xSocialx-94 GS K8

[xSocialx]

Ok guys this will be my first ever project car, it's going to take a long long time to do a lot of mods but anything I mod will be posted in here. Thanks for reading! Love constructive critisism.

First off I went with the 90-93 Integra CAI so for I've takin out the air box and air tube leading to the TB. Pics are as followed.

[Daninski]

Take a pic of the car lets see it. We love pics. What are your future plans for the cars, any wish list, mabe a KLZE install in the futre, maybe a turbo?

[Savin]

That rust isn't looking too pretty, but I can't wait to see what you do to it. And as daninski stated: "We love pics"

[xSocialx]

here ya go






and heres with new tail lights

[xSocialx]

and before people start snapping on me for letting the rims sit on flat tires, it's ok there going anyway haha I just need to wait till' november till I get my g2.

I have been reading so much information latley it's all kinda on the fly right now. I want to put some headers, a free flow cat, full exhaust, front and rear strut bars, eventually KLZE swap and maybe a turbo. I have an apprenticeship lined up for about january or febuary in Alberta, so then I'll be making a lot of money.

[Savin]

I wasn't going to snap, I was just merely going to inform you that you had low tires. I have no room to complain anyway, I got 2 donuts for back tires and 2 steelies with the metal belts showing for fronts

The car does look nice though, dirty, but nice.

Oh, close that gas door thing, it looks open anyway.

[xSocialx]

yea you know the little knob on the inside that holds tha cap closed? It's ceased so I think maybe some WD40 might help?

[SuperK]

The little knob pops the door out. It's not seized.

there's a flimsy piece in front of the little knob. Just bend it back some until it closes flush.

So I'm doing the good old Cold air intake from an integra seen as how no-one makes one for an mx-3 :@ picks up soon

[xSocialx]

the "Good old" integra intake didn'ts work. I pulled it out of a 94' which I thought would work but it didn't. Anyways I got some new parts in today. Nothin special just so I can finally get my car on the road.

In the picture is a drivers side outer tie rod, stock muffler with the additional piping, ceramic pads.

[tmac4t4]

why didnt the intake work...and why are you putting on an intake if your putting on a stock muffler?? open that thing up..

[tmac4t4]

i miss my rims...POST SOME PICS!!!
please

So I know its been awhile and that all the earlier stuff is practically irrelevant.
In the past 2 years the mx went through ALOT since those posts. I started a job framing which drove me all around dirty a** job sites the niagara region. So essentially my car was a work truck and took quite a beating. But she finally put a rod through what seems to be the oil pan and i havent touched the car since. In the two year period she had:
-Two black eyes
-Blacktail lights
-Rims
-OEM Clutch
-Outer and inner tie rods
-Brakes and rotors all 'round (OEM)
-Fuel pump, filter and tank
Basically just up keep.

With that being said, a couple days ago I picked up an engine from a guy in Toronto. Figured out its a newer 2000+ ZE from a millenia. Pictures on this thread.

After the mx blew I bought a 1995 GMC Sonoma SLS 4.3L carborated 5 speed. So the mx is safe from job sites.

Anyway I'm posting pictures of her current condition, and I'll post as much as i can about what's next. Which at this point seems to be KL31 cams!






This is after the motor blew and I had it towed and stored but they buggered my front lip and bumper (not seen)

[xSocialx]

So a couple small updates. Started sanding down my throttle body. Started with 80 grit and gradually moved up to 220 grit. If you do decide to do the same thing, be really careful with the coarser grits. To much pressure and you may scratch to deep and it takes forever to sand out. I ran out of time at 150 so its not totally done but man does it look good.

Before


And so far


Also I started preparing the car for transplant. Took all the airbox components out. The disty is out and im currently cleaning it. Took out the Rad support, radiators, and labeled most of my connectors.

Disty is taking forever to clean

Looks messy!

I know exactly how much work all of that is, props for taking the time.
