At the moment, I'm definitely NOT loving my coupe. I new I needed 2 new gaskets so I went and bought them yesterday, an oil pan gasket and an exhaust manifold gasket... sooo I finally get past all the crappy bolts to take the heat sheild off being careful not to break off any of them... and there's a crack straight through the center of my manifold, about 1/8 inch thick. The only thing holding the manifold in one piece is the bolts holding it to the head.

Luckily I got some great hookups so a guy I know that's gone turbo is giving me his for the price of a NOS energy drink, yay!!

The crack as we saw it when we took the heat sheild off...



And what it turned into when the bolts weren't holding it together anymore...

- Mon Apr 27, 2009 5:49 am #113421 Well... today marked my last day as a coupe owner... the car has officially been traded for a '92 SI Hatch... the coupe was never what I totally wanted, it was just a quick buy because I needed a car so I finally have the hatch I want. Will start a new build thread sometime soon-ish.

She posted pics of a Grey Hatch that had a Boosted z6 in it. She was asking if it was a good deal, I am assuming its the same hatch, She might have gotten another one though.

Pumped for pics.

Not a z6 lol, a d16a... I did get that one. We're gonna start sanding though, there's some thick bondo in a few spots that needs knocked out, the dents pushed out the right way and then redone... it'll be fun. It will not be gray forever though, no sir, that's a no bueno. I like a little sparkle to my paint. =]

I always wanted a hatch but there were none for sale and I needed a car last time, so I gave the coupe some TLC that it needed and sent it on to a nice new home. Hahaha.
