This will be my official progress/build thread.I'll post everything i've done to my 91 si lude from upgrades and mods to complete swaps.I'll start from the top...
Day 1 (the day i picked her up)
I bought it for $500 with a knocking b21a1 engine(spun main bearing) and an auto tranny.The interior and exterior are in great shape so i figured it would be a good base to start with.These next pics were taken 2 weeks later after slapping some new shoes and installing a short ram intake...
After searching the net on craigslist and local forums i finally found a parts car so that i can do a 5 speed conversion and maybe swap out blocks.Well,after arriving to pick up the parts car i was surprised to discover that it had a jdm b20a in it.So now i'm thinking: ENGINE SWAP BABY, WOO WOO...
I picked this one up for $400.It has the tranny strapped to the engine cause the clutch went on the car and the guy tried to replace it himself but couldn't.So,we strapped it up just so i can tow it out of there.Now that i got my parts car,it's time to go to work.After ordering a new clutch,i begin the swap...
Btw:I did not draw that doodle of a penis on the EM,i bought it like that
Time to roll out the old and roll in the new...
The clutch has not arrived yet but,I can't wait.No time to loose,i'll just have to put it in together with the tranny after i drop the engine in...
The clutch finally arrives the next morning(XTD STAGE 3) and it's off to work again...
Here are some pics of the 5 speed conversion...
Swapped clusters...
I also did a battery relocation to gain more engine bay space for a Cold Air Intake later on...
And last but not least,here is a pic of me and my loving and extremely supporting wife...
Don't laugh at my mechanic clothes,lol.They were given to me by my cousin who was in the military.
I wished i would've taken more pics but,i was in a rush cause it's my daily driver and i had to get it done in 3 days so i can go to work.Not to mention i did it all by myself cause loser friends never showed to lend a hand.Well,thats it for now untill the next project,upgrade or mod.
EDIT***
I have the red '90 lude shell up for a part out.Pm me with what you need.I also have the b21a1 engine and auto tranny.
