So im planning on fixing up this thing and giving her a little pep to her step. This will be my first time wrenching on a rotory car.

The plans: new plugs, wires, coils, starter, engine mount, and remove the cat.

Tomorrow im going to put some spark wires and plugs in (both are NGK). maybe delete the cat too.

Ill probably post up some pics of my projects along the way.


In the future i plan to paint the rims, lower it and maybe do a body kit. Im looking back and i guess this thread is kinda pointless for now i guess it will just be the start to my build thread. lol

 

Have you looked into the Black Halo Racing Ignition?

What year is your 8? You might want to include the oil catch can.

 

Yeah i was looking into getting the BHR packs


and its an 04

 

Get that, that, that and that!
Welcome to addiction! I meant, the club! :D

 

Good list to start with.

 

Engine maintenance is a good way to start. You really need to take care of the engine because of all the issues of it.

 

ok so I had some time to spend in the garage yesterday... so i did the cat delete and plugs/wires





so after i got it up on the lift.... here some pics of the greddy exhaust

 

Then i took off the mid pipe and cut the flanges off to reuse.
heres a pic of the start of the new mid pipe. sorry forgot to get pic of final finished product. will do next time its on lift


The cat was in pretty bad shape so im glad i got it off

On to the plugs and wires!





After all this was done i put it on the ground and the bitch wouldnt start lol. after a few taps on the starter its fine now... so now i have to go get a $200 starter lol. took it for a spin and has alot more power and sounds much better. still spit a little at high RPMs and misfired. so i guess its time for coil packs

 

cool FWD cars.......... O.O

Tell them to switch to some RWD. FTW!!!

Yes coils.

 

those were my cars... and i have FWD RWD and AWD cars sooooo yeah

 

oh cool. enjoy.

 

If you lived here you'd have to replace it. Fouls the air real nasty. Otherwise, nice changes; good maintenance.
