Haha you're not kidding, my buddy had one that he ended up putting 250K on. It was always beat, but never broken. I'm really looking for something a little bigger like a late 90's Jeep Cherokee.SoundEfx wrote:There is nothing like a civic for a daily driver...lol.
Seriously, those things just keep on going.
Only ballers could afford an older Jeep Cherokee with these gas prices....lol...GoodzKouki wrote:Haha you're not kidding, my buddy had one that he ended up putting 250K on. It was always beat, but never broken. I'm really looking for something a little bigger like a late 90's Jeep Cherokee.
Thank you. It wasn't actually all that bad. The Sikky Kit and Wiring Specialties harness made it feel like a simple factory motor swap. Working on the LS1 was a little bit of a learning curve since I had no experience with those motors. It wasn't that bad at all though, it was refreshingly easy compared to other motors I've worked on.ericjanes wrote:you really made all that work seem so easy, looks amazing man great job.
Thank you. Other then being my nice weather DD I plan on taking it to the local road course. An open track day is coming up next weekend that I might attend. At the moment I'm still shaking the car down and making sure everything is good. No plans to drift it really, just the usual fun in empty parking lots . I'll also take it to the strip once or twice when the weather gets nice.mattblancarte wrote:Hell yes. I love LS1 swaps into S14s. Ultimate ground and pound swap.
Tip of the hat to you. Very tasteful upgrades all around.
What kind of driving do you plan on doing in this thing? Road course, drift, both?
Glad to see it all came together for you man, looks good bro
I love to live dangerouslySoundEfx wrote:You're a brave man running that LS monster without a strut bar....lol

There is no one offering that where I am...
The time will come, I've had a couple nice days here and there to rip around in her. My problem is that literally nothing is going on around me. Me and my buddies work at the shop and then are too busy with other BS to find time to get into trouble. It doesn't help that the weather is crappy and two of my friends cars are broke lol.SoundEfx wrote:If you haven't had to buy rear tires yet, you're doing it wrong....lol
Can't argue with that. When I lived at home I had a rock driveway for most my life till my parents decided to asphalt it. Even that's better then what some people have. Here's a few pics of what we rented before, a rundown barn that we rented from a nice older lady. Floors are dirt with random carpets on top . We built my buddies vr4 in the dead of winter and built our 24 hours of lemons car (99 Legacy) there among other stuff.SoundEfx wrote:Consider yourself lucky that you have a shop at your disposal.
Some people would kill for that.
Thank you Papa. Yea nice call on the jeep. I figured I'd stick with what I know, and I've had my fair share of Subarus. Plus this Outback was a steal . I've been looking into getting a used GoPro if I can find one local for cheap,then I'll be uploading cooler videos of the 240 once the weather gets a little nicer. My buddy with the track-car Miata told me that the next open track day was in march so I'm hoping to get her to the track for the first time when that rolls around.PapaSmurf2k3 wrote:Looking good!
And good call on the legacy instead of the jeep. You would have had to mortgage the 240 to keep the damn jeep running.
