  1. Makes me miss mine. 640/1k 94k miles summit white, Interior/exterior 9/10 zero frame rot. Just needed put together with a new engine harness. It went to a good home/owner in the Mansfield area.
  2. Posting for a buddy so I will provide all the info I have. My buddy bought a 88 crx with a b20/b16 head combo. Ever since he bought the vehicle it's had a nasty idle surge and has been trying to get it to calm down. So far we have done the following Bled the cooling system Removed TB, fast idle, IAC and cleaned them, Adjusted fast idle and idle set screw Sprayed break clean for leaks, as well as smoke. He is going to replace the fast idle but he is unsure which kind to buy since he is unfamiliar with Hondas and he is unsure which parts interchange with this head. Which IAC,FIAC, throttle body, will work with a JDM B16 head, casting number PR3-4. Because he will replace both of need be, just unsure where to look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I got a felpro gasket kit that came with the vehicle brand new un opened. I'm not worried about tax and title as I only paid $300 for the vehicle as it sits. Just the price of a reman head on average is roughly $375-$450 plus a radiator as well and a timing kit. I'm sure I'll have less or a little over a grand in the car. My issue is, the time to get it there because funds are limited, plus working 2 jobs in the mechanical field...the last thing I want to do is work on a vehicle on my 2 days off. I have been trying to figure out if the 93+ cylinder heads are a direct bolt on, it's also a 2.6 but the combustion chambers are different. It will add a little more power and those generation heads are not as prone to cracking. I registered on some trooper forums but still no response from anyone. If the head is a for sure bolt on no modification then I will sink the money, I just don't want to have to deal with this issue every other month with the older style heads.

  4. Here is a picture of the truck. The body is really nice. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160802/5fe4fea4e1477410e638d92fc24fb913.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It's a 4 door. The body and interior are mint but the frame has seen better days. It would for sure need patch work after this winter.
  6. It's FI. I got the head off last night and cleaned up at work and found cracks in cylinder 2 and 3. Im debating on keeping it and sinking the money into it because it's an ugly vehicle but cool looking. Plus I can't drive my TA In the winter. I've been doing some reading and people have swapped the late 90s model heads on them because they upped the compression and where not as prone to cracking when hot.
  7. So I just purchased a 88 Isuzu trooper with 2.6l 4cylinder in it. It needs a headgasket. Are these a pain to work on. Does anyone have expirence with these cars. The car will strictly be a winter beater. I paid $300 for the car and it has brand new bfg all terains 1 owner. 116k miles. I have read that the heads have tendencies to crack and if that's the case I'll scrap the car and sell the rims/tires.
  8. I've seen them on Amazon as well, that's what it's looking like. I was just hoping to be able to put on my full exhaust this weekend.
  9. Looking for a 98-99 3 inch y pipe for A Trans Am. I'm not looking for high dollar brand, an eBay/pacesetter would be just fine. Will pick up. Just Trying to avoid ordering one online.
  10. This came across my feed on Facebook. http://www.autoblog.com/2016/06/27/mid-engine-chevy-corvette-captured-in-broad-daylight/#slide-3962549
  11. +1 on the cordless ratchet.
  12. Milwaukee fuel series. My 3/8 m18 will take off and put on wheels, I've used it in a pinch on my TA. But the 1/2 impact is a beast, used it to take lugs off a tractor trailer. Kills the battery but it can be done. I'm unsure what warranty is offered through the store but mine came with a 5year warranty no questions asked on the body and 2years on the battery when ordered through cornwell. In the 1 year I've owned my impacts, guy I work will has sent his snap on lithium in already after 6months and it's still acting up.
