Hey guys, just picked up this 8 the other day...
Attachment 227194 Got it for a good deal, and completely re-did it. Here's the list of stuff that was done, or I did. Complete Ignition Air Filter Optima Red Top Battery Catalytic Converter Cat-back Exhaust 02 Sensors Ceramic Brake Pads Cross slotted and drilled rotors MAF Trans and Diff Fluid SSV Air Pump Radiator Temp Knobs D2 Coil-Overs Varrstoen ES 2.2.1 (18x9.5 +30 all around) Federal SS595 (235/40R18 all around) as well as some other small cosmetic things... As soon as I got the car, I started order stuff. It piled up quick... Attachment 227195 and more came... http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...pse32ffba6.jpg Attachment 227196 So I started putting stuff on.... Attachment 227197 Attachment 227198 Needed a new wheel stud... Attachment 227199 Attachment 227200 Attachment 227201 Attachment 227202 Attachment 227203 I can do a write-up for coil-over install for anyone who requests it, but it really is self explanatory. Here's how it turned out.... Attachment 227204 Next I did the exhaust and cat.... Attachment 227205 Hollow cat.... Attachment 227206 By this time, all the brakes were on, and all the other tune-up items. The car ran amazing now. Then came the new wheels.... Attachment 227207 They fit very well, with only small fender mods..... I then went for the bronze.... Attachment 227208 Attachment 227209 Attachment 227210 Attachment 227211 It definitely came a long way from where it was, and runs really well now. I run Protek Premix as well. I just have a P0171 code (lean code) that I'm still working on chasing down. I also have very small leaks on my rear tires around the TPMS stems, but I will get that fixed soon. I also will have some stuff for sale soon if anyone is interested, such as aluminum fender strakes, chrome fuel door, oem wheels and tires, and some other small stuff. Here are some of my previous cars also... Attachment 227212 My favorite car... Attachment 227213 Attachment 227214 SC was mine, 240 was my buds. It was an oem 5-speed SC... Attachment 227215 Had only 19k original miles.... But I'm glad I got back in to rotaries. The high RPM power is what I like driving. Either way, enjoy the photos, and one more shot before I bought it.... Attachment 227216 |
Well done sir! Welcome to the club and enjoy the car!

Wow well done for only having it for a few days! Looks great!
|
Welcome man & I love that first gen
|

|
Thanks guys! That first gen was an awesome car, bridgeported and all. It was my favorite car, and I still wish I had it. I also really like the bronze as well. Hopefully getting more pics next week also.

Also, don't forget to have the entire front up in the air, and put the front coilovers in at the same time, and the rear in at the same time. If you do one side at a time, you won't be able to get the other side out due to the fronts being linked together by the sway bars and whatnot. And if you want help, just let me know, Towson MD is a little over an hour away from me.

Small update for today, checked tires and they weren't leaking today so hopefully it was just leaking when I had them off. Here is another pic of the wheels today...
Attachment 227191 Going to work the height difference between the front and rear next week as well as chase down that P0171 code, but it's looking good. I've noticed I have at least one blown speaker in my car (BOSE), and I think it's the one in the dash. Either way I might be changing out some speakers soon. |
Nice job.

Small update, no more tire leak, and no more CEL for now. Small pic shoot with a 240 bud, and another guy.....
Attachment 227111 Attachment 227112 Attachment 227113 Attachment 227114 Attachment 227115 Attachment 227116 I didn't have my nice DSLR camera, so they are all phone pics... Hopefully a legit photoshoot soon. |
Still got some fender gap in the rear. Do you plan on going lower in the rear? I also have a set of D2's waiting to go in my car.

Small update, no real photoshoot yet, but hopefully soon.... Took some more random pics...
Attachment 226884 Attachment 226885 Attachment 226886 Still haven't messed around with rear height either. Might just raise the front a 1/2" and call it a day. Anyways, hopefully be able to get some stuff done this week if I can find the time. And I have some fender strakes, a chrome fuel door, and OEM wheels if anyone is interested. |
Oh! you've got the chaparral interior on VR - nice combo! I think this is the first time I've seen it.
|
Great Job!
Well organized, planned, and thought out . |
I love the way how your 8 looks now! ;)
