Default yeah, so I bought a new car.....

I got a new car. Alot of you will hate it, some will like it, I could really care less, thought some of you might appreciate it and wanna see.

I found this when I went to go look at some suspension and some wheels down at a local shop. I saw the car, I thought it was pretty dang sweet. I come home, got back on the website and noticed it said "1800 kit" I either thought one of 2 things. It was a stroked B16 or a type R swap. Sweet! Myself and a buddy went back down there to check it out, popped the hood and noticed the spoon yellow valve cover. I asked the guy (who spoke pretty dang good english) and he said it was a spoon motor. Its also got spoon suspension, tie bars, spoon slotted rotors up front, spoon braided lines, and the recaros on the inside (one is shot to ---- though,the bride will go in shortly). It also has the factory LSD tranny in it.

anywas onto the pics




the dirty as hell engine bay -gonna steam clean it this weekend hopefully


popped the valve cover off and was really really impressed!


yeah, so there she is. Its got a few bugs to be worked out, but its been sitting for a long time, so its expected.

I plan on it this summer. Ive talked to 3 different shops about the motor. Every shop I talked to said spoon didnt stamp all motors. Their crate motors are stamped but not just regular "send in and assemble" work.

Old news. Welcome to last week. Frank don't worry about that filter. I'll just get a K&N drop in. Why'd you take off the header wrap?
