I recently stumbled across his videos and he's a hot shoe for sure but his car cannot handle my canyon roads. It's too low.
#1- KSports. No generic damper will go on any of my cars. Most aftermarket coilovers fall flat with regards to droop travel at higher ride heights. Droop is a big deal on cambered corners. #2- I don't like polyurethane bushings. Too much maintenance and, if you fall behind, too much stiction. #3- Deleted power steering. What, why? There's plenty one can do to increase feel without increasing fatigue. |

2)Heim joints are available to swap out. He seems to do pretty well without them. 3) Maybe he was tired of boiling his fluid and wanted to simplify. I heard a couple people have issues with leaks after going to aftermarket lines too. He might not be an endurance driver but no PS seems to get the job done at a 16 mile track for him. https://youtu.be/Kjk7AdF__pc?t=335 |

he's pretty fast on the Nurburgring. Less than 11 minutes for a t28 powered s13. I've been following him for a few years now.

My tastes have changed for street-usage cars. I like good ride quality, of which wheel travel is a component, and low NVH. I also like something I can slip behind the wheel of and just drive for hours and hours. I can drive for eight hours and only have 100 miles of straight road in those eight hours. It's far more important for me to have good drive quality because I have low drive quantity. |

I get more pearl-clutchy the older I get. I want to get all these cars and pay them off before I have kids.

Time
Money Motivation Being a car enthusiast means you only ever have two of the ingredients. When you're young you got Time and Motivation, but never enough money. As you get older you get more money but run out of time. Eventually you just lose all motivation. You finally get all 3 when you're 58 and going into a midlife crisis and suddenly make every cars and coffee with whatever "dream car" you always wanted - New M3, Credit Card Restored Classic, Corvette, Shelby GT500, Porsche... |

it all boils down to things falling into place correctly to be honest. for the past 2-3 years, ive been down to these last 3 big projects and all the minor shit ive wanted to take care of. after my ex moved her ass out, i didnt have to take care of her bullshit anymore and funds were freed up like whoa over night sooooooooo i decided that it was time to finish a MAJOR project in my life... that being my car and progress has continued non stop on it since i made that decision. the only drag is just the few weeks of waiting here and there to either get parts installed, get parts here from japan or get parts from manufacturers/vendors. thus far, things have been a blur of how quickly everythings been going in terms of progress! i think the only major deciding factor in your list is motivation... because when youre motivated all 3 will work together! |

Maybe I'm just a grumpy bastard but I think people who part out otherwise intact and complete cars need kicked in the nuts into the kicker is tired.

Lol, few years back, almost sold my s14, owned for 8 years. Last second turned down the offer and kept it. Sat for a few years more and now recently got back into the "scene". Jumped back on zilvia and started rebuilding the car..hence the user name. Couldnt be happier. Just sayn as i got older i realzied ill just keep my stuff work hard and can afford other things i want in life. So far all is going good.

I feel you on that one. Also what do they do with the chassis. Most of the time on these part outs I never see a bare bones chassis as one of the partout items.
