My 96 Cavy Project
Thursday, December 30, 2010 12:25 PM
Here are some photos of my project ive been working on. Let me know what you guys think good or bad. Any ideas of other stuff I can do would be cool. So here we go...

3400 swap with MS II and N2O with Dual Purge


Dash Work is still in progress. Push button Start, N20 Controls with window switch on the steering coloum. All guages work and the empty Pod on the pillar is for the turbo PSI guage when the kit arrives and gets installed.


Battery relocate and Nos bottle wtih heater.


Front Brake Calipars painted and getting ready to paint the suspension parts.


Rearend is getting tore down and the Neon rear disk brake mod done.


Heres a pick at night with the Purge of Nos


And a pick of the car about 8 months ago

STD's OR TEINS for the drop for sure.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

purge pick is awesome.

Do you have to have a front plate or do you have the filler for the bumper?

I live in Indiana so i dont need a front plate. Still up in the air if im going to use a filler for the bumper or get a aftermarket front and rear bumper on it.

not bad, some cleaning up and taking off the chain vinyl and it would look a lot better!

good start though.

Nice man, that 3400 swap is awesome, but a boosted 3400? Even better!


Project Resurrection is in full swing!

Thanx Mythod. Only thing that has me concerned about the boost is the wheel pull on WOT. With the 75 shot of N2O the wheel pull is real bad. Have to keep hold of the wheel real good with one hand and shift with the other.

Just a little history on the car. well as much as I know.
I bought this car from a guy that had already done the 3400 swap. Only reason, and i repeat only reason I bought it.
I paid $2000 for it to give to my son. After my son drove for it for about 2 weeks he complained about the clutch being to stiff and he wanted a Auto. So the car became mine.
The car was a electrical nightmare. Lots of long nights in the garage cleaning it up. Still some more to do in the engine bay as you can see from the pics.
Ive added the gauge cluster, push button start, N2O, and just now really getting into it.
To be honest I never gave these cars a second look on the road. If I had knowin that a 3400 could be put in one before I got this one I would have bought one and done it. Not much to the swap. its about the only thing they did right when they swapped it was get it in and running.
But I do love the faces of the kids next to me at the stop light and I Rev that V6 when they expect to hear a 4 banger.

Well got the rearend takin out of the car and painted it black after some massive sanding and grinding. Looks good so far.
I will be reinstalling it today and setting up the Neon rear disk brakes. After hours of looking at lowering kits I have decided not to lower the car at this time. But it will be getting new struts all the way around. The ones on it now are trashed. I guess Im just not to worried about the cars appearance. It will never be a show car. I feel my money is better spent on things under the hood.

Car is getting a complete tear down and paint job next winter. Looking into a 3800 S/C to drop in it also. I will post a build up of the 3800 this summer as it happens.
