hello. i just picked up a 92 gvr4 from a friend who was tight for cash. its kind of in rough shape. the original motor had a broken rod and two spun bearings so the motor was removed and for some reason a purple intercooler? idk. then it sat in his garage untill last week when he asked if i wanted it. my first car was a subaru legacy which i spent alot of time working on and loved the awd. so i said what the heck. $500 landed me the car and two days later i got a motor from a gsx. as of now the car has small surface rust on the deck lid and rock chips all over it. greasy and dirty and filled with parts. the aws system is blocked out but id kinda like to experience that so ill be looking to repair that. i did read the newbie intro and found that helpful. this is the 4th gvr4 ive ever seen and the first im going to drive /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif if you guys have any helpful pointers point away and im looking foreward to getting this back on the road.
a couple quick questions: my car has zero exhaust. any pointers on where / what i can use for her? i can always take it to a shop nearby and have them build one but id like to know from your guys' experience whats going to sound the best. ( no nasty cans yo /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif )
anything in particular i should investigate on the car before putting the new motor in/ i am putting new timingbelt, balance shaft belt, water pump and pullys on beforehand.
thanks guys,i look foreward to some discussion, pics as soon as i can
