MilesFox Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 make sure the radiator is in good shape. you have an ea82 turbo engine, mpfi. automatic or stick? this determines what axles it has. most other parts are compatible with other models, such as brakes, wheel bearings, alternator, etc. how many miles? you will want to know when the timing belts were last done. engine is non interference, so if it breaks a timing belt, there is no damage to the valves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 thanks for the info. its a stick with the push button awd i was told that the radiator should be replaced this summer comin up. and the timing belts are already replaced last year and it only has 165xxx miles on it. all it needs is a new headliner, back bumper, the front main seal, and the two belts i have no clue what the names of them are. alternator belt and the one next to it. ill try and get pics up later today. also wat kind of mods can i do to my car?

crazyman03 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 indeed. how do the eclipse subs sound in the back? did you expand the cargo box for additional box volume? or was there enough? -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicfrog Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 When you replace the radiator, make sure you buy a dual core. When I first bought Murphy, the $500 87 Turbo Wag a few years ago, I was having all sorts of issues with overheating. After blowing a head gasket (or two), i finally wised up and bought a dual core rad. have had no problem with overheating since. And again, that engine bonnet is mighty pretty! PS. Though I'm not English per-se, they all the engine bay a bonnet, so I just roll with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people do it on other cars.. Personally i don't like subs firing up from that position. it takes away from the cargo area and renders it pretty much useless.. even with a grille. IMHO of coarse! -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker's are alright.. You can always lower the box a bit. looks decent though. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
