I got a longblock off of craigslist about a year and a half ago, and built it. I was one day away from picking up a '92 hatch, had the money in my pocket, but a loan from school didn't come through and I ended up having to put that money towards school instead. So, long story short, I haven't had the money to get a car. Until back in June.
Even though I didn't have the money, I checked atlanta, greenville, and charlotte craigslist daily for a suitable car, for dreaming purposes. Eventually, I decided to check Nicoclub's classifieds list, and found a thread for this car.
The body is decent, interior is as clean as it can be. Crackless dash, no tear in the drivers seat. Came with front and rear sway bars and what looks like a set of 2" lowering springs, still wrapped in plastic.
As you can see, it's a pignose. The engine that was in it and supposedly ran before some wiring issues arose. THE BAD: it's an automatic, which means a little more work to do the swap. Either way, I couldn't pass up the deal. $500 got me the whole thing.
My goals are 400whp-ish daily after I go turbo. The build so far includes:
KA24DE motor bored 0.020" over
Wiseco 9:1 pistons (i think)
Eagle H-Beam rods
ARP head and main studs
Clevite rod and main bearings
Fully balanced rotating assembly
Onto the car:
with my lovely DD in the background :P
excuse my shirtlessness. Supposedly broke 100 degrees that day.
No rust! (well, surface rust, I could wipe it off :P)
Original sunroof cover. I've been told that these are rare!
Yep, it's an auto. I'll get over it once i've got the 5sp swapped over :P
Clean single slammer motor! Sale pending.
