Just a heads up (pun lol). All HUD equipped coupes had full power options, so either this car was converted to manual power windows and locks or HUD was installed into a base model by a 3rd party. If you care to know exactly you can PM me your VIN# and I can tell you for sure.

Great car btw. Can't wait to see another two-tone come back to life!

cleaned up the interior. looked like the previous owners were the messiest slobs ever. spilled soda, candy wrappers, gum, coins and hairs everywhere. it was like no one ever attempted to clean the interior.

yes, i've done lots, and lots of scrubbing

some progress:



ooooooo sparklyyyy


timing chain fun!


i've spent more time cleaning this motherfucker than actually doing anything mechanical. killed 2 wire brushes cleaning the bay and transmission. still need to finish cleaning the crossmember and motor.

as we took the motor apart we found the spark plugs hadn't been replaced in like... forever... and the thermostat is rusty as dick. new waterpump and the pistons appear to be in good shape and the head gasket isn't leaking at all so that makes me happy

10 days till i need this bitch ready to drift.

also, my wheels arrived.

it's gunmetal with the glitter


worked on it for 20 hours the last two days trying to get it together for an event this weekend, but this afternoon i realized the guy didn't give me the maf with the motor. scrambled trying to find someone local with one, but no luck. got a tip that pick n pull had a dohc 240 just put in the yard yesterday. got there 13 minutes till close, found the car and wouldn't you know the only thing missing was the god damn maf.

so i decided to mess around with my friend's wheels and partially installed my kit (not actually going to have this much camber. wheels aren't bolted on)

mocked up the front signals, side markers, rear valances, and threw the thrash in for fun. stoked that the random no name valances i found in the classifieds match up with the kit pretty well. might need to do some work on the bottom edge to make it a little sharper to match the skirts, but over all i'm very pleased

thanks! i'm undecided. supposedly the bumper is meant to cover the body line so in that case i'd go without. the line on the bumper is clean so it'll look fine and it lines up with the contours going into the main opening in the front of the bumper. i'll make a final decision once i finish the body work and put the rest of the body tape on.

wow haven't updated in forever.



fuel pump died and when i pulled it i found a bunch of debris in the tank, so i pulled it for cleaning and decided to do subframe risers at the same time



after driving around a bit and adjusting the rear height/camber to fit the vishunu's after doing the risers i found they were rubbing both the fender lip and wheel well... beat the well and tried to pull the fender a little more, but it didn't do anything, so i just left it haha


started mocking up the diffuser


i was driving to work one morning and about three blocks from my house i went around a turn and suddenly it sounded like there was a harley driving right next to me, but there was nothing. thought my exhaust might have partially come undone or cracked my header at the flange. popped the hood and found the o2 sensor decided it needed to take a brake hahaha


drove up to oregon for a drift even (about 6 hours each way) in awesome 100 degree heat. car managed to do just fine, but rotaries aren't such a fan of heat haha


car ran perfect all weekend, but i was sick as a dog the entire time and didn't even drive the second day, just went straight home in the morning. (pulled the hood off as a precaution)




^that event plus 3 months of daily driving had taken its tole on the aero.


i fixed the aero (sorry, forgot pics) and went to another event a week later and this happened
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTsuBnbEHIM

pulled/hammered it as good as i could at the track, kept on drifting, and drove it home

went back to fixing the bumper again haha



some more hammering, a new fender, and new headlight assembly and it was almost good as new


did pbm offset rack bushings real quick


painted repaired/new parts


trailered the car to an event for the first time ever and of corse my friend who was street driving his car, broke it. so instead of pushing the car too hard in the 106 degree weather and with my axles on the way out i decided to jump in the grip group and see what the car could do. actually had a pretty fun time. i'd like to do more grip driving some day... only got one lap on video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ezRuVC_A7g


Final Bout was approaching and the goodies started pouring in. picked up origin canards, "dmax" hood, and kouki wing.


the kouki wing had been chopped to fit a vert fc so i had to do some work to get it to fit right on the coupe trunk



shaved the trunk because ricer


had to repaint the front bumper, hood, and fender because they didn't quite match and then taaaadaaaaaaa! it was ready for final bout.



13 wheels in and s13 coupe nbd


we unloaded at the track and then drove 5 hours down to chicago for the night lol


filled leigh's driveway/yard and slept on his garage floor hahaha


used the car as tire transport at the track


and then DROVE





did my fair share of lawn mowing. (sorry pat!)


only ended up snapping one canard in half and that was it. all the other guys broke a lot more shit. it was an excellent trip


video of our adventure

fixed the broken canard and did a little fiberglass work on the aero and went to sonoma for some skidpad action




i cracked my fender a little at final bout, but i cracked it more, and another crack appeared at sonoma. pretty sad because these fenders were fucking perfect


finally these rails for the ergo showed up



traded the kouki wing straight up for this chargespeed type 1. dude had no idea what it was and to be honest, neither did i, but i knew it was something cooler than the kouki haha


did a winter drift series just for fun. 4 rounds are just solo runs and the final is invitational tandem comp (based on how you seed in the prior rounds)



managed to snag first and got to stand atop matt field's beater


painted/mounted the chargespeed. felt kinda "meh" about it


they set up "meihan" layout on the sonoma skidpad. it was a lot of fun, but there was one bump right after the entry that was unsettling my car. it caused me to spin out a few times, but the rest of the time it was fine. but during the last session of the night it began to rain. second run out i spun and my buddy plowed into the front of me. (random clip)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwKS9ipNB4I



while inspecting the damage later that week i noticed the frame rail and rad support were no longer connected. that explained why the front end felt so loose... welded it back together and it felt soooooo much better (obviously)


round 2 of the drift series was very wet


shared my car with my friend and we took home 1st and 2nd and this time i got to stand on matt field's daily hahaha

had to get door bars for the last round of the series


figured i might as well have my fab guy make a bash bar too while the car was at his house


fixed the front bumper again


won the 3rd round of the drift series and earned me a lil gt28 as inspiration to do something to the motor


traded/sold the vishunu's and model 5's and picked up some nt-r's


i like the vibe mannnn


drift series ended and hover car mode was engaged


many projects


finally did something with the motor haha



drove up to oregon to pick up new aero from gtr garage


i'll try not to hit anyone now that i have real shit




finally found a good deal on an sr. same price as local importers were asking for stock redtops, but this came with a ton of goodies. basically ready to be put in and get beat on.

came with tomei exhaust manifold and rocker stoppers, metal headgasket, arp head studs, moroso baffled oil pan, isis downpipe, oil cooler lines (i already have a cooler), wiring specialty harness for s14, t28, bunch of aem gauges and wideband and boost controller, apexi power fc d-jetro, and it's been tuned by works, putting out 237hp 233tq at 10psi. should be fun!


random accessories...


so ya, my front end was all fucked up. all the hammering and pulling in the world wouldn't get it straight sooooooo tube front time came

but it actually came out super rad. very happy with it so i guess it isn't so bad

Man that tube front is awesome, love the look compared to the way most people do them. I'm still trying to do a removable core support on my stock front >.<


Isn't this car red now? I think you need an update lol.
