Oh I'm keeping the wing Franky. I'mma get another trunk, I don't want to deal with headaches, I already have enough of them.

Cjung · 09-12-2009, 10:48 PM

hi yall..

o6spdracer · 09-13-2009, 01:17 AM

Hey Christian! What have you been up to?

Cjung · 09-13-2009, 02:05 AM

nothin much... o yea i started prepping my car to drop the engine.
my old boss at the shop i used to work at finally let me use part of his garage n his tools to let me do it.

with all these tools i think i can achieve wonders

anwayz should i still drop the engine? or pull it up?

Cjung · 09-13-2009, 02:06 AM

o btw, i also get a lift

only bad thing about this is i cant drive it...

mr.asian.m2 · 09-13-2009, 12:19 PM

Christian...do you have a daily driver? if yes.. take your time with the engine work. best to do everything right the first time.

koo for keeping the wing davis. it's going to look really nice once you paint the car too.

Cjung · 09-13-2009, 12:39 PM

i have my bicycle. Does that count as a daily driver? ahha

well i dont really have much to do since my school didnt start yet. But yea Im planning on workin on it for 2 days 8-10hrs each day

mr.asian.m2 · 09-13-2009, 12:46 PM

bicycle huh? i don't think your date or gf will enjoy you picking her up in one. but, only 2 days to work on the 2? to me...that really is not enough time to work on it. every time i pull my engine out. took me about 2 weeks. well, maybe it's longer for me cuz i clean all the parts to my engine. but, a clean engine is easy to spot leak anyway, and look good too

Davis · 09-13-2009, 12:53 PM

Drop it Christian! Whatchu doing to your engine? Or are you going to swap something beefier in?

I need to find a daily! That's if I had money.

o6spdracer · 09-13-2009, 01:26 PM

I like the way you think Frankie!

If you have the confidence that you will finish before school starts, drop it. You don't want to get stuck in a position where you need your car but can't drive because it's not finished.

mr.asian.m2 · 09-13-2009, 03:16 PM

i'm pretty sure you can find a cheap daily drive over there. get a A86 for a daily. hihih... mkI can be found for a good price too. hate to said this...but, civic are super cheap for a daily driver.

randomxzero · 09-13-2009, 05:27 PM

civics cheap and reliable

im actually have some money saved up for a Daily Driver.. but not much just a little under a grand.. but when i do have the money i cant decide whether i should get a Miata or a MKII N/A im siding on the MkII most likely but i could probably afford a clean miata for less than a clean MKII :/

haha friend found a video of me when i had my 85 Toyo Pickup 22R carb with a ****ping 90HP running turnbull canyon....

You Tube

mr.asian.m2 · 09-13-2009, 08:54 PM

alex...i said.. mkII

Cjung · 09-13-2009, 09:55 PM

im doing the timing belt, co. w/ clutch.

dont worry frankie, dont got a girl... YET

yea i wish i had time to clean everything, heck i wanted to paint my valve cover too, but since im borrowing garage space i just want to finish it asap so that i dont slow down business.

I wish i had money to drop in somethign more beefier and money for a AE86/AW11 for daily. heck another mkII w/ a turbo would b nice, but then my parents would kill me. Maybe later.

since i have shop tools, should i still go for droppin it from the bottom? or should i go for the top? I know there are a few ppl out there who have done it from the top, and most ppl dont go that route because of the lack of tool or lift. But i got both that i can borrow. OPINIONS PLZZZZZZZ

thanz yall

well...if you have the shop. i use the lift and drop the engine to the bottom. it's alot more easyer. just don't lose any hoses when you take them off. yeah..i had to learn from my mistake.

and the valve cover. you can paint it at home. don't really need a shop for that. just cover up the engine once you take off the valve cover.

Cjung · 09-13-2009, 10:25 PM

hmm mayb ill do it from the bottom.

and painting the valve cover while it being still attach is weird... i think just save myself 2 bux and not paint it. haha

mr.asian.m2 · 09-13-2009, 10:39 PM

wish i was there to help. i love cleaning up the engine bay and bring it to life with color.

kind of funny i'm on socal thread alot and none of you are on here alot anymore. guess mixxer don't live here anymore.

Cjung · 09-13-2009, 10:44 PM

yeaaa... i think every1 is meetin up today secretly or somethign... haha

mr.asian.m2 · 09-13-2009, 10:46 PM

Cjung · 09-13-2009, 11:06 PM
