Woah its been awhile, lots of life happened and had to sell the Silvia. Not going to go into that haha. Long story short. I unloaded most of my s chassis stuff locally and got back into building E30s. Built a few and ended up cashing out on those as well after they appreciated to the moon. Got back into s-chassis and bought a LS1 Silvia with wiring issues. Buttoned it up and realized im definitely not a LS guy. But it was super fun while it lasted.

I went full Holley EFi and digital dash

I wanted to try to find a 180sx. Thats been the dream but I somehow kept ending up with Silvia's. Finally found one and pulled the trigger.

92' 180sx with a built SR20det
He towed it down for me 10 hours in a blizzard so we could meet up. When he shows up its definitely not the car he described. I thought I covered my end with asking for as many pictures and videos as could. The car came with a built motor with receipts. But smoked like a train. Left wheel was going out. Clutch pedal was broken. ETC ETC ETC. So I decided to send the dude packing. Driving home I felt really bad that he drove that far. So we met up again the next morning after working out a decent deal and I had the car in my hands. Here we are now.

First thing I did was get rid of a POS quick release that rattled so loud and put my nardi in.

I get the car home and first this I do is a compression test. The motor pulled a even 110psi across the board

. I immediately buy another built SR from a friend and start putting together parts and pieces.

This is a work of art. Gen 2 top mount SR20det manifold from Future Fabrication

Also bought a g25-550 after doing some research on it and speaking with Jon at future fab.
