As you know i lost the motor a few weeks ago(a small update) i think i lost a head gasket! I haven't worked on her much becuase i have working my butt off at work for that new motor, but i have removed the nose & hood and the radiator cap. Well looking down in the Rad it's half empty (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) It didn't dawn on me at the time, but there was steam coming out the oilpan(thought it was the Rad) when i pulled off track. Back on topic...
So the motor is coming out and now would be a good time to remove alot of weight up front. Just the basic's for now like HVAC, smog/egr, and turning her in to a front breather(got to talk to 94bird about this) I know that this take's money to do, but it's not as much as some of the other thing's i need really bad i.e. cage,seat,belt's,shock's,spring's,t2r! So the PRO's to this 1.It's not a car i need to drive everyday, or at all. 2.I accept the fact i can lose this car on track, and as a backup daliy driver. 3.I understand it take's more $ to build a track car than to buy one. 4.It's crazy, but it's going to be fun to build a track car, with the lack of fund's,tool's, and the skill's needed! 5. I have the wife talked into this (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) but at time's(split second) i'm not (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) The CON's 1. NO money! 2. Still owe $ on the car, about $2000 3. Still have no $$$$ 4. Am not building car for a race class (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) but will be my track car anyway! I guess i'm a little old for having(asking for) my hand held while i do this (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) |
