My ED6... weekend racer on a budget

[M.Doban]

Thanks guys. You're awesome.

So I have done no work on the new engine because of finals and lack of motivation. But we did get a Christmas tree!




I'm also making another uke. I like this one a lot better. It's seriously so much fun to work with wood as opposed to steel. It's just different. I love it. (There's no bridge or strings in this photo but they're on now.)

Lovin it man!

So I got up early yesterday because I only had an hour or so to work. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE. Let me tell you.

Doing some cleaning.






So the goal for the morning was to plasti-gauge the mains.
Spec is .0009 - .0017

Tighter than that...


More loose than that. Looks like it's all good, kids! (So were the other four mains.)





Lens flare time.

Thanks a heap for all the compliments, guys! Means a lot, you know?

Okay so I got the other cylinders honed out and cleaned the block off just because I'm anal and bare aluminum is just... AMAZING.






Then I dug some slugs out from my spare parts pile...mountain.






They were pretty crusty looking so I pulled the rings off and cleaned them up.






I couldn't for the life of me get a ring off this one. It was so crusted on. So it's soaking in ATF for the night.




Here's the head that's going on as well as the intake and one of those cranks there. Don't know which one yet. (There's a third one somewhere)

poop, take me for a ride before you put the other motor in and sell it.

[FunfGang]

Thanks, buddy! You're so full of awesome! Super happy you got Gretta back on the road!

For now

[M.Doban]

rear wheel drive is cool wheel drive.

Hopefully it goes to a good home, moving on to something bigger and better i suppose?

For sure! Yeah, I totally plan on getting a 240Z. Also maybe an E30 . Can't wait!

Yes! Nice to see you making progress, man.

What a great ride.
Though when I was your age I spend my time with girls.

Thanks! Ha! Yeah, for some reason that never works out for me :/


Alright... well I think it's come time to get rid of the old girl. Front wheel drive is for the birds. So I'm building a new motor; an internally stock LS-vtec. I'm going to put the this motor in the car, sell the current engine/turbo setup, and then sell the car.

This is the new block. It needed a hone so I got out all mah tools n'at.



I got the first cylinder done and that's all I could do for the day. All the parts are in the mail so this should be done very quickly (hopefully).
