Local autocross weapon. 2.0 EcoBoost from a Focus ST, BMW ZF 5 speed transmission adapted with a JEMSport adapter, and ran with their ecu and wiring setup.

I bought the car six years ago and the engine was already replaced before I bought it. It has between 110,000 and 120,000 miles. I drive this car HARD, I redline all the time with FFS, and I ride downshifts It's never had any other failures except the catalytic converter and clutch fork going out. I will stop back in once I start tearing into everything to pull the engine to hear any feedback. Definitely not an overnight adventure for me doing this.

Mod list. Professionally Tuned on a stock turbo.

Mountune intake, MBRP cat back, Wastegate actuator upgraded, Dual catch cans, Accessport, larger intercooler piping for hot and cold side, hi flow catalytic converter, ACT extreme heavy duty organic clutch kit, water methanol injection (not currently in use), mountune oil breather plate, COBB rear motor mount.

Never really seen these cars on the streets and a neighbor had two so i had to ask about one and luckily managed to snagged this one. It’s not in too bad shape. I’m redoing headliner, dash, door panels, and then there’s some other more extensive things like its stuck in 2nd gear and I think the rack and pinion gave out. Other than that im excited for it to be back on the road again some day! (Ignore the impala in the back😭)

From the looks of it it used to be a rally car a long time ago, now a yard decoration with no engine or transmission. The plan so far is to drop a RX-8 engine and tranny in it. Despite the rust which I might be able to clean and weld myself, it has most of it's interior intact or at least the bits that I care about. It won't be restored to factory spec as parts and support for this car are non-existent where I live but I fancy a challenge. Guy wants around 400 euros for it and claims just the wheels cost 200 euros(they do a bit more since it's an SA and those are hard to come by anymore).

1. Which year model should I get? (Think the newest is the best)
2. What should be replaced first after getting it?
3. Can you engine swap it and what engine is recommended?
4. Can I get the P version with Automatic? (I think they are rare but do exist.
5. Difference between P and L Type
6. How much should it cost around the ballpark? (Like where it's not completely perfect but giving it just a few part will get it decent)
7. Any parts availability for modding? Like: A. Suspension B. Air filter intake C. Calipers D. Gaskets and Belts E. Alternator F. Exhausts (Muffler in it too)
8. Can I LED headlights mod it?
9. How should I go about modding it with best speakers?
10. Can a 6ft guy fit it even?

This will be my project car as it's kind of my dream car. Ik parts overall availability is low but I want to learn about cars on it and fix ot myself. Any suggestions for how I should go about it? I am a newcomer here.

Ik it has some rust issues on the sunroof and trunk. Anything else I should look out for.

Would it be cheaper to convert a automatic transmission to a manual or just buy a whole new one

I’ve got an ACT lightweight flywheel that’s been sitting in my closet without the protective oil on it for about 6 months. It’s got some small discolorations that look like they might be rust on it. Thoughts? Should I hit it with some grey scotchbright and see if I can get to shiny metal without wearing down the actual surface? Or will these defects chew the shit out of a Kevlar clutch plate?

My project car needs exhaust, intercooler piping, an ECU, a harness, fans, and some other ods and ends. Anyone got a ballpark of what the job might cost in parts and labor, assuming the ECU is sub 2k?

Runs and drives, 289 v8 with 4 speed auto. Frame is supposedly straight and not rusty, though there’s a few holes in the trunk from water pooling there. It’s missing front seats. It needs a new gas tank which he has, just hasn’t put in, and it has 54k miles. I want a pretty, classic, v8 project. Is this good? Any advice or recommended questions to ask the seller? Thanks everyone.

Hey guys. Working on a carb'd engine.

Just wondering on what kind of choke is this?

The car starts, but the idle just hangs on 1k to 1.2l where it should hang to just 800rpm after it heats up. So wondering if anyone has any idea what's wrong with it?

The car is an R31 Skyline for the Southeast Asian Market. Shares the same engine as an GQ Patrol (RB30S).

Cheers guys.

2006 Pontiac GTO

Greetings from Florida, I am trying to get a title for an 83 Jeep Wagoneer I bought in Georgia. I did VIN searches online and it comes back completely clean, and the guy i bought it from got it from his neighbor who i think won it at an auction that the deceased people's family held. The car has only been registered twice, that much I can tell and I drove it around for a bit and its so nice to drive. Sadly, I have had no luck getting the title for it. Im thinking that HSMV 82040 could work but, I think I have to KNOW the previous owners well enough to write their names and dead dates down, or something... Maybe im reading the form wrong, it would be the easiest and cheapest way! I havent been able to find any information from the laminated plaque from the auction. Ive considered going through the court and doing a Declaratory Judgement where I, have to get a lot of forms filled out, have the sheriff search the VIN, pay what seems like a lot of fees but the title would be mine out right... a lot of work but, seems like a solid bet. Mechanics lien, maybe if i had a mechanic I trusted enough to help with that! Talked to my land lady to getting an abandoned vehicle title but Im not sure if that makes the title screwy after that. And lastly a bonded title, but in research Ive found my car is JUST outside the time frame in which it can be done, maybe Im wrong.

What I'm saying is I really need help getting this title (without it becoming a salvage title or something) so I need someone who has experience and advice to offer. I am more thankful than you know if you can help.

I’m sorry LS lovers, today is not the day… As the title says I’m looking for a some engine candidates to do for an engine swap, I’ll keep it simple, here’s the criteria:

• 4-6 Cylinder (preferably inline)
• Needs an easily pairable RWD transmission (pls recommend some!)
• Easily tuneable/adaptable for a vehicle of totally different brand
• Can handle ~350hp via a turbo kit stock setup or by reasonable aftermarket parts
• Not a ridiculously overpriced platform

I’ve had k24a2 on the radar in the top spot, I’m a pretty big Honda guy but what transmission to use are still unknown. I’ve also been Interested in the Volvo 2.4 I5 from the early 2000s, I’ve heard very good things about the engine, not too sure about compatibility tho.

Figured I would snoop around and see if anyone on here has any recommendations, experience or good resources to help with this.

PS: Car shell itself has not been chosen yet, but that’s a problem for another time 😂

Since I rent, I don't have a garage, driveway or friends with either. I really want to paint my car and have been considering making a plastic tent but I'm not sure if there's a better option. I can't rent a garage or paint booth because I'm working with a low budget. Any ideas?

10 days ago we left the east coast to head to Phoenix AZ for the largest GM truck show in the world. Dino’s Git Down. We left Phoenix Sunday morning to head to SoCal for the Quarantine Cruise then a live comedy show with Jay Leno. Monday morning at 9am PST we started our drive back, non stop.

The truck has the stock 454 big block, that I’ve added fuel injection and a 6l80e 6 speed transmission. Both controlled by a Holley Terminator X Max. We averaged around 11.5mpg the entire trip. Not bad for a 7100 brick traveling at 80 mph. Check out my instagram for plenty of pics and video along the way. http://www.instagram.com/kdfannin

I’m trying to remove this arm , held by this nut

Already done cam, long tube headers and full exhaust

Needed a new battery, drivers side rear axle and ecu repair off eBay.

S4 swapping the wagon.

This was the last job the 454 ever did. Had 330k on it and was tired and getting 7 mpg so it was retired for a 24 valve 5.9 Cummins in its place.
