I’ve missed my 92 white on blue LS I had when I was in high school, and after playing around with a dozen different cars since I decided to pick one up again!
I don’t have many pictures because I’m lazy but I’ll throw one in for good measure since no one likes to read without pics!
Its silver on brown, 260k miles, 91 5speed, good a/c etc.
New alt, distro, wheels + tires, brakes and some other bits.
Great daily beater, but I already have one of those so I’m using it for me “wrench on when bored car”.
I picked it up for 1200 a couple weeks ago, changed the oil, plugs, some other minor picking and it got me 36mpg driving DC to NYC.
I have now pulled out the interior from the back all the way up to the front seats and will get the rest out in the next couple weeks (while continuing to commute =)
It def needs some work, but I’m looking forward to it. Off the top of my head, I’m working on the following:
Stripping out the interior and repainting (I hate brown, plus I want it 100% minty clean. If I find a good interior of another at a JY I’ll use that instead). Exterior paint will come eventually. I also dislike the 90-91 Front so I’ll keep an eye out for a 92-93 or plain aftermarket bumper.
Drivers side door lock cylinder doesn’t work, so I ordered a 25$ ebay electric lock kit and will be adding it to all the doors and trunk.
The a/c and normal fan wiring is butchered. There is a manual switch for each, I’ll need to rewire back to stock operation.
The lower ball joints up front are SHOT. When I feel like punishing myself I’ll replace them, and any other suspension bits that look bad.
The speakers sound like crap. It has a good Kenwood head unit and I bought some Alpine Type S speakers to replace what was there, but when I installed them they still sound awful. They can get loud, but they sound tinny and awful, with 0 bass. Not sure what this implies? As I am pulling out the dash I will recheck the wiring, but even if the wires are switched they sound worse.
And naturally I’ll be building an engine on the side this winter with a target of 300whp for daily driving, likely using a holset again - still haven’t decided if I will do a quick ODB1 swap.
