TurboFreaks Build thread? What?!?!

[TurboFreak]

Yep finally got another soupy.
CAR:
86.5 Burgandy Hardtop 5-Speed
Drove freaking 8 hours each way to get it.

Very little rust on the exterior, no rust on the underside, and a lot of rust in the spare tire well (Fuel Cell time maybe?).
Came with intake and cat-back exhaust which is cool!

PLANS:
I'm really considering making a drift car out of it. I have way too many friends that are drifters(one guy I know just got into D1 last weekend in NJ) to make a 1/4 mile machine out of it. Plus I love being different and I haven't seen a successful MK3 drifting yet.

So plans are as follows:
-Get the N/A running
-Drop it like its hottttt (Coilovers)
-Wheels and Tires(times a jillion) Work VS-XX with like a +15 offset or so...
-Work on the horrendous steering angle (30 degrees?? C'mon WTF mate???)
-Front Lip (3-hole lip)
-THEN get my spare 7mgte built up
-Needs a lot of work to get it running such as new pistons, intake manifold, turbo, exhaust manifiold...etc.
- Upgrades will be the usual 550cc's, lexus afm, maft-pro, 57 trim ct-26...2-step!!!!!....etc.
...oh yeah I forgot to mention that. MY friend is getting my a 7mgte block and head for free!!!


OK on with the pictures:

Any idea what this is??? (Below)

Hmmm, orange/red block?? Obviously rebuilt or something, I have no clue.

NO BHG!!! WOOT!!

What headgasket is this? Is it metal? ..no clue.

Looks like the cover for the oil pressure sending unit.


Congrats and hope to see more from this. You have to get it running before the Philly meet. J/k

Alright!!!!
Nice find man. I'm glad you're back in the game.
You should come to NE2K7 with me if you can get it running by then.
I wanna help whenever you need it.




P.S. Your post count is 420, nice! haha

 

[TurboFreak]

Thanks AFoney1jz, that is definitely what it is.

Haha, you're retarded!!! Good luck with the build and let me know if you need any parts. I have a lot of random shit laying around.

 

[buckshotglass]

Did you build anything yet?

At least you didn't say 1J yet.

I guess I'll watch.

Hmm ...no, I didn't build anything yet.

I will not be saying 1J except for if it has a "not" in front of it.:naughty:

And you better watch and see how its done...

 

[buckshotglass]

It's done? cool. That was fast. NIce job.

 

[mattgo]

**happy dance**

Can't wait for the updates!!!!!!!!!

 

[AF1JZ]

BTW freak....I don't think that is a metal head gasket. It looks like the stock one.

 

[TurboFreak]

i like your cherokee.

I like it too! What a coincidence! I like it more cause its my daily driver.


Aphone1jz- Thats what I suspected, thanks

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Do we have an ETA on when this thing will be up and running?

 

[TurboFreak]

Haha yeah ummm early this summer? I get back from college next week. so after that I will be working on it everyday until it is running.

More people get in here please! I don't want my build thread to fail!!!

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Sounds like a great plan!!!!

What kind of parts you looking at??

 

[TurboFreak]

Some Cusco or SilkRoad Coilovers
Some crazy offset rims(Thinkin work vs-xx) with stretched tires....Just cause I know you all hate that.
And I really want another Bomex Three-hole front lip!!

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Argh at the stretched tyres :nono:

But yay for the Cuscos!!!! The bf was running them on his GA... VERY good setup

 

[TurboFreak]

yeah hopefully Cusco's... Ebay has them somtimes for awesome prices. More likely K-sports or Megan Racing Coils though... oh well.

I just learned the 240sx tie rods fit a mk3(very tightly but they do fit). So this is good news for my drifty...

EDIT: Stretched tIres for teh win cause I need to get as low as humanley possible with these offsets...
