I just want to say before you look at my car, this isn't and will not be one of those ricers you see going down your street with a big spoiler, cheap body kit and lights and does 0-60 in 14 seconds. I started from the motor and i plan to work my way out from there, with over 100+ hours under the hood of this car. After i get the motor exactly where i want it and tuned, then ill work on the body. Looks are the last thing on my mind during this project.

With that said..

 

Ill have updates as soon as i can. Including a video.

Stay Tuned!

A little bit about my Rex;

I bought the car with a D16z6 head on a ZC block in it, stock cable tranny, T3/T4 turbo kit, and it was lowered with some cheap springs that were already fully compressed. It had a set of GSR 15" wheels that had a great paint job, no exhaust, and a superb interior with brand new Si seats. The battery was relocated behind the passenger's side seat and the windows were tinted to shit.
Now when i tore apart the motor i found a bunch of things that needed to be replaced from gaskets, to pistons etc. The intercooler piping was composed of exhaust pipes and a few odd stainless steel intercooler pipes, and the manifold was welded to pieces leaking horribly. The window tint was shit, with big gaps and tears. This car was badly maintained, but thanks to a few dollars its been fixed up. So take a look at the work, and when she's done ill be sure to have more pictures up.

So far I've invested roughly $6000+, which is a good start.

 

I must owe credit where credit is due,

My brother: who did 98% of the mechanic works

Neal: For the time spent doing wiring research

Me: For wiring the the car 3x, and funding the project
