12-2003 update...
Took the engine out for a rebuild. She was smokin' a bit of blue smoke, though it was the valve stem seals, but come to find out it was the rings.
She's getting some Wiesco 10:1cr pistons w/ millenia S rods. If money is still there, i'm bottle feeding my baby until I'm financial set for boost.
The Beginning...
This is my car as I bought it...basically. By then I had already blown 2 motors. The motor that you are looking at is a direct fit JDM 2.5 v6 engine rated at 200hp as opposed to the USDM 2.5 v6 rated at 164hp. Please don't tell me - I already know my engine bay is dirty
Here's another for shot of the car with just the engine swap done at this point.
