i was wondering how you guys were able to see some of these details cause i thought the pic was small, til i realized it blows up more haha.
had to look up what smim is- must be a newer product? the guy i bought her off of supposedly didn't know too much about it- he was a domestic guy and i traded my mustang for her. the guy bought 957 off his friend who had done most of the mods, so he himself didn't know as much about what was done to it. He kept telling me it was just a big 16g til i looked at the serial number on the housing.
supposedly this car has 272's, evo 3 16g, a small front mount, 560cc's, 2 month old shep stage 2 trans and transfer case, hard piping, 4 bolt rear, act 2100 clutch. He told me the turbo, injectors and intake manifold were off an evo 3- not sure about that one. Couldn't tell me about the fuel pump.
the car runs fairly well:
-lifter tick is very much there- will try to change to 15-40 weight, as prev owner claims he uses 20-50...unless everyone here thinks that's a better choice.
-the temp gauge points to the middle pretty quick (in my opinion), unless these cars did that and i dont remember.
-had high idle, tightened vacuum lines and went away. now just stalls when coming to stop sometimes...waiting to change isc as its out of spec.
-ac and power steering removed. hoping by next summer i put both back in. I park downtown Chicago all the time, and no ps is a pain- if i drove in the suburbs more, wouldn't care. getting old, and wanting ac now, sigh.
Im still relearning about these cars...it's been a good 6 years or so since the last one i had, so i'm thankful for the info/help here. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with this purchase, and to be back in a VR4.
