Alright, figure it's time to start one of these. I'll say right now that I have few to no pictures which should change as i get going with the build.
I'm currently in an auto tech course at a local college and this semester I'm in the automotive engines class which also has a lab. I picked up a BP for REAL cheap off of craigslist locally and have just started tearing into it during the lab.
Let me start out by telling you what the motor is going to be going into.
My 1994 MX-3 which currently has the B6 in it. this is how it looked when i first got it after i took the steelies off it and put on some rota slipstreams:
Not too long after that i swapped out the normal H1 bulbs for some HIDs (6k):
shortly after that i decided to black out the turn signals, side markers, and tail lights:
Also swapped out the steering wheel from a '94 MX-3 i found in the junk yard. Cant complain when you get a stock steering wheel for $8:
the most recent maintenance I've done was some seafoam:
and since my water pump decided to go two days ago that just got done as well.
Now the plan for the build is going to be a straight up boost build. I'm thinking something around 9:1 compression, MegaSquirt, and maybe somewhere around 15psi of boost. This may not get updated a whole lot in the next few months but hopefully I'll remember to grab some pictures while im at school. This will be updated when the swap happens though for sure.
I'm very open to comments, ideas, hints, tricks, help, and all the above. lol
Hopefully ill keep all of you entertained,
