Was all set to go through with a 20v conversion until my budget was seriously shot down... Long story
So instead I'm currently hunting for a 4age 16v (86kw or 100kw either way just to slot in for now. The 4ac is not worthy of that car. IMO anyways...

this is gonna sound like a really stupid question but what is ADM exactly?
is it sumthing to do with the fact that ur lights look a bit different?

16's
I wasn't too sure on them at first but the more I see them the more they are growing on me.
I'm picking up my JDM dash tonight.
Pretty much just collecting a few bits and pieces for it.
I'll post somemore pics up tonight

Thanks for the comments everyone

Cheers

I like it, very clean and straight. But I am not keen on the wheels, its like they dont belong.

But then again it could be just me.


Still its very nice. Keep us posted with any developments on this car.

I've decided to start again with my thinking.
I'm gonna do my brake suspension and body work first. Then I'm gonna buy a 4AGE rebuild it with a few thirsty bits. Hopefully have it all ready and running then "DONK" in it goes.

That's the plan. But when it comes to car not alot goes according to plan with me.
Hopefully have this started mid next yr now.

Peripheral

Not exactly sure yet man...
Got a few people pointing me at things to look at. Honestly I'm still learning about the haichi's. But the more I learn and do myself the easier stuff will be in the future.

Looking at spending up to $2K on the suspension setup. And I'm getting new wheels as well. Something different. I'll keep everyone updated with how things are going.

Well... After reading one of my own posts I perhaps should of taken my own advice. "Don't let your emotions control the car"
My car didn't quite make it home last night... Even with the Mighty 4AC I managed to keep her in the Red most of the way home from.... a friends place.... Got half way home.... Temp needle decided to make a hard right and sit in the Red. Considering I already had the shits this just made me even worse... It started to cough and chug so I pulled up. Opened the bonnet.....

There was Oil Burnt and caked onto everything in the engine bay. My overflow bottle was boiling and had black in it as well. Left it for 10 mins put some fresh oil and water in it. Tried to start it. It backfired like a MO FO and then wouldn't kick anymore.

So.... Good time for a complete tear down and rebuild.
