The New G-ride

my new project 1987 ca20e auto "which sucks but oh well" paid $500 for it
and 150 for shipping a 176 miles one way. which is a good deal, cuz i would have
to get a uhaul dolly, find a truck "pain in the ass" gas money, so a
good deal.

its running like shit. did some tests

first i checked the fuel filter. it good, so it getting a good amount of fuel,
clean to

then, checked for spark pulled no.1 intake plug wire and grabed random plug a
had around, hooked it up, gounded it on the head and no spark tried no.2 no
spark, tried exaust side and got spark

then i tested the intake coil which should be between 8,500 to 12,500 ohm's
says the book it was like 1250 ohm so bad coil

had to order it like always, i hate living in a rural area, so tomarrow it
will be here and im in busseness








whats up with the hood? i thought that the ca20 had a flat hood and this one is raised.

All Mk2's have the bump hood.

Hmmm some hype must of took the rest of the exhaust. Great deal on the g-ride though and the bay looks hella clean  !

sweet deal you got.that basically looks like a SE with no lip kit.

Bah... OBD2 restrictive bullshit. KA24DE can be had in OBD1 or 1.5 and a whole lot easier to swap. Modern engines are too dependent on the entire chassis harness, especially the NGC computer cars.

Just cut your Mark II grille to fit the Mark I lights. Lots of people have cut the slatted grille short to work with the Mark I cornerlights. Looks pretty good IMO.

oooooohhhh...its pretty..especialy for 500$

Very nice dude, good job!

thanks, it was ur idea  but how did ur front setup work out? any rattling? how did u setup the helper spring? was it on top of the coil spring or on the bottem

i got more parts today. i got some short rear shocks from summit for a chevy pick up, i got something in the works, but its a secret

On the top, just like you have pictured

Did you see my photos on my photobucket site?  I already have all that stuff loaded up but have not posted it yet on the build thread.  What I did looks exactly like what you did!

did u get any rattling?

I do sometimes if the upper strut nut comes loose, I have yet to figure a way to tighten it properly, as it just spins in the camber plates when i try and tighten.  Just go thru and double check to make sure all the nuts are tight, and that the tube itself isn't loose in the housing.  When you tightened the top threaded nut on the housing, did it go snug against the insert?  As in, the insert did not move around at all?

as for the insert nut, i got it tight and in have no movement in the insert and i have the top mount nut good and tight. but im worried about when hit a bump or something and the car bounces up and the load is take off the coil-over is it going to rattle?

The coilover's are lookin sweet. Im jealous!!!

Interesting.  I'd be a little concerned about the metal tabs bending, but the concept is definitely there..

You don't need to worry about the coilover coming unloaded over a bump, see, you did it right with the helper spring, as that will keep everything in place if it were to come unloaded.  Regular bumps won't really cause this condition anyhow, its only if your car were to get some solid air or when you lift it off the ground for service will the helper spring actually function, otherwise its totally compressed.

the metal taps are pretty strong, if there not ill just use thicker metal, but i think its stong enought, cause it doesnt hold that much weight

super good job

today i test fix the adj. shock braket & it looks good  i'd have it done by now, but it hard to get myself out there in the cold & snow   & do it

well since im board and i never introduce myself. my is john, wow that name is rare lol, im 19years old, i sever in the cal army national guard, as a all wheel vehicle mechanic, I've been i 2 years now only 4 more to go, thank god!!i haven't been deployed, yet!
i also work as a night watchmen for my local lumber mill.

me
  so i sold that badass ride for $600   and bought a 89 chevy s10 4x4 for $700, sold that and bought a ford probe GT, the worse mistake of my life!!! i will never buy a another ford in my life! my luck with probes have not been the greatest, 2 motors and 1 rebuild and 3,000 grand down the drain not including the $800 i paid for the car. sold that peace of, u know.   bought a nissan and never looked back

the vids you posted your car doesn't even sound like a ca20 unless you already swapped in the ka then I'm a dumbass and missed that part haha

which wheels would look better?

i like both but the first one is my fav.

15x7 for the first     $95 a rim
15x6.5 for the second   $74 a rim

Have you gotten to drive your car that you put the thrush muffler on yet? I did the thrush muffler with 2.5 all the way from the o2 housing and it sounds good.... Besides the fact that a manifold stud stripped out causing a leak from the engine bay   So I'm impressed with the sound, I was just curious of what you thought about it.

rage
please, dont buy either wheel
get some grid off roads or something in 16x8 +10


just say yes

tweaker_s12
i love the way mine thrust sounds, i dont like a loud ass exhaust. yes i did get do drive it a little, just around my shop and down the street, but not that much.
i wish i could buy something like that, but im stuck with something cheap,something under $100 a rim.

SprockCapn
let me check. I think your can find those grid's for around 100 a rim. They are Rota's.

Edit: Just checked. They are a little more... Around 500-600 for 4. Still a pretty good deal if you've got the money.

tweaker_s12
for $664 i can get wheels and tires 15x7 + 225/50/15. with is a pretty good deal to me and i was thinking about the snow flake drag D19

D19

they look awesome

The 4X4-ness???    I need to quit being lazy and get some recent pictures. But I am liking them so far so I think the DR-19's will work good for ya.

tweaker_s12
i have changed my mind again. im just like a dam women   jp. crown vic wheels, the 16x7 YEAH BOI.

got some goodies, a fuse block from summit($14.39) and a over flow tank from napa($9.95). did some work on my wiring harness, wired in my fuse block. ran out of space on the fuse block and out of connectors. so im not done with it.
