Shirp · 01-31-2007, 12:56 AM

My dad is currently finishing the break in point from the re build. When I pick the car up next weekend I'll take some nice shots after its bath. As for now, here are some shots of the car during the rebuild. Enjoy.

CLOSE THAT DECK

what's expected out of the engine build?

MustangMan · 01-31-2007, 11:03 AM

You're missing half an engine!! lol, I kid I kid.

Nice build!

Shirp · 01-31-2007, 11:51 AM

What you mean closed that deck

As for what I expect? This build started off just as a 'why the hell not' project and to make the car run better when I left for school. We weren't really going for any HP gains, but my dad figured I'd get around 20 more or so - I want to find out. However, since we started taking apart the engine I found myself reading more about engines, turbos, performance parts, etc. So later on down the road after I graduate, and more reading, I plan to add bigger cams, better exhaust, a nice header (RMF or Kteller), and what not. Basically create a modest N/A build, but not going hog wild with it ya know?
My 2nd Lude will be a turbo project though

GoldLudeRay · 01-31-2007, 05:32 PM

nice the engine shots are sweet

SquishyPanda · 01-31-2007, 06:29 PM

You're engine bay is way cleaner than mine.... you better stop that shit

Love it. Red cars FTW

What header is that?

Shirp · 01-31-2007, 11:41 PM

Yeah we cleaned up the engine bay with some of the Marino paint. Also whiped(this looks funny) it down some. It is just the stock header. Looks like wood to me, ha.

borcth · 02-01-2007, 12:41 AM

must be nice to have connections and resources like that. Let alone a garage and lift. I gotta park the lude outside in the parking lot with the rest of the old pple that park around here.

Shirp · 02-01-2007, 08:50 AM

Yea. We bought an engine hoist and mount because, gulp, the engine fell off the crap one we rented...

The lifts are simply jack's with blocks of wood on them. heh.

RedLude98 · 02-01-2007, 03:42 PM

Look's like nice work. How many miles are you at anyway's?

Shirp · 02-01-2007, 04:18 PM

I think I am at 158,000-160,000

prelude_h22 · 02-03-2007, 05:32 PM

nice man very clean

Shirp · 03-04-2007, 09:15 PM

Now she's on the road

And at school with me

. I want to drive around just for the hell of it, it feels totally different in terms of power. I love going around corners in 2nd at about 3500 or so, floor it, cabin has this really really nice growl. Totally changes the engine note.

RedLude98 · 03-04-2007, 09:32 PM

Glad to hear it all went well, I wish I had the time money and a place to rebuild mine better than new.

90LudeSiALB · 03-04-2007, 10:44 PM

WOW that is VERY nice man, good job. that engine looks like a showroom engine, damn. very clean car, love the red with the silver sawblades

Wsteun · 03-05-2007, 11:22 PM

Very clean! That looks just like the one my dad had when he owned a new 97. Red, 5sp, no wing, everything!

Chief_Rocka · 03-05-2007, 11:28 PM

Nice man, glad to hear it's on the road going strong.

nyintheca · 03-06-2007, 12:23 AM
