(edit, don't use facebook friends for an image host)

Well since this was for sale and my graduating issues with my firebird and just recently firebird blown a head gasket, I picked up this old Blue Demon.

This just became my restore project thanks Mr and MS Sideways for allowing me to purchase this fine hatch, it's clean, it's nice, and it will decimate all when I put a few G's in her and overnite a few parts from Japan.

Going to full on restore her with the ca20e for now, when I rack up on the cash next year she will get a ka24de upgrade. 0 Plans to drift this one as this is going to be my daily driver that I want to take long road trips on with.

make a list of parts you need. I have the intake piping and maf for sure

Wonderingraven · 12:40:45 AM / 30-Sep-13

Parts in the need so far:

1) Brake Master Cyl
2) Clutch Slave ?!? I need to look at why it's just dangling down there.
3) Plug wires
4) Battery
5) eFans (because, the clutch fan is just janky)
6) vaccum hoses I should have 90% of these hoses from the inspection that I have done.
7) Lugs

Tires
9) Intake box
10) Extra Ehaust piping to connect from the headers to the rear end DC 4inch tip exhaust pipe. ( or might switch with my fairlady silva project. )

Need to inspect is the brake pads & rotors, transmission lines, fuel pump.

I also need to set the timing since the dizzy wasn't pushed down and it could be out of timing. Yay for my trusty timing light.

Then she will be road worthy.

edit: I was just typing that up lol.

do tell

Wonderingraven · 11:43:13 PM / 02-Oct-13

Well at this point it's to get her running first, she needs to be reliable. Don't care about the power band at the moment, lol.

I might throw in a surprise and pick up something special for this one. But I will not give out what I have in store for her.

I should have a stock exhaust manifold somewhere

Wonderingraven · 11:46:59 PM / 02-Oct-13

I have the stock exhaust manifold, it is just missing that cat converter. Does it really need one though?

IggyEGuana · 11:48:24 PM / 02-Oct-13

do you want it to pass smog legit? then yes. Just to drive no

Post Merge

and i might have a cat somewhere too

Getting classic vehicle plates, I will have to come by when you don't close and see what I can piece together.

The majority of the list is above. I have no free time this week to put it on stilts and inspect the underside.

turbo-s12 · 12:15:06 AM / 03-Oct-13

Ubstill gotta do smog on a 86 in vegas that's wierd

Wonderingraven · 12:16:00 AM / 03-Oct-13

If classics no, unless I drive over 5k in a year in mileage.

IggyEGuana · 01:44:52 AM / 03-Oct-13

Wonderingraven · 01:48:12 AM / 03-Oct-13

Sweet so am I

sideways_s12 · 08:49:52 PM / 03-Oct-13

the slave cyl is dangling becuase I didn't hook it up it was fine when i drove it 4 years ago but should probably be replaced. I see you kept the name lol Mybe I should open my old thread and merge them.

Wonderingraven · 08:50:55 PM / 03-Oct-13

LOL, well I plan to replace all Master and Slave trying to make all new belts and hoses.

Wonderingraven · 11:06:26 PM / 25-Oct-13

Update
A box full of goodies, she will fire up this weekend and idle.

sideways_s12 · 08:18:08 PM / 26-Oct-13
