cfinch how much do you want for a pair of lca's?

LOUD240 · 06-14-2009, 08:25 PM

ok so when is the next meet?

spooled240 · 06-14-2009, 11:17 PM

saw your car today dino, looks like it's coming along nicely..you just need paint lol :P

LOUD240 · 06-14-2009, 11:23 PM

paint is over rated!! lol

primer is paint

cfinch · 06-15-2009, 01:44 AM

Yeah I figured it would be an easy fix... It's not uncommon thats for sure...

Spare lca's? How does free sound?

cfinch · 06-15-2009, 02:01 AM

spooled240- I got a good ka bottom end with 46k on it... I could rebuild a cylinder head then toss on a metal headgasket, arp studs and that should be good to go for your setup as long as it's properly tuned... I got a new full timing chain set for it too I just picked up. I was gonna assemble it this week for a turbo ka setup but I just picked up a bmw I want to build instead... I could possibly have a motor together for you pretty quickly... A ka trans should be easy to pick up or I do have some friends that work over at A-Tech and build trannies... I could get one of them to do a rebuild on the side...

spooled240 · 06-15-2009, 03:08 PM

how much would you want for it?. A few ppl on nico were telling me that stock internals would be fine for my 300rwhp goal(stock rods, stock pistons I doubt they will break anyway). I'm gonna go ahead and probably do a cheapo rebuild on my ka with new rings and gaskets but i'll def keep your ka in mind.

cfinch · 06-15-2009, 05:28 PM

Yeah I wouldn't try pushing over 300hp but I mean thats still alot of power for a street car. It really boils down to good tuning at that point.

You have to figure out why the motor has low compression in that cylinder... You have to worry about damage to pistons and scoring of the cylinder walls... It's not always as easy as slapping in new rings if you want to do it right.

I'll have to think about how much it's gonna cost me to get the whole motor together... I'm thinking some where around a grand? I figure like $300+ to have the head rebuild and the valves adjusted... Prolly like $250 for a metal headgasket & arp studs. Then I need misc gaskets, valve stem seals, full timing chain kit with new sprockets/guides/tensioners/chains etc... New front main seal plus assembly of everything and a block with 46k on it which you can see the car it came from and carfax it to verify... I'd say around a grand would be more than fair...

spooled240 · 06-15-2009, 06:20 PM

the motor began pinging on the 4th cylinder at 12psi but it runs fine at lower boost, I dunno why. Maybe i have a dirty injector?

but hopefully the cylinder walls are messed up and I can just get in there with a flex hone and re-ring it.

LOUD240 · 06-15-2009, 07:18 PM

Cfinch the lca's would be cool I just want a set so I can powder coat them and bushings etc tell me when and where
Thanx
Dino

cfinch · 06-15-2009, 11:45 PM

LOUD240 · 06-16-2009, 12:34 AM

Would the fiberglass hold pretty well? I need this lip to be kinda stong and able to scrape a little lol

cfinch · 06-23-2009, 10:17 AM

lol I'm not giving away anything worth a shit...

LOUD240 · 06-23-2009, 02:09 PM

Josh yeah the glass will hold up just fine and I can do it this weekend

cfinch, that cross member was bent pretty bad its all good got a straight one over at pick a part on saturday should I chrome it? lol

upsdude · 06-23-2009, 08:58 PM

is there a decent pick-a-part or boneyard up here?

OLDSCHOOLRICER · 06-23-2009, 10:24 PM

i used to live out there. and i used to go to the friday meet's at LOWES. some of you might know me i used to drive a grey turbo mazda protege. anyways are the meets still going on or is there new meet's now?

xBtony · 06-23-2009, 11:52 PM

Hmmm...I live in the AV (antolope) And Im down to go to any meets out here...Lol...Post if anything is going down...

cfinch · 06-24-2009, 11:49 AM

There is a pick a part on santa fe... They used to have a ton of shit when it opened but now it's pretty slim...

The friday night meets always have been horrible and always will be... I remember when all the douche bags used to meet up at del taco...

Silviaoneday · 06-24-2009, 06:27 PM

LOL the meets have always been pretty crappy here. I just wanna go out and cruise with no hondas and shit, pretty annoying.

LOUD240 · 06-24-2009, 07:57 PM

I have been trying to start one up here but nobody ever seems interested

upsdude · 06-24-2009, 09:34 PM

i'm interested

spooled240 · 06-25-2009, 04:43 PM

that pick a part on santa fe had some clean hatches in there when they first opened up: dual cam, m/t, complete, no dents/rust with the pignose lip...was a shame.

i thought the super target idea was good location but we never got it going. My car is gonna be down for a good while since I'm pulling the motor and trans out for a rebuild.

LOUD240 · 06-25-2009, 07:17 PM

Im down for a weekly meet at the super target , over near the Subway what night you all thinking? How's wednessday sound?
