I have yet to wash it and clean it out since I purchased it. That will probably happen today after I Seafoam and change oil and whatnot.

[88LXi68]

another grey Sooner SE-I for Adam! it even has the same fading paint on the trunk :)

hopefully you can clean her up a bit and do a bit of restoration

[charliekuney]

Doesn't Nio have those Escort wheels on his grey SE-i coupe as well?

Now, don't worry: a lot of your "problems" aren't bad at all. Finding new cup holders and a matching mirror are going to be hard (I'm selling a black passenger side power mirror, by the way). Get that trim piece and the corner from a junkyard ($10 max).

Now, as for the leather and tail gate lights...

[charliekuney]

Double post, sorry.

[Civic Accord Honda]

car looks good man, those look like 99ish saturn sl2 rims

[Jajle]

I plan on doing alot once I get a solid job. I plan to have the seats rewrapped in black leather, trim pieces and new trunk(Which will take care of the broken tail lights.) as well as a new color(Really dark[almost black] green is my thinking atm.). I'd also like to grab some sort of B-swap. But of course plans are plans until the money flows. :P

[2drSE-i]

How did i miss this? wtf? And Steve, my SE-i's trunk is the only part on the car that ISN'T fading lol. Got a new trunk a couple of years ago from where an old man backed into it lol. Welcome to the site, my fellow SE-i Grey Coupe OKC resident!

[Mellexx]

Pretty clean man! Can't wait to see more

[MessyHonda]

nice project you have. it has low miles so that engine will do another 130k with proper care...dont do a b swap unless the engine goes bad. now go and give it some TLC

[Jajle]

Went to Pull A Part last week and this week and got some goods.

First up, a mirror that was the same color as my paint. (Yes I know, looks like I jizzed on my car.):P

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee9/ChilaEwshy/IMG_6461.jpg

Next, cupholders. They need to be cleaned but I'm gonna clean everything at one time this weekend.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee9/ChilaEwshy/IMG_6462.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee9/ChilaEwshy/IMG_6463.jpg

Last is corner light fixture.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee9/ChilaEwshy/IMG_6468.jpg

I also got a visor but it's a visor so... No pictures lol.
Only need a trunk and one other trim piece and she'll be ready to paint. :P

[Mellexx]

Sweet! Do you plan on keeping the same color on the paint or changing it up? and I see a very nice looking s14 in the drive way!

[Jajle]

Sweet! Do you plan on keeping the same color on the paint or changing it up? and I see a very nice looking s14 in the drive way!

I'm still debating the color question. I wanted a dark green but scrapped that. I probably will just repaint it the same. The s14 is my friend's. It doesn't look very nice when you can see the whole thing.

[Mellexx]

Ahh the color now is win though always loved gray on 3gees, but shame about the s14 seems they're always beater status

[Jajle]

Ahh the color now is win though always loved gray on 3gees, but shame about the s14 seems they're always beater status

The gray is pretty cool. I wish it were darker, I'd like to do a dark color with white GSR wheels. The s14 will be coming out of beater status once he gets a job. He wants to strip it and drift it.

[2drSE-i]

When i get a day off we need to go to the JY and get you a new fender, and me a passengers window switch.

[2drSE-i]

Oh, nevermind its on your rear drivers, cant pull that part lol.

[Jajle]

Lol, yea. But I can always find something at the junkyard for my car. I need that trim piece and a trunk lid. Also would get to meet another member from 3GEEZ. :P

That would look sick definitely, I'd love to see the s14 when he gets it done for sure

[Jajle]

Sure thing, man.

[Mellexx]

Ahh can't view it he's got it set to friends only, do look forward to seeing your car and his together when they're both finished

[Civic Accord Honda]

[Jajle]

You bet, we always cruise together. We'll even have them in our senior picture too. :P

Thanks, more to come!

[Mellexx]

Sounds awesome :p

[2drSE-i]

[Jajle]

Hey man i got your facebook message, are you and Preston goin to import faceoff? I'm thinkin about going but i won't be goin by myself lol.

