Suprahooked's Pearl White Build Thread
- Thread starter suprahooked
- Start date
I just saw this thread last night and started from the very beginning and read EVERY page. Impressive work. Seems like every time you had a problem big or small it'd be fixed within a week. I'm not a fan of the wheels but they really do look good on your car.
Do you ever plan to dyno the car just to see it's current output? And why are thinking about selling?
Random thought here lol, I thought sunroof was only available on the 90+. Lately I've been seeing pre89's with sunroof. Hmmm.

So seeing as im kind of continuing this build where John left off, I figure ill just append to this thread as I work on the car. Other than just cleaning her up I plan to buy and install the following items in the next month or two:
-AEM TruBoost EBC
-some nice racing seats to replace the OEM ones (if anyone likes theirs and wants to recommend i'm open to suggestions!)
-oil change
-install greddy pyrometer if i can get the sensor to fit somehow (its too long and runs into the DP, are there shorter or right angle sensors available??)
-possibly do pads and rotors because they look a little tired
-wire up and mount the wideband
6 weeks till spring :icon_bigg

Got my Tru Boost in yesterday and went about opening up the gauge pod. Ripped out all the vampire clips because I hate those damn things so a little rewiring is in order... pics to come soon. Also John I hate you for using red wire for literally everything lol :asshole:
Very pleased with my progress at this point. got the EBC fully installed and wired up the rest of the gauges. Also super pumped because I was able to pull apart the back of the EGT sensor and get it short enough to screw into the bung John had already welded. It fits nicely actually. I realized the wideband is not a gauge type wideband so Ill have to buy one of those as well. Other than that just added some breathers to cover up the open PCV ports and did some more cleaning. Ive been looking at attempting to put a headliner in it (its missing), and remanufactured ones seem to be completely unavailable. Anyone know where i can get one of these? Even just the board with some shitty fabric that I can reupholster would be fine....
Tru Boost solenoid installed
EGT in after many tribulations
well they all light up at least
