How do you think it's going to look?

HAH. Let me guess, he's that really really skinny kid that always has the undershirt on only, sideways and backwards hat, and is always leaning over halfway in his passenger seat trying to look pissed as hell, with only one arm on the steering wheel that's completely locked straight?

he thinks the smell is coming from the outside

BINGO!...gotta love the exhaust though.

Yep. His exhaust has to be at least big enough so when he hears something rattling, he can crawl up in there and see what's happenin!

And, i'm still new do imports....but i'm learning.

i think i finally figured out how to establish the d15 motor.

Lowes had one outside, it was something like this. Very clean, real nice looking. Definately looks to have potential

i believe they were either JUN or skink cams, and i forget about the pistons, rods etc, all i know is that they costed too much... i sold the car a while back. i didn't do any of the work, because i dont have the tools and was way to busy at the time and would have probably ****ed something up

ah, well that's no fun dude! Half the fun of having a car is doing the work! Losing all that blood, sweat, patience, hair, vacuum lines, daytime, food, relationships....it's all worth it when you start it up and run it around a roadcourse ... mmmmm

Yea i had a lack of tools...so i worked a lot, got me a good set. Bought myself a compressor and some complimenting tools. Then ratcheting wrenches for small spots.

see, the problem was that i worked too much. and any free time i had i would rather spend driving the car, doing shit with people etc. when i buy this M3 or S4 (which ever i decide on) i will try and do most the work myself

See, I leave for a while, and you all want to hate on my car. Unfortunately for you, mine is in to way a ricer, it is clean and tight, and I have done everything to it myself except the fiberglass sub box. Now, I'm going to have to take pictures and post them, so I don't get grouped with all the primered idiots that remove thier interiors because they think they have racecars. I do not have the fastest car around...I know this, and I don't care it is a daily driver that goes 300 miles a week, and I can pass people whenever I want, which is enough.

I wanted one of those Grand Prix's like the original poster has soooo bad when i was 15.

At least youre doing something unique and cool to your car, instead of letting it go to hell, selling it, and being like the rest of the older Prix's around here, with like 8 white trash fat ppl crammed in it, the rear socks saggin and shit.

dont mean to be negative man, but please dont do that to your car. i respect almost anyone who works hard on their car, other than said civic/integra driving wifebeater wearing douchebags, which i why i feel like i gotta plead with ya here.

if you havent already put that on your hood, dont. take that money you have for the paint, and put it into the motor. i mean honestly, its an old school grand prix. as far as cosmetics, with that car i'd probably stop at rims, and possibly a nice, low spoiler. then make it run 10s //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

sleepers kick ***, and that hood will severely decrease your sleeper factor. i'd be impressed if i got my doors blown off by a stock lookin gp, but i'd be laughing at you at the same time with that scoop.

Cool! Thanks for the compliments!

And yea, unfortunately a large, vast majority of older W-Body (more so GP's) are worn to hell, horrid paint, dents all over, 3 different style wheels, and at least 7 people inside of the coupe.

Laugh if you will.

The motor that i'm finishing has quite a bit of good stuff in it. Plenty has gone into it.

Not only the motor, but a partially custom suspension.

For any of you familiar with the old school W's, they have the rear transverse leaf spring (single spring spanning from left to right on the knuckles). I had one CUSTOM MADE that's stiffer than all hell. You could stick 8 people in the rear and by looking on the outside, you'd not even know it. It's so stiff it's awesome.

Then the front has Intrax springs, and the KYB GR-2's all around. MOOG Polyurethane leafspring bushings, Energy Suspension Poly front FE3 sway bar bushings.

The next thing for my suspension is the BMR Fabrication kit (fully adjustable lateral arms, tubular trailing arms, all with poly bushings).

What i'm wanting to do with my driveline is take the front K-frame and the rear knuckles off a 94-96 GP and put'em on the 92. Simple reason being there is a 13" all around Big Brake upgrade kit for the 94-96. The knuckles are interchangeable, so i'm going for that.

Then i just finished up my SS brake line install with new pads/rotors that'll last until i get the 13" upgrade on it.
