Looks good man! i gotta get on that asap damn, and What did you end up wrapping the door with?

[juicejax]

Black vinyl fabric that I got from JoAnns...was only $11 a yard...you only need around 2 yards for all four doors

Bought an 02 GTZ for 400


She's a fixer upper, possibly skipped timing. Clean straight body, clean title, 143k, no tears in leather will need hood and bumper due to small brawl with light pole (prev owner). Looking to flip it.

GTZ was only ever offered with the V6

[demond0d5]

Yeah I thought about that right after I said it XD

But if he is replacing the motor anyway could be going with 2.4 right? I assume the mount locations and everything are the same (obviously not trans/axles/etc but still) never looked into the 2.4's so I have no clue

Different subframe, ECU, and wiring harness. I wouldn't even consider it.

[demond0d5]

Oh yeah forgot about the electrical but didn't know that on the subframe! Good to know

Yeah... a lot is differ between the two. And depending on the state, swaps like that aren't allowed. I could swap a 4g63t in place of a 4g64 but I couldn't do the v6 swap since the car was born a 4 cylinder.

Oh really??? Damn Feds XD

Is that just for inspection stuff and when they look up the VIN and see 4cyl or something

Make a GTZ a 2.4? Lulz!

I'm trying to get it going with the least amount put in so I can sell and profit the most.

If you don't have valves/don't feel like pulling a yard head off for two or four I've got a few engines worth of them in a box.

[oakrdrs187]

I will definitely keep that and the sale thread you have here in mind. I won't bea tearing into it just yet. I'm moving in the next few weeks so it will be put off until then, it just so happened I found the car on CL and picked it up before it was gone.

I'll hit you up if anything comes up, first im pulling the intake, valve covers and releasing the rollers to close all the valves then I'll have the balls to spin the motor so I can do a leak down test at each cylinder and take it from there.

Pull the rockers off, pull the spark plugs. Take a section of hose that fits on the plug tubes and blow into the cylinders, quickest way to find bent valves.

^^^^ if you have a compression tester extension for OHC engines those can be used as well given they don't have a valve in them. I prefer it since its less likely to leak.

Of course if your valves are as bent as mine its pretty easy to just pull the valve covers off.

If the rockers have a bunch of slack in them there is a pretty good chance they are bent.
