A day working on the Probe So, today it was time to put in my new stuff! (Painted valve covers, polished Intake Manifold, gaskets, new hoses, Sparkplugs's, Sparkplug-wires, filters) It's a big job, specially if it's your first time.. But I had help from a good friend, and the right tools. And it's running again, so yay! :cool: Before: http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/418/dscf1642ht8.jpg Friends let friends tackle the hardest m*therfuckin' bolt there is: http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/5026/dscf1644oi9.jpg Old and new IM: http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/6020/dscf1645ke8.jpg old and new front-VC: http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2597/dscf1646tf0.jpg VC's on: http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/348/dscf1647ox3.jpg IM on: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5301/dscf1648lp2.jpg Finished!!!: http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/452/dscf1650wd8.jpg A new little mod I did too (you Americans don't have side-indicators, we get fugly orange ones): http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6720/dscf1649zw6.jpg And some pictures of our 2 cars together: http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/8715/dscf1652bn7.jpg http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/8299/dscf1654dt1.jpg |

Re: A day working on the Probe wow! im suprised at how good that looks, good job with the paint, especialy on the emblem did you have the manifold polished or did you order a new one polished? |

Gaskets and hoses were old, had oil in the sparkplug wells, worn sp-wires.. it runs a lot stronger now! Some night shots I took today after I cleaned the outside too: http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/1985/dscf1666cr3.jpg http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/5492/dscf1672ls5.jpg http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/4005/dscf1678bk4.jpg http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/863/dscf1679sq3.jpg http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/1154/dscf1681gw3.jpg http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/5946/dscf1684br4.jpg http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/8250/dscf1687ff7.jpg Next job: LOWERING THAT BITCH! :naughty: |

Re: A day working on the Probe Looking really nice, but are you sure about lowering it, it looks low already, wouldn't it get damaged in speed bumps if it was even lower? I guess it would look a bit better, but when driving a car which in the second highest position rivals the ground clearance of e.g. a Toyota Landcruiser you get a bit suspicious about lowered cars, even though the thing hits the ground overnight. :lookaround: |
Re: A day working on the Probe I'll have to look out at speedbumps, not it's not that I can't take them anymore. It's a low car from the factory, but lowering it will fill the wheel-wells a lot better and generally give it a much better appearance, aswell as handling. I know the coil-overs are good, but I'm going with a spring-set from KAW. 50mm front, 35mm back. So it gets the nose-down stance like the other white probe in the pictures above. :) |
Re: A day working on the Probe Any plans for a body kit? Shaved handles? Etc? |
Re: A day working on the Probe No, I don't like body kits.. The probe is beautiful as it is.. Lowering and exhaust is first on the list. |
Re: A day working on the Probe Yup, body kits with no real car you are trying to recreate are more than likely to be just ricy. The BX be needing a new exhaust too, and soon or it will completely fall off. It rusted to pieces from the inside faster than I thought, so it started souding and vibrating like a kind of ricy V8 until I temporarily taped it together... :( Quote:
