[Javi]

that looks very decent and better than Handz waxed paint..

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

You have bad luck, the early 2v rarely spit the plugs, whoever did them probably didn't tighten them properly. Did it take the threads with it?

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

I do think so... it wont thread back in.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

So theres a dude locally that said he would charge 150 to timesert the head, is that too much?

 

[Lee12609]

That's about right considering shop rates.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Hmm ok, so I will have him come out next week seeing as Im broke from the tow and some other stuff. I traded my seats for some black kragen racing seats.. They are actually pretty nice.

 

[duff daddy]

sweet man!!

Ok so I got my car running again... it set me back 150 but at least im not pushin a saturn no more. And I found out I have a pi intake....which is funny to me considering this car is soooo slow. Well mainly out the hole...so it definitely needs some 4:10s... maybe 3:73s cause im more of a road racing fellow.

 

[Lee12609]

who told you it was a PI intake? post some pictures....

not sure what was done to your 95, but my 95 had 3.73s, CAI, yadda yadda, and my 96 was definately quicker when it was stock. my 95 might have been tired, and the 96 taken care of, but without a doubt....

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

The guys workin on it...All they do is work on and part out sn95s and stuff they're pretty knowledgeable. One even works at ford.

 

[Lee12609]

and the previous owner didnt know/tell you?

post an engine bay shot, i wanna see it anyways!

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Shiiiet the PO told me, but I didnt believe him...Im not sure if it is at this point anymore anyway...I think its just a npi with the upgraded aluminum thing..

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

I'll get some pics up when my cam isnt dead

 

[danielson631]

Welp today...i blew a plug out the head, damn 2v's lol..

hey the paint doesnt look bad at all for a cheapo paint job.

my 4v spit a plug a few months back. i thought everything was going to be alright untiil i noticed the ground electrode was gone. it fell into the cylinder, cracked the piston and got wedged inbewteen the piston and the wall. scratching the hell out of it

on the bright side, i have a new engine now, Lol!

 

[Lee12609]

which direction does the first runner go, drivers side or passenger side?

there is a HUGE difference in PI and NPI manifolds looks wise, should be obvious if you look at the runner size and which direction they run.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

its a npi... the first runner, goes the the right i believe...Im not infront of the car. the runners are real flat.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Welp not much progress, I been set back by a tire goin out with 4 nails in it.. I feel like a dick for having a car with 4 different tires on it. Otherwise, im going to smog the car and finish the registration, then a off road x pipe. Im also doin a lil somethin with the paint... Since rustoleum is so cheap. I put new summit racing seats in the car that I trade my old stock black fronts for. Thinkin about doing a rear seat delete.

Heres a lil photoshop of what I got planned for the paint....the bright rusto red, was just too much not to be broken up.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Probably gonna ditch the wing too. At least until I get a s281

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Well I decided against the photochop above... here's a video of the car. Its still alive. I need to pick up that engine and some gears and get to work on making thisbitch fast.

A lil burnout down the block...
