subie3429 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nice find! What's wrong with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Blown engine. It was overheated twice to the point where it seized up... but it still starts right up and doesn't sound very bad... Tough little engine. I'm going to rebuild it someday as a learning experience. But for now it's getting a spare ej22 I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 WOW! Great score! Thanks! From your avatar I see you have the same car! I've dreamed about a black LGT for literally years, I'm so glad to finally have one!! When it gets warmer out I'm going to swap in a 5speed.

98LGTLover Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nice! I think you've already seen/heard about the one I picked up a couple weeks ago! There must be a thing for good deals on Black GT's right now? I was figuring that you'd do a 5 speed swap since your other cars are 5 speeds.

987687 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Some time this week I need to drive 2 hours to pick up a single port exhaust... Maine is huge. haha. I've been thinking if the ej22 would line up with the ej25 mani, and I could just plug off the unused port. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yup same car just a manual non limited! Awesome cars btw... I can't wait till mine runs! Although, I'm not going to reg/insure it till my other cal sells. Had some issue with doing the timing belt on my swap motor tonight. The tensioner bracket stripped out. So I went to pull the ej25 bracket. Threads came out with the tensioner bolt But there's enough clearance behind to just get a longer bolt and use a nut, so off to the hardware store tomorrow, then I can get her all timed up and ready to drop in Biggest thing I'm not looking forward to is torque converter bolts.... How the heck do you access those without pulling the intake mani!?! I've only ever worked with manuals before, I kinda hate autos, this was just to good to pass up...
