EDIT: Got the tranny fixed. Car is running.
So yeah...I have blown my 3rd transmission in this car and do not feel like fixing it again. I'm already well on my way to getting another car and just need to sell this one. I don't have the time to part it out, and I would rather see it go to a member on the board who can use the parts...otherwise it's just going to a junk yard (and that would be a complete waste).
The car is sitting at a local mechanic's shop that I go to get mostly all my work done. (I live in VA)
2001 ZX2
145k~
What I have done to it:
Exterior: Full Buddy Club Kit, J Class Fenders, FG Invader Hood, Erubuni Wing the top half of it is c/f, Tinted windows, 17" Konig Hotswaps (not even 7 months old) Front bumper, fenders, side skirts are molded. Rear reflector bar was taking out and molded over, and back bumper was molded on as well.
Suspension: Ground Control Coilovers, just put on brand new s/r struts (not even 5k on them), have a strut bar laying in the back seat that I didn't have time putting on yet lol.
Interior: Pretty much stock. I do have the reverse indiglo s/r guages from zxtuner, and have the calibration kit on there so the speedo is correct. Basic cd player, nothing special...had a nice stereo in there at one point but that's a long story.
Engine: PnP head, 1mm larger valves, Hi Rev or Max Rev (need to check) cams from zxtuner, adjustable cam gears, new valves, retainers, buckets, etc, replaced timing belt, OBX 4-2-1 header, 2.5" exhaust (not a "true" trubendz, but I did use their resonator, and their muffler from their site and added dual 3" magnaflow tips, looked better in my opinion with the kit) SVT MAF, 42lb injectors, Hotshot CAI, Gude TB All the motor work was done by Turbo Tom not even 25k ago. Nothing done to the bottom end of the motor, still stock.
Issues: Window tint on the back window is bubbling. The front bumper does have some nicks, and cracks in it. Car was a daily driver up and down the highway (drive an hour to and from work everyday), most of my miles are highway. The door panels are a little jacked up where the speakers go (was going to have a friend build me a custom fg enclosure and panel, well that fell through) There is a small hole in the dash, right behind the steering wheel, above the guage cluster, not sure how that got there, but I'm sure a junk yard run could get that fixed. Some of the panels on the passenger side where the engine comp is are missing (Never figured out why Turbo Tom didn't give those pieces back lol)
So yeah, other than that it does not have a tranny that works so the car would have to be towed. Just annoyed at how much I put into the motor and what not and didn't really get my moneys worth. The pics I posted are a little old, but it does show the color, kit, and what not. Keep in the mind those are my old rims the new rims are 5 spokes. I'm trying to get a friend to meet up and take some pics and see if I can post those up soon.
Someone make me a good offer please!!! :D Thanks for looking!
