Hey Guys so I'm getting ready to swap my engine and i was wonder just incase is there anything that i should get besides the Engine? So far I have the engine and the Set up for the mount. Should i get anything else? The engine is a B18c1 by the way.
Does anyone suggest any extra parts that i Should get? i wanna make the engine stronger and gain torque so what are some parts that would be compatiable for the engine? Im not familiar with engine parts... soo if you can please give me a list to maybe look at so i can learn about them. thanks guys!

hey, if volvo would have brought 5spd turbo's to the states, I'd have one. I could go through the trouble of swapping one in, but I think thats what my current 850 is for.
Its pretty pricey as far as 850's go. In Excellent shape, KBB and NADA put suggested retail around $6500. I'm going to play ball here tomorrow or Wednesday and see what price I can work out.
I am going to be driving through like all of PA. I may take you up on it if I go this route.
honestly there is nothing to see in pa other than the eastern part and that isn't much.......pitt is a joke and anything surrounding it is as well. and central pa is nothing more than back water kentucky.....

I'm not doing it because I want to, lol. I'm driving through because I have to, if I get the car. Wheeling and dealing with the guy right now. I'm gonna try and get it out the door for $6400
Getting the car checked by a 3rd party at the moment,we'll see if it pans out. Only thing that troubles me is no one seems to know when the t-belt was done, if at all. hm, other wise it checks out so far. We'll see what the non-dealer mechanic has to say.

well I posted in another thread on it, but let me re-post again because I got the numbers a bit lower than what I originally posted.
They were asking 7k for the car originally. but...
I did some hw and found a local shop in NJ close to the dealer arrange to come pick the car up and have it inspected. The guy at the shop found 3 issues. 1.) AC is a little weak. 2.) traction control is iffy, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, I'm kinda ok with it not working. 3.) no one knows when or if the T-belt has been done.
So...
I went back to the dealer and played the numbers game and went from near 7k ($6995) to $6390. Now, for this $6390 not only am I getting the car, but I am getting the car with:
-Brand new t-belt installed by the shop I brought it to for the inspection
-Inspection costs at that shop comped
-Ride form the airport to the dealership
-Plates, title tax ect. all included in the price
I don't think a clean as hell 850 with 105k, no major flaws at all really, and a brand new t-belt, on the road and legal is a bad deal? The extra $500 or so (I have a 7k budget) I obviously will have to spend on a plane ticket to NJ and gas to get the car the nearly 1000 miles back home. I'm not too troubled by the travel costs, as I'll view it as a vacation of sorts, I love road trips, I'm gonna take a few days off work and enjoy getting my ass back home the scenic way in a new car! The mountain roads of PA could prove interesting.

Hey now. Back water KY is better than that, we have cleaner women.
Here's some pics of my car... I was thinking about cutting down the barrier between the trunk and the cab and putting a seat back there.
I've already removed the trunk so I can fit my mountain bike back there but I need to be able to fit my 178cm skis in the car and the only way I can think of to do that is to cut out the mid section where the window rolls up and down. I can deal with not having that window as my car never has the top on in the summer and for the winter I was thinking of building a removable hard hatch cover.
So basically turning my del sol into a hatchback with a targa top.
A guy that runs a junk yard said he would give me a bench seat to put back there so I figured I'd run with it.
What I need to know is will it be ok to cut out the barrier between the trunk and the cab?
I'm looking at a 1994 Del sol, owned by a friend of mine.
Fresh paint job professionally done, zero rust anywhere. for $1500. Timing belt was done recently, good tires an brakes, and it's a D16z6 manual with I/H/E. It needs a headgasket, which I am able to do. Is this a good deal?

yeah it's a good deal if the wiring harness isn't a night mare and the head/block isn't warped. also you won't really know until you get the head off and hopefully the walls are in decent condition. any cancer, leaks or torn cv boots etc?
