Well, I was almost ready to put a turbo on my 97 Eclipse, when I stumbled on a deal I couldn't pass up. So I sold my turbo parts, and got a big project instead ;D I just got it paid for, and towed home Saturday. It's a 92 Laser RS AWD. This will need a lot of work, but should be nice when finished. The kid kept frying clutches, so he sold it dirt cheap. It needs a new bell housing, clutch, a paint job (inside and out), and a lot of time. I'm hoping that's all it needs to at least get it running, I think the rear brakes may be seized though. I'm not too sure on the engine, he said it was fine and running strong when it died, but we'll see. For the price, the awd was worth it even if it needs engine work, that would just take a lot longer for me to afford doing. First thing will be the tranny/clutch to see if it runs, and then go from there. www.goonspace.com/project/Laser 026 sm.JPG[/img] www.goonspace.com/project/Laser 029 sm.JPG[/img] www.goonspace.com/project/Laser 031 sm.JPG[/img] Lime green, wtf www.goonspace.com/project/Laser 033 sm.JPG[/img] www.goonspace.com/project/Laser 034 sm.JPG[/img] www.goonspace.com/project/Laser 037 sm.JPG[/img] (just to show the nice bell housing) And I have to say thanks to Matt for taking the long, crappy drive to take a look at this with me Thanks again Matt.

1. WTF happened to that bellhousing? 2. What is it with ricers and Lasers? My first Laser parts car that I bought had a complete lime green accented interior as well. Nice project though. Good luck with the build.

Hehe yeah it needs some work for sure...I dont get the lime green crap either..I hate lime green, mostly because my laser was painted that color, and the shit is showing though at spots that i keep having to touch up with black lol..bah! The kid kept blowing clutches, at least i believe, because the trans-to-block alignment dowel pins are missing, from what i could tell anyway..ofcourse, i didnt mention that to him when tim and i looked at it ;D I have a 2g AWD trans at my shop that has a small hole in the bottom of the case, and i'm hoping to be able to use that bellhousing to swap onto the trans..prob have Jon at TRE do the swap. This car is the perfect example of what happens to a sweet DSM in the very wrong hands Oh BTW, for those that may wonder hehe, it is a 6 bolt motor, 4 bolt rear, and rear LSD boyee..

I think the kid had tried to weld the crack the last time he blew his clutch. Looks like that was a good idea I wish I had an answer for that lime green paint, but it still baffles me. I'm not sure if I'll try repainting them or getting replacements. I'm thinking I'll probably just repaint them first. And yes, the running man hatchet dies ;D

aww man he ruined the taillights too. on an upside it has the talon bumper already which givves better room for a fmic and all the interior pieces are easyily stealable ones from junkyards.

and wtf is with that smim or something? Yea... I think he said the kid that had the car before him did that. He said "he modeled it after the venom intake" or some crap like that. Yup, another part that will likely have to go.
