n00b from OHIO

[trashEH2]

Well, I am back with a new build project/daily driver. I picked up this beauty August 2011. I traded my busted EG8 for it. The kid dogged the hell out of the old and original D15B8. When I got it, it was only firing on 2 cylinders and burnt more oil than you would ever believe.. but I drove it 3 hours home on half of the motor. I parked it for a good 2 months before I decided to tear into it.. so here it is - my build thread.


The day I brought her home.

And how she sits as of today.

Looks like the car could definitely use some TLC.

Did the car come with the eBay strut bars or did you buy them? Personally, I recommend you sell them and stop buying eBay parts. Strut bars do not do a single thing on a stock car. If anything, they should be the very last things you buy when trying to increase handling performance.
