Started on my 7

Well I started the teardown of my 7 that has been sitting in my driveway for a while. I have found some disturbing things when taking apart my $800 GSLSE

It all started with one white little 7 with a running GSL-SE and a blown rear end


Had little interior


So I decided I miss my old drag car(it was a bottle fed honda that ran 13s) and I will make myself a new one. So I started tearing it apart and ordering parts.








but in the process of tearing it down to rebuild, I have found a few disturbing things.

1. My motor mounts are slices of wood(pics later once I actually pull the engine)
2. My Omp are was held on by a safety pin

3. My injector clips were held on with bailing wire and duct tape ( I forgot to take pics of this)
4. Alot of places bolts were stripped out, so some random SAE bolt was forced in.

I am sure I will find more as I go, and will update this thread. It should be a fun build.

Something like that, and you can look forward to my later post, "My 7 pissed me off and I took an air chisel to it!!!!!"