Yea, we're definitely going. So if you do go(which you totally should) you can hang out with us. We won't be in the 3g though. :(

[Jajle]

Got more goods at Pull A Part today. Lude seats. :P
I need to screw around with the brackets more. Get them mounted better, I only did the passenger side to see if they would fit, I'll do the driver side when I mod the brackets for it. Pictarz!

I'm ripping apart the old seat to get to the bolts.

You can see how they don't fit the bracket quite right and how the back of the seat is jutting out, which I'll be trying to find a way to fix later on in the week.

looks much better! but trim the plastic peice and the slider arm!

[MessyHonda]

is that a 4th gen lude seat?

[Jajle]

I'll be fixing those this weekend, they will be full Lude seats sliding all the way back and forward and that arm won't be so noticeable.

is that a 4th gen lude seat?

Indeed that is a 4th gen seat.

[Mellexx]

Win! Always love Lude seats, I'll be throwing in ones off a 3rd gen on my 3g whenever I get her though

[Jajle]

I've got a date with a garage filled with welders, grinders, etc. either this Saturday or next, I'll post new pix of the new fitting brackets once they are finished.

[bryan6732]

Totally overseen this thread..
Great job done so far. I like those Lude seats!

[Jajle]

A peak into the future.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee9/ChilaEwshy/rims.jpg

:rice:
I'll be getting these rims shortly after I get my engine running correctly. Who knows when that will be, but I'm saving a bit of money on the side to get them. I'll probably paint them white sometime after I purchase them. I think they look shmexy imo.

[MessyHonda]

oh good thing bglad is selling some lowering springs because you are going to need them after you put those rims on

[Jajle]

Yea, I've stared at that post for a while wanting those. But the bank of Jajle is close to empty. I agree it definitely needs to be lowered.

[Civic Accord Honda]

wheres the dr pepper?

[Jajle]

[Mellexx]

Definitely will look sweet with those rims and when it's lowered, but first things it running properly fer sure.

Indubitably, found my oil leak today. Don't know how in the world I can fix it.

[MessyHonda]

where is the leak? im sure we can help

[Jajle]

where is the leak? im sure we can help

The tube coming out of the oil pan on the passenger side of the pan. It leaks where it connects to the oil pan.

[MessyHonda]

just pick up a new tube and some new clamps...that should be a easy fix...i would rather have that then to do the oil pan gasket

[Jajle]

Well it's not the rubber tube, it's the metalish tube. The rubber tube and clamps are new, it's the metal part of the tube coming out of the pan. *wishes I had a camera*

[Civic Accord Honda]

grab a new oilpan from the wreckers ?

[Jajle]

grab a new oilpan from the wreckers ?

I'll probably end up doing that.

[lostforawhile]

i've got one for sale ,it's a good one, i did some modifications to another pan for my car

[Jajle]

i've got one for sale ,it's a good one, i did some modifications to another pan for my car

Sorry, I only have fifty cents. And I think we all know what that goes to. Lol. But on the serious side, this week is really tight. I have oil to keep tossing in it to get me to next week. Then I'll be able to afford an oil pan.

Then I'll be able to afford an oil pan.just let me know, it's not going anywhere, when you have money and if you want to get it it will still be here. i pulled it off to put on my other pan.

[Jajle]

I'll let you know, thanks.

[Jajle]

Could timing be my engine problem? Symptoms are: slower than slow IE; 24seconds 0-60. Really bad gas mileage IE; 13mpg maybe. Car's max speed is 80 and it takes thirty years to get there, plus it uses like a quarter tank of gas to do it.

I've been trying to find posts on how to adjust timing and I've found a few on the matter. But I haven't found any that are for a complete newb to these cars. And where the hell is the timing window? Chilton manual doesn't explain it very well.

[Jajle]

Woo! I got a job. So my car will be getting upgrades soon. Starting with suspension. My brother is apparently tired of putting money into his Integra ls, so he gave it to me to strip. It's got a b18b in it. I'd kinda like to put that in my car. We'll see I guess. :P Picture updates soon!

[car6289]

The timing window is a notch in the engine block casting at the engine to transmission joint. Find where the front engine mount is bolted to the block, look up and ever so slightly to your left (the car's right) until you find where the engine model and serial number are stamped in the engine block, the timing window is directly above the numbers.

