my 89 coupe ... project

studgus · 10-10-2006, 04:26 AM

okay i cant go to sleep and i never posted on thi section so lets see if im in the right one or if i get what its all about ......
i purchased this car about 4 months ago with an sr20 in it... a week before i purchased it i sold my hatch with an sr also .. this one coast me 3,700.... with some 555cc injectors safc z32 maf and so on needs paint but yeah anwyays ... if u look closely u can see iv done a lil progress on the car .....

this is my old car i sold stock .. for 5100 i believe

and this is my car when i got it

once i got it first weekend purchased some used tien he coilovers, cleaned up the engine a bit, and got a fmic

haha while installing my fmic some how managed to brake my headlight

so after that a couple days later purchased some triple projector head lights for $90 with the silvia grill

when i got the car also only had a passenger side s14 seat so i found a good condition driver side and put it in

later on about id say amonth ago i took my turbo out so i can replace the old lines and put in some better one steel braided BAKER lines,,, took me id say good 2-3hrs ...

haha in this pic i try'd to make it seem like it had a greddy logo on it haha ..

so yeah anwyays that all i have as of now ... when i got the car these are the mods it had

96 sr20det black top
cosmetic head gasket
T25
adjustable waste gate
megan exh. manifold
3" silk road turbo outlet
3" dp and 3" exh (custom)
Z32 maf (n62)
s14 oem radiator
electric fan
Nismo 550 injectors
walbro 255 fp
Safc II
turbo timer
nismo trany mounts and engine mounts
Exedy 6 puck clutch
welded diff
cusco tension rods

i added
the T28 s15bb that same day
coil overs HE's
greddy fmic
nismo fpr
baker lines
mbc and lil other stuff
like the s14 seat and other lil stuff..

recently i blew a bearing ... so i purchased a long block .. and currently the car is in the shop ......

i just bought this past week or so

AEM EMS stand alone
3.5 bar map
and some other sensor i forgot whats it called
gt3071r (64.) T25 style flange...(bottom mount)/change of plans i just re ordered it i figured a 2871r will be best for me at the moment as of 10/10/06 9:54 am =-(
new dash with no cracks haha ill be putting that in right away
purchassing either sard or nismo 740cc inj. this week
and during next month i will be getting my head done
hks step 2 cams ..... cam sprokets, valve springs,arp studs, port and polish the head, and so on ....
during the fall i will be re building my messed up block with bigger pistons and so on .... as of now without my bottom end done my goals on this car are only 400whp ... after i put in a new bottom end im gonna try and shoot for 500 maybe 550whp witch i know wont be easy to get but maybe strocked out at 2.2 might help a bit so yeah ...

also as for suspension hmmm haha i dont know much about suspension .... cusco tie rods... hmmm i dont know haha will see but i am going to do suspension .. i know thats a big thing .. that why i tell my lil brother that before he gets his first SR to do his suspension and him being the smart person that he is .. he is going to start on that first ...

hmmm rims i will be maybe getting some sport maw cheap and look okay ... after a whil get some Volk's VS or what not ... shooting for some 17x9 all around with maybe a +15 offset ...

get some Z32 brakes all around with the 5 lug conv.

also biggning of next year i will be getting a paint job but still not sure what color
my 2 colors in mind are 98 honda prelude green or a pearl white... both most likely with a black top, hood and trunk .... @ the same time a version select body kit not sure exacly witch one so yeah ...

lmk what u guys think of my small progress and some suggestion/advice maybe

I second this..BAN!!! Brick headlights ftmfw!!
Car looks good though, keep up updated on it. Why did you sell your hatch??? It looked really nice.

studgus · 10-10-2006, 01:55 PM

i sold it hmmmm just cause the guy offered me a good price for a stock sr stock suspension and all ... so yeah thats the only reason cause i didnt even have it for sale he just offered so i was like hmmm okay ... but yeah i just re ordered a 2871r... hope fully that'll be good for a lil over 350whp .. and by next summer go with a 3076r top mount and all so yeah ... but ill keep u guys updated ill take some pix of how the engine bay looks when i get the car out witch will be like the early next week or so
