Sonny_Jim Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) So I'm taking a break from some wiring that's making me pull my hair out. So, I'm going to show everyone what I'm up to. I got the car about 3 year's ago from another member on this site(Kawika). It was his woman's ride. When I got the car the engine and tranny were out of it. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/motorout.jpg I brought it over to a friend's shop to drop a brand new engine into it. Somewhere along the lines I aquired an 83 hood. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/inshop.jpg I had the engine bay all done up with the stock tbi and s16g with 3" turbo back exhaust from *DM. The car was running fine at this time but one of *DM's kvk's f'd up on me and the little ball thing got sucked into the intake. Everyone I asked didn't really have an answer to what to do so I figured do a different set up with the intake since I was taking it apart any ways. Here's a pic when my brother and I did up the engine bay with chrome *DM hp's. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/blingmotor.jpg Here's the car now with a brand new airdam and Rev 2 chin spoiler from MotoCam360. This mod was so easy to do and I love the outcome! http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/001-1.jpg I know you can tell on these pics that the window is smashed. If you wanna know the story... Tweekers! These people were trying to steal stuff off my car and I caught them. A few days later they smashed my windsheild... I spent a month in jail after taking care of him. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/002.jpg One thing I like about the car are the door speakers. Someone did a nice clean job installing them. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/003.jpg Here's the custom done front seats. They're so comfy http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/004.jpg Here's a shot of the gauge overlays. When they're on they light up red. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/005.jpg Here's a rear end shot with the black stainless apexi n1 http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w457/veliline/006.jpg Edited July 19, 2012 by Sonny_Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny_Jim Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I got the car with the seats like that. I was wondering who all owned it before me. When I got it from Kawika, he thought it was cammed or something, because for appearing stock, it had some spank. Phil, come wire this thing for me! Subies get good milage so come on over!

Komeuppance Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 David owned that car since waaaay back when. Shaun's around... I doubt you WA guys will drive down to P-town for a meet though... lol... I think it's only ever happened once. -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbath Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) There's a slight possibility it is my old car. The person who bought it took it to Oregon, not Washington..but then again the car could have moved around. The seats look just like my old car's, but the shiftboot isn't the same. If it is my old car then I have no idea why they would remove the engine and transmission? I had a brand new stage 3 clutch on it and the engine worked fine. Did it have an AFC Neo? I never put those speakers on, and my engine bay wasn't stock. I also had a S16G mated with a 12a housing. If this is my old car, then wow. Time sure flies. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/acidagent/DSC04160.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/acidagent/DSC04155.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/acidagent/DSC04156.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/acidagent/DSC04152.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/acidagent/DSC04157.jpg Edited May 2, 2012 by acidbath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny_Jim Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Maybe... I saw this car when one owner had it and brought it to the first Lincoln City meet. He was from Cali and was in his 40s. I'll ask David tomorrow about who he got it from. I heard Kelly owned it once apon a time. The lower rear right quarter had a dent in it. Definately a different hood and hard pipes. I with I had those door panels though. Was yours an shp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys just give short notice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbath Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Naw, mine wasn't an SHP. The car I bought was from an original owner who lived in CA. Kelly never owned my car, but I did buy a crap ton of stuff from him. The seats look very similar to mine, perhaps my old car got wrecked and someone bought those seats? I didn't have any dents in the car but who knows what the next owner did to it. It's been a mystery to me ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny_Jim Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well, if you find anything with a VIN, I'll be more than happy to see if it matches up. My goal is to have this car show quality some day. My girlfriend's dad just happens to be a paint/ body guy, so I'm saving that for last. I'm going to figure out this wiring mess I have and go through the suspension next. I will be posting pics of my build on this thread as I go.

Did I tell you about the guy that owns Rallitek and the leggy he has!? Sleepy status! I got to go for a ride in it to. Amazing ride. I'll be so happy if we can get it going. Hopefully it'll be done before you come over. Then we can run em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbath Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 DGAF, It would be impossible for me to find the VIN , I sold it back in 2008 [?] I think. Either way, good luck on making it show quality. The car looks nice. As for the guy who asked me if someone wanted to trade me a slammed BMW. I don't recall anyone trying to trade me for a BMW. People offered me a Cop Car [Crown Vic ex Cop Car], a 240z with a V8 in it, and a slew of other cars that weren't desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
