x2

[ShaqThom]

okay so dis is what we working with here
started off like this

now after some DIY mods

I wire over park and indicators and side markers

Bought all the missing pieces etc and upgraded springs
This is hopefully just the start
Gonna carbon fiber wrap some parts and take a lil flash over
Thinking about a lil bike rail too

[Strugglerzinc]

It's always work in progress.

The dude before was seeing problems to get it sold for $60 something K before I bought it so I highly doubt that.

And as Cinco said this is also correct. Engines have a Ideal operating temperature, if this is not obtained then it can lead to issues.

meh the lady on trinicars was calling 65

[Groovemaster]

I looking for some original rims like on shaq's 323, anyone knows where I can get in good condition

[ShaqThom]

So just some more DIY Mods here
Took off Tappit pan cover to do some inspection and decided to bomb spray the damn ting one time!! This is the finish product

Ride height lil nice now if I was living in another country even tobago dred I would of gone lower

I bought the car with a rub down on the left back door!! This idiot on Independence Square yesterday apparently find it wasnt even and finish the job!! The man rub down meh whole left front door too

How much you guys estimate to fix and paint the two doors?

[Wildcard26]

Hmm boy I feel you need to get that car blessed, stop doing any unruly stuff you might be doing in it too if you are and check the straightener too because the price for that might be hard for us to figure out. Like for instance, for some reason the 22R on my car real damn expensive so a spot that might take a $800 to pain normally might cost like$1700 for my car so take to some one and let them tell you for sure.

[Ted_v2]

Might cost like 1500$ to fix that

[cinco]

If ots just the doors u might be surprised. It cheaper to buy 2 doors in your colour n swap it on rather than repaint those

[Ted_v2]

That's a good option as well. You will also have some extra parts. Door regulators ect

[ShaqThom]

Soo If I buy two doors in the bamboo No upholstery, no glass nothing just the frames it might come up to be less than painting!!! jur!!!!
I going an price two doors this weekend

Hmm boy I feel you need to get that car blessed, stop doing any unruly stuff you might be doing in it too if you are

For real boi!! It nice to have motorcar but for some reason I find like my headaches a lil more frequent than usual.

[Wildcard26]

Trust me, with all the crap people does talk about 323, one you properly maintain it, keep a maintenance schedule like regimental, your worries should not be that much and if they come up it would be like "well is about that time anyways." I mean if you now starting off to get things going it will seem so but trust me it levels off. Like with the first Singapore BJ we had man I used to think that same thing fro about nearly a year and a little and after that everything was good with it and was just PM and Routine maintenance, and now with this current one I can't say that it has been that bad (knocks on wood) but then again I am paranoid and OCD and occasionally talk to my car so I try to prevent stress most times.

All youth an youths! Whaz the good word fellas? Long time I eh pass through the dance.
Car looking good boy Wildcard. Use to see it lotsa mornings south when I going to work, passing around southern sales side. Shaqthom, for the while, before you decide to go CAI or anything like that, maybe you could try to find the rest of the intake. There's a bit that attaches to the airbox and sits over your grille. Air comes in from between your bonnet and grille. Looks like you're missing that piece.

Yeah thanks, but when I was in south I never used to have to pass Southern Sales though. Throw up a pic of what you working with to date nah Zorak let's see how it coming along.

[Zorak]

ah goin and wash mih car now!

[ShaqThom]

Eh fellas!! I wanna change out the head gasket from my old zl-de 1.5 engine
It had overheat and i changed out the entire head and block!! so now I gonna and dig up in it!!
I gonna start by changing the head gasket!!
I have all the necessary tools, but what I not sure is what Torque pressure to set the wrench to when tightening the bolts in the cylinder head! I dont want to guess or use an average! I also know that the wrench itself gives a reading from slackening but I still dont want to depend on that!! Any one know where I can find an online owners manual or if anyone has one please check the figures for me!!!
Again its a zl-de 1.5 engine!!

Right, you really had told me some time back that you used to see the car in PAP. I am back in S.F now though and wifey using my car these days since we are short of a vehicle. Make sure and get that shot of the car eh hoss, you know we welcome them here.

[insanelunatic]

meh BJ sounding ah bit like a SUBURU.. lol!! ....guessing meh coilpacks going bad......i heard a rumour they sell these new....who knows where or maybe i'll just cheak d bamboo.

[Wildcard26]

They sell them new but is the aftermarket ones, About $700 for them, they not really all that and the FU one might last better, they sometimes have fitment issues too. You could even see if you get some better aftermarket ones from Rockauto.com and order them down, just make sure it is for the 1.6l as the boot for the 2.0l is longer.
