i bought a new car :) now with *working* pics!
 
yeah i bought another car on Monday... i bought it as a daily driver kinda of a thing, just somethign to drive so i can work on the CRX for days at a time....anyway here is the story and pics for those how cant read :-* haha

it didnt have a battery in it so i grabbed one from my house that was suppost to be bad and tried to warrenty it...they say its good! fuckers i bought a new battery for the CRX cuz the gay machine said it was bad (and its been sitting on the garage floor for 3 months), so i have them charge it. me and a buddy go down there and pop the battery in and some new terminals, crank it over....he thinks there might not be any compresson? i say it has no spark whatso ever....so i run home grab an extra ignitor and some plugs etc and head back. igintor swapped, rotor was also fucked up so i rigged it up...WE HAVE SPARK :P still wont turn over and now it has a shitload of oil in the combustion chambers from some leaky spark plug tube seals :-X and the battery starts to go dead.......so we put the car next to the CRX w/Yellow top Optima and after a couple more trys....SHE RUNS!!! with a big ass cloud of smoke of course, but it burns off...


oh so we get the car home and im saying that im gonna start to drop the motor out tonight and ---- to put the D16Z6 in the car and my biddy is like "it runs and doesnt smoke...shouldnt we fix that first :P"....good point. so i desided to blow up the stock LX/1.5 then install the Z6... so i will be installing my Z6 intake manifold with LS throttle body and my turbo ---- on the stock motor. pulled lots of the stock ---- last night and started wiring, but my wiring soldering skill suck...


oh car info: 1988 Honda Civic LX...17x,xxx somthing miles (dont care to know) has power everything, windows, doorlocks, steering, ghetto ass SHAFT RADIO! haha, no AC... and i paid about $580bucks for the car including licenced new plates, title transfer, new taillight, etc thats all for a running Civic

wow didnt realize it was that appearent....but in the view from the back you can see all the cars stacked up hahaha

well this will be a 99% 'pull a part' car seenings how i got it there and most of the parts (turbo, and others) will probly come from there...

well they usually have pretty nice deals on cars, but they dont like to sell them cuz its usually not worth the effort to try and sell them so they rarely set them aside anymore...i had to have this one set aside, it was barried in the back of the holding area. i also got the hook up on the car, i use to work there and so did another buddy (we are both on good terms with the boss lady, and pretty much everyone there) that was there helping me jew down the price and score the title so i didnt have to have it inspected ::)

thanks for the complements guys :-* (i do realize its a POS)

also before anyone askes NO that DSM is not a turbo, i checked already ;)

Since it's a beater, just bend the gas tank up and throw the exhaust straight back with a turn down a the back!!
