wait until I get to my computer. But I have a little update. Got all my motor mounts out. Rear mount wasn’t as bad as everybody made it sound. I was about to put the tranny in but it started to down pour. I will try to upload pics as soon as possible.
Heres some more pics of it chilling in my backyard after i got her home. She was pretty dirty:
Heres the engine bay. The first thing i did was swap out that gross valve cover for a black one from my brothers old teg:
Here is what was done to it:
Ebay header
Thermal R&D exhaust w/ thrush glasspack (loud as hell)
Ebay coilovers
Pep boys rims
Stage 2 clutch
Heres a pic of the old clutch:
And heres the new $75 ebay clutch i put in:
To this day (about 4 months later) the clutch is still going strong. Not one single problem with it. I guess its a hit and miss with ebay parts.
Heres some pics i took over the last few months since nothing much has happened other than little replacement parts:
At a local park called, Big Hills:
This is how it is in Wisconsin lol:
Well recently the teg started to get pretty expensive and i couldnt really afford it, and my brother seemed to like her alot so i made a deal with him. We are gonna build her together until i can get another project DA which i probably will this summer. Let me know what you think, positive or negative.
What are the plans for said build?
I do like black DAs…
Its gonna be a somewhat slow build. Don’t have a lot of plans as of now for the motor. Mainly focusing on fixing up the body and suspension. Gonna be saving up over the summer and pick up a C5 or C1 in the winter. Right now I’m putting a new tranny in her because my other one decided to blow apart.
As for the body we will be getting:
92-93 front bumper
Wings west rear bumper
Mugen rep skirts
OEM DB2 or DA6 wing
CF hood
CF hatch
Repaint original Flint Black Metallic
Konig Lightnings
nice one good luck with the build
Thanks man! Appreciate it.
Got some progress… got the tranny mounted up. But when I went to put the front motor mount in, the top hole was stripped. So I went and tapped it out and got a bolt. It threaded good, I just hope its gonna hold. Hopefully gonna get it running tomorrow. Its been one long month without driving her lol gonna change the oil and filter tomorrow also.
