Derracudas zermatt 20vt,6spd, 351awhp - July 4th drive vid
Posted: Sun Dec 17, 2006 11:51 am
well folks.... after my episode with the 86 zermatt car from NC with the paint issues and whatnot, and then my issue with not being able to stop for blazers in front of me, i decided to console myself with buying the car i originally wanted before going to NC.... a very clean, very nice 4kq, a rival to my alpine car, with which to perform a 20vt conversion.
this one comes with all the documentation.... the dealer pamphlet, the window sticker, original window sticker, you name it. the gentleman i got it from, got it from his father, so it's a 2 owner car, VERY clean inside and out. some dings and chips, but i'm going to employ a good paintless dent removal service to take car of the dings, and i have a friend who does professional paint touchups that i'll have fix the chips.
the plan for this car is what i wanted to do with the zermatt 86 from NC....
91' 3B 20vt engine, all stock engine management, OEM style conversion for daily driver status.
Swap transmission out and install an 89' 20v 200 trans with torsen center and 3:89 final drive, along with the UR rear diff from my alpine car with matching 3:89 gears.
the rebuilt subframes out of my alpine car will go in it. suspension is going to be mild. i'm thinking some cut CQ springs for stiff rate, but i don't want to lift the car, nor do i want to lower it much.
5lug swap using Martin Pajak's recipe of parts, which will be listed here.
I got it in LA, which required an all day drive from here in sacramento, 862 miles round trip, on about 2-3 hours of sleep
i was toast last night when i got home. the only issue i had with the car is the coolant fan isn't kicking on, so i had to maintain speed in order for it to cool properly other than that, she drives beautifully.
now for :pics:
