Trujillo's 96 red sport lots of pics

Post by trujillo351 »

Bought this 96 sport when i was 17, it was my first ride and made for alot of good high school memories.

I Was finally ready to drop the cash on some real go fast parts but as you know, life happens and i will have to wait until next spring. The wife crashed her new car annnnnnnd SHE let her insurance lapse, so gotta pay for that to get fixed. Ive been lurking on here for a long time reading and planning the build, seems like every time I am ready to order stuff something happens :evil:

So i decided to put a little money into maintenance items and interior stuff to make it drivable and comfortable until next spring.

Seats were shot so I installed a leather split bench out of an odyssey, then some 3rd row Denali seats in the rear, they are moved back about 8 inches and super easy to take out.

Peel n Seal for sound deadening.

New carpet

removed all the panels and painted with opal gray interior panel paint. (stuff really sticks and looks nice)

I installed a powerdyne supercharger a while ago, kinda sucks honestly.

2.5" leveling kit with AAl in the rear.

also did the six liter tune, up and 3" exhaust a few thousand miles ago(been sitting for a couple years)

33 12.50 15 Firestone Destination MT....seem large for a 33.

Tried to have the shop align it today but the a camber bushings are rusted solid.

Inner and outer bearings, seals, rotors, pads, hubs, tires and some body TLC.


here ear some pics of the progress.....sorry not in any sort of order

Blower sucks. Only builds boost at super high RPM. Basically useless, looking for a vortech or blowzilla.

I think it needs work though, there's a company that rebuilds them with different impellers and what not to make boost low down.

Not sure about smog, I'm in a place that doesn't require any smog testing.

When i had the 31's on it it was noticeable, alot of fun on slick surfaces pulling high RPM. nothing on the low end. With 33's i don't know it exists......really need to install 410's or 456's.