[2drSE-i]

Hey brian I can time your car for you... sometime.

Cool, thanks.

Thought you didn't know how?

[2drSE-i]

I didn't but I learned. Did my timing belt around a month ago.

[Jajle]

Oh, hell yea. I doubt I'm keeping the engine that's in the car as of now. There are a lot of problems on it that I don't want to mess with. I do know where there is another a20 for sale though, but right now I just want something that I don't have to tend to EVERY day.

Edit: And I want a five speed damnit!

[Mellexx]

Sweet can't wait to see what you've got coming up for her

[Jajle]

Ok, so I lied to everyone, kinda. My mom lost her job, and her car and needs help with rent and a vehicle until she can find a new job and get a car again. I'll have to lend her mine and my dad will probably make a down payment for something else for me. I'm going to the dealership tomorrow to look at some crap. But I won't be working on the 3gee for a while because I'll have to make car payments and help my mom out with rent.

[Mellexx]

Sucks to hear that man, hope everything works out for you. Hopefully you'll be back to working on the 3gee soon man.

[Tdurr]

Sucks to hear that man, hope everything works out for you. Hopefully you'll be back to working on the 3gee soon man.

x2 man, but kudos for helping ur mom out :cheers: if we ever meet ill buy u a beer :)

[Dr_Snooz]

Hat's off to you for lending a hand to your Mom. Hope you get the 3g back soon.

[Jajle]

K so my dad urges me not to let my mom use the 3g, because he's put a lot of money into it. He also doesn't want me making payments on a new car, so with that being said. I still am helping my mom out with rent but I still have the 3g. I'll have a little extra money that I'll be saving at the end of each week and I might start gathering little parts like; 5spd swap parts, and I really need some seat belt retractors. Then I'll start saving for more expensive items like suspension and performance parts, etc. I might go to PaP this weekend and see what I can't find.

[Jajle]

So it's been a little while since I've updated you guys on what's going on. So here it is; My mom's rent is caught up, she is still out of a job. She's on unemployment and can handle her bills now. A couple of weeks ago Adam stopped in and we adjusted my ignition timing to factory specs. Then my brakes started acting up and after I got done reading this thread (http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74613) the day it was first posted, my brakes went completely out. I woke up the other morning and my dad had fixed them. I don't know how either, lol. Also was thinking about selling Lacy. Was looking at an s13 hatch and an 88 Integra(Which had a complete tune-up recently). And both of those dropped out. So I still have her, don't worry. :P Now that I don't have to help my mom with rent anymore I can see what kind of money I can put back and update you all from that. Probably have some sort of new update by this weekend or early next week. But I will be keeping the car and getting stuff for it soon hopefully.

[Jajle]

Hello everyone! I've been thinking about what to do with this darned car, lol. The car is slowly dying and I don't have time to rebuild the engine, as a couple of people have suggested. I also got screwed with some weird ass schedule change at work and it cost me a week's check. I do however, have a ride to school and work for the rest of this semester. And someone was selling an engine a while back around the DFW area, if he still has it, I'll try to get the Dodge from my dad to go down there. I'm going to be selling a few things this week to get some cash, and I get paid Friday. If all goes well I'll be able to pick that up this weekend.

[Jajle]

So, Lacy was totaled. I let somebody drive it while I was drunk and he got to fucking around and went into a ditch and rolled it. I was in the car and was unharmed(probably cause I was drunk). So I guess my thread stops here.

[HON-DUH]

sad ending

[forrest89sei]

Wow Suck!

Well glad you weren't hurt!

[Jajle]

I'm looking for another 3gee!
But it'll be a little bit, My friend who wrecked my car is helping me out, and another friend is going to give me money for some parts from Lacy. I'll definitely be keeping my lude seats, lol.

[MessyHonda]

save the rear disk breaks with prop

[Dr_Snooz]

I'm just seeing this thread. Oh gawd. When it rains it pours, huh? I guess the bright side, if there is one, is that the car was pretty hurtin' anyway. This may be your chance to find a really good one. Glad to hear your buddy is manning up. Best of luck finding another car.
