Ya the wiring in this car is possibly the most shotty bit of ghetto-osity I have ever seen. Even the stereo system was scary to remove . . . . Ryan you need to post the fuse pic from last nite....?

**TROLL** · 07-30-2007, 10:28 AM

haha yeah i saw the car in person and in pics but for some reason i keep calling it a GC, woops.
but the rest of my statement is true... things are about to get a lot better for this car.

Wow... just... how does... wow...
She could have bought an actual WRX for what its going to cost to make all that right again.... Or are you guys treating it as a charity case cause she got ripped so bad?

mrchariybrown · 07-30-2007, 10:47 AM

Oh dear god. That looks worse than the used DSM I bought... and that's saying a lot! Good luck

Good luck dude.

If I was working at an independent shop and this came in I would say leave. Gotta make the right choices to make money, this would be the wrong choice.

Hahaha Area1320 is a professional shop and doesn't discriminate on age, sex, religion etc. but I do. =)

I am sure Ryan wants to keep this on topic though. The wiring isn't much of a problem since all of that needs to be replaced anyway with this swap. The car is a perfect candidate for a swap meaning it is a perfect body and interior. This thing is going to be hawt and I don't like subies to begin with.

THere is nothing I hate more than working on hacked up cars. Most of the worst cars that come into my shop are DSM's. Those little POS's will have 400hp but leak a quart of oil an hour.

Thanks to Troll for the perfect timing to offer a donor swap

i was gonna say that motor looked familiar

RyanG · 07-30-2007, 03:07 PM

no this isnt a charity case. This is what I do and what I specialize in.

This is actually going to be a very easy swap. 99% of the garbage in there is getting ripped out. All I have to do is switch harnesses and rewire the alarm. easy peasy

I took this project on becasue I hate seeing butchered scoobs running around..esp after other shops said no way. To me, that in itself is unprofessional to turn a customer away without going over their options first.

RyanG · 07-30-2007, 09:02 PM

this is the little bugger that was holding the whole project up... suck a ghetto rig to get this thing in there.. the damn downpipe was welded fast to the exhaust housing.

here is Mike holding the stupid thing. anyone want a Garrett ???

and of course excitement ensued!!!

RyanG · 07-30-2007, 10:35 PM

pulling the motor finally

ooooooooh so empty yet still a mess.

boooooo

and once again.. goodtimes ensue

Signatus230 · 07-30-2007, 10:40 PM

That... is nuts. I... wow.

teh DIRT · 07-30-2007, 10:42 PM

thats the most cluttered...engineless bay i have ever seen.

**dangerousatom** · 07-31-2007, 12:18 PM

YAY 4 KITTY LITTER . . . in all reality there is more oil on the frame and under car then spilled on the floor witch was like 1 1/2 qts+ What a freeking mess! But the hard part is more than half over and the rest rips out easy

DUNT TA DUNT TA DUNT TA!!!! . . . . ah I can still hear the air guitar

Signatus230 · 07-31-2007, 05:57 PM

I guess by convicing her, you told her that you were going to drop in a new engine and stuff for... like alot of money, lol.

"We'll fix your overheating issue, no problem!"
"Really? Thanks!"

*Comes back two weeks later*

"All done!"
"Great, how much? $5000"
"..."

Lol.

Willdue · 07-31-2007, 06:04 PM
