JCmopars Daily'd First Gen
11
Figured I'd contain my whoring to one thread.
Tis my daily, so progress is slow. It's a 91, 2.5 4cyl, 5 speed. Had 102k miles on it when I bought it last summer for $1200, it's up to 111k now, still running great.
The day I bought it

First thing I did was rip off the purple tint and went 5% on the rear glass 20% on the sides. Bought clear H-4 headlights and bumper lights, and bought some 17" Soft 8s.
Here's how it sits now, rims are 17x8 245/40 front, 17x9 275/40 rear with 0 offset.

I've been debating on how low I wanna go, I did some measuring today and a 5/6 seems about right. I bought some 3" blocks this weekend to level it out some for now. But here's a quick chop I did for some motivation.

Le Bravada got some LED headlights and I turned the keys down all the way up front. I think if I find some decent wheels for cheap I'll get some drop keys and go more low. Right now it has a good 2" rake.

I bought some 2" blocks to even it out, maybe I'll put them on tomorrow.

Brought it the rest of the way down. Sits perfectly level with 1/4" of rake.

I want at least an 18. Preferably a 19 or 20. I was really looking at new Camaro 20s, but I'm still not sure about running a bolt pattern that's slightly off.

86, one owner, 242k on the body, originally a 2.8 4 speed that was swapped to a 3.4 from a 95 Camaro with like 160k.
Ended up giving $900 for it. Plan is to let my mom drive it til she gets a new car then I'm gonna rape it for all its good parts for the s10.

This motherfckr runs motherfckr!
Greasy dirty nasty WC t5 from a 93 2.8 s10 with 160ish thousand miles.

Used about 5 cans of Gunk to make it a little more presentable.

WC goodness. Decoded the tag, 1352-222. Which other than being a WC the other difference is it has a .72 OD rather than my .86 OD which is barely even a difference from 4th gear.

Old one came out in 2 hours, new one should go in 2 right!?

Not pictured: new crossmember that isn't rusted through and a new Energy Suspension trans mount.
Total turd bucket but I quite enjoy it.
