Syncro Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 well I've been getting rid of most my projects lately, almost rid of all my motorcycle's. The maroon eclipse was purchased as a DD and nothing else, all I did was swap my interior and spoiler onto it, though it didn't last long. believe me I realized a while ago that I hate having so many projects, but I've wanted a starion since I owned the eclipse, though I'll probably hold off on that deal til' I'm rid of the z, zx, and rx7. I'm at the point where I only wanna work on DSM's, and don't tell me that I'm failing at that because no one could of guessed what was gonna happen to that maroon eclipse's motor, the white one I will admit was to some extent my fault but I was younger then and actually trusted the mechanic we'd taken our cars to for years. I'm planning 2 engine rebuilds this winter, I have no idea when the white eclipse's motor will be built, but I'm not putting another motor in it unless its built to my spec, I will not make compromises on the motor for that car, nor will I rush body work when I don't even have money to finish the whole damn car yet.

Syncro Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Erich, quit picking on this poor kid, he obviously has too much time and not enough brains to know what is practical or looks good. I assume the New Mexican heat combined with some particularly virulent desert fungus has duped his poor adolescent cognitive faculties into thinking this is some sort of sweet project. whatever you say troll, clearly forcing your opinion of what looks good onto others would be the correct approach.

erichwaslike Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 so is the maroon one even a gsx or tsi? awd? auto or manual? Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 so is the maroon one even a gsx or tsi? awd? auto or manual? its just a normal 5speed gs, I was about to put my header and a cold air intake I snagged at the junkyard on it before it kicked the bucket. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Only common in the 7bolt motors Skib. 1st gen DSMs like Syncros are all 6bolt so the biggest issue is to remove all the balanced shaft shit. Even the basic model GS is decent... Just an NA 4G and not the Neon engine in the 2nd gen cars. Keep on keepin on Syncro. Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Well time for a real update, Remade the rear fender wells entirely, got them finished a few days ago and now I've got some foam on there, hasn't hardened yet and the photo's I'm putting up are from just after I put foam on, which was today for some of it, though it has to be done in layers, I've got so many half full cans of great stuff lying around everywhere but they've got no pressure, damn cheap arisol cans.

Good on ya. :thumbup: Yeah, what John said, I for one am very interested to see how this turns out. Sure it's going to look rough at this stage but your working on yer dream and not giving in! I have a feeling this car is going to look bad ass once your done. Keep it up! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 good to have some positive comments. Yeah after getting insulted a couple of times I just stopped caring, hopefully I can get some twaron on those rear fenders soon, right now there's several things going on at once, about to start molding the new hood within the next week or so, hopefully I can have all the body work done soon though, there's just so much sanding and filling to do. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Like Merlin said in one of his posts, Sand,sand,sand,sand,sand,sand....XD When doing custom work like that, yeah, preping and sanding are going to 95% ( and pretty much all body and paint work) is where all the hard is at but well worth it as long as you dont half ass it. Just keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I like that you are spending time on your car instead of so many other messed up things you could be doing. Your not f#cking up a Dime or 610 etc. so people here shouldn't care whether they like it or not. You are learning hands on and that will make you better and wiser in the future. So keep it up and thanks for not cutting up a rare Datsun. Quote Link to comment
