looks good!

Did you do a stock rebuild?

[darko240sx]

ya it is a stock rebuild. .04 over . I could not afford forged pistons. I will be going na for the next year till I get money to build my turbo. Got custom header (copy of pacesetter, better welding and ceramic coated though), ssac catback n1 style , asp underdrive pulley and a k&n cone air filter.

You are looking at it. She is as she stands for now, but I have some big plans for her. Going to paint it pink with some hello kitty graphics, rock some DUBs, lower it about 8 inches so she can't move off the belly of the car. She is going to be art!!! I tell you! A big pile of riced out no go all show. LoL

Really, I am going to paint it pearl white, staying with the stock pignose. 2.5 inch lower in the front and a 2 inch lower in the back. 17 inch wheels black or bronze with chrome lip (can’t decide on color or wheel type yet LoL). I think I am going to get my seats redone and do a manual swap as well. That’s all I have really thought about so far.

darko240sx what color is your valve cover?

[babowc]

[darko240sx]

darko240sx what color is your valve cover?

It is a color that my friend and I mixed, with a base coat of silver.

As for all the emissions junk, I need it in there to pass emissions in the county of boulder. They have much harder restrictions then the rest of Colorado.

Not very much at all. $200-$300. But I have a very good parts hookup through my Grandfather’s machine shop. Labor all done by me. Motor was blue printed, honed , marked and built all at my Grandfather’s machine shop.

I bet if you had some one do it for you. You could get it done for like 600-800 maybe a little more. I know rebuilt sohc motors sell for around 1500-2000 from local shops.
