Woods Racing

So as I said in an earlier post…had some oil changes in this week, and both blog-worthy.
.
Fabien brought in his Kia Coupe…and let me tell you, as much as an American/Domestic gearhead I am, this car speaks to me. It’s compact, has a decent 2.4, looks awesome with its red ext/black leather int and connected to the pavement with the black mags…it’s quite the head turner.
.

.
It’s actually a small import, that looks mean, looks menacing and has quite the attitude.
.
On the mechanic side of things, the car was put together properly for basic maintenance unlike the sunfire’s and such. The filter is in a good spot, you can view all the bushings/brakes/end links…etc easily and it gave me no trouble at all.

We chose Amsoil’s 5w20xl and a wix filter for this application and should easily see over 7000km’s on this change.
.

.
I really like this car and couldn’t stop staring at it…what would my friends say if one of these stayed parked in my garage with my name on the registration????

So, I previously referred to this project as Project Mouse Hunter, but once Chris (the owner) saw it, he gave me one of those looks. We came to a quick agreement that it will now be called Alley Cat.
.
So here we are.
.
We got it started, new starter was needed, and since then oil has been dumped and replaced, overall inspected, and cleaned up a lil.
.
We’re planning this build so it’s not a rush, but to give you a hint, the 5.0L H.O motor will remain with some added “enhancements”, suspension will see a drop with shocks and springs, body will be smoothed and painted and of course, the various other maintenance items such as ball joints, tie rods and fluids will all be fixed up.
