Scir16v's flood car
Hey guys. I had an FRS prior to this one, but had to sell to finance a garage.
I bought this car at Copart auto auction in November. One of those flood cars from Houston.
This is of course trailering it home.
I got this one as it seemed the most promising. The wheels are gram lights 57DR sized @ 18x9.5 +38. Wrapped in Hankook Ventus v12 that are 245/35/18
It has spec-d tuning headlights, which will be getting an HID upgrade in the future. It also has spec-d tailights. and some random led corner markers.
Moving to exhaust, quite surprised to find a Berk muffler delete.
Suspending the car is a set of Tein Flex Z coilovers
As far as stock options, it does have the first gen Bespoke headunit.
I have done some work on the car. I found that it had water oin one of the cylinders. I removed the exhaust manifold and also went through the process of changing the plugs as it has 74k on the clock.
After getting the water out of the cylinders and draining the oil. Putting in fresh oil with a few more detergents(aka Diesel engine oil) I tried to turn it over.
Unfortunately, it punched a hole in the block. Back cylinder, passenger side.
Now that I know there was potential for having a bad motor with any water being in it. It knocked during it trying to startup. I tried to prime it before any startup, but I think it was a goner before then.
So the next thing is to swap the motor out. I have a lead on a 40k mile motor locally and will be getting that after the first of the year.
Updates then
