This will be my third 16V :shock:
I have a lot of mods on my mind and hopefully this time I will actually do some mods. The ZX 16V looks quite nice. It's biggest fault is lots of stone-chippings damage on the bumper and hood.
Technically there are 3 major issues:
-clucth worn out
-oil leak
-righthand driveshaft

These three points will be my main objective to tackle. At the moment the car has 14"steelies :roll: But I have bought een set of wheels via ebay:
Image
These wheels however aren't straight. I'm not sure if I keep the wheels or that they go back to it's sender.

The car is lowered, standard shocks + HR -35mm springs. The rear is lowered about 4,2cm(I'm not sure, because it is done by the previous owner).
It is a bit lower than my other 16V, which was lowerd 3,9cm.

Looks good mate...my first 16V came with that metallic dark green...

Now the car just needs some nice looking 16 inch wheels (im a big fan of OZ Superleggaras).... then it will be spot on!

:wink:

Little update..
Plans were completely changed. There is a XU10J2TE RGY engine under the bonnet. Still have lots of work to do though...

Image

When you take apart two cars at about the same time, there will be lot of crap lying around

Image

The easy part is done :)

good luck friend :wink:

RGY is not the best choice...

RGY = 139HP AND 22.9kgm
RGX = 150HP AND 23.9kgm

but turbo its a turbo... you can easely rise up the *dont now the word* and get more power... 8)

It has a bit less power and there are a few internal differences, but I will not be running the original turbo and exaust manifold and it will have more boost than the standard ~0,6 bar. When I'm finished I hope to have about 200hp@1,1bar.


The most important thing is to have it running and from there we will see! I also have many many things to do with the looks of the car.

Thanks for the good luck, I know I am going to need it, or else the car will be running in november 2017 :roll:

o.k. a good turboto this engine is the 95-99 impreza GT!! my friend got it on is RGX and he satisfied!!

p.s. i recommender you to replace the head gasket to the 306GTI6 gasket!! is more durable - they made it from metallic material, and of course - it perfectly match!!

Been busy with the ZX the last two days...

Yesterday
Image

Left shocks(Ori + H&R and Koni + H&R) taken apart and build up again, with the best components.

Image
Shock back under the care together with the driveshaft.

Today:
Image
Left hand side finished.

Image
Removed the right hand side shock and fitted the driveshaft.

Image
Right hand side also completed. Shock has gotten the same "tune up" als the left one yesterday. But there was a complication...

Image
I was being careless and damaged the thread of the steering thing(look at the pic and you'll know what I mean). It was stuck so I used a hamer, but I did not line up the ...(not bolt but the other one). So I just had to by a new one.

Image
Alternator mounted.

Image
Same for the starter engine.

English can be damn difficult at times :roll:

A little bit of progress...

Took the rear axel apart to let it get powdercoated, but there's damage on the trailing arms :(
