First time polishing metal with a serious motive. The left side is already wire wheeled, but the end product on the right looks WAY better than they both did when I started.




Finished assembling the fuel rail. Got the SARD 650cc injectors installed as well as some AN fittings for the fuel lines. The fuel rail was powder coated slate gray metallic by Snail Motorsports here in Vegas. Those polished brackets are looking pretty good on there too.





Better shot of the powder coat. Not too flashy, but oh so nice.

Almost forgot, but I need a little insight.


Is this dumb? I found this transmission cooler on Summit and I wanted to use it for my power steering cooler. Is it stupid to mount a solid object like this in front of the radiator? I really like this spot and it seems like the cooler was basically meant to go there from the start.


Do you think this cooler would be efficient? It's dual-pass, aluminum, and ultra-finned for her pleasure. The cooler is 12 inches long for reference. Would I be better off with the traditional style cooler that allows air to pass through? I'm no physics expert, but I'm pretty sure the air will flow right around this and into the radiator.

The fins on the cooler act as a heat sink and airflow is not how it necessarily sheds heat. It sheds it based of area (more fins, more surface area to shed heat).

I would NOT put a solid object in front of the radiator.......The 240 already has enough problems getting flow to and then through the radiator without proper ducting, and this will just exaggerate the problem.

These were my thoughts as well. Maybe I should return it and buy a different type...

Or relocate it. That cooler is meant to be mounted in a way that the air flows along the cooler, not across it.

Good to know. The damn thing is 12 inches long so I'm not sure where i would put it so that the air would pass over it parallel to the length of the cooler. I'll see if i can find a spot to put it down by the bash bar or something.

Well a little research brought me to this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-13309/overview/


So I'm thinking I'm going to return the cooler I have and get that.


Either that or the other option would be to get this and mount it in nearly the same spot as the one pictured.


http://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-13223/overview/


None of my previous cars had power steering coolers but I want to make sure I have something adequate enough for those hot summer days out here.


Do you think the additional passes of the first cooler would make for better cooling than the two much lengthier passes on the second cooler?

its all about total length. either of those will do more than enough though. just pick the one that fits your mounting place better.

My apologies for the lack of updates, I have been dealing with some serious anxiety issues lately. In and out of both the hospital and work but still trying to get some things done here and there when I can.


Anyway...on to the updates


Decided that if I was going to remove ABS, I'd get rid of the rings on the hubs too. Don't half ass anything, right?







Temporarily laid the coil packs to rest after polishing the brackets a little bit.







Per suggestion I returned the other cooling unit and bought this Derale P/S cooler with -6AN fittings already incorporated. Gonna have my buddy weld up some brackets for this next time the car is at his shop. I decided to complete the lines for the whole P/S system as well. They turned out pretty good IMO.










I had a chance to begin installing the rear knuckles as well. They are going to require a bit of adjustment on the arms to get everything squared up for initial install. Gonna work on that part later when I have some more time.

Oh, that update was on the last page.

I just needed the hubs for now. The voice inside my head is telling me to buy new ones though...cuz they'd be cleaner...

HAHAHA, thanks man.


I actually ended up with that by accident. I had originally ordered the Beech P/S reservoir. It was on back order so DriftMotion said they would ship it out when they received it. Months later I remembered that I still hadn't received it, so I contacted DM and told them what was going on. They said that they couldn't get any type of ETA from Beech, so they wanted to know if I would accept a new product that they were developing instead for the price I paid for the Beech reservoir. The decision wasn't hard.

Small update, home and work life have been busy. I've accomplished a few things, but I'm not quite ready for any new pics just yet.

I did get the manifold ceramic coated in high temp silver and threw the wastegate on there.

Haven't had much time to get anything done, so I decided to trim the last bit off excess crap off of the throttle body. Slowly but surely I will get this car finished.




I also did a little work on smoothing out the inside of the throttle body where the two pieces were welded together.




I stripped one of the studs on the intake manifold side of the head due to the increased thickness of the thermal gaskets. It was clear that I needed to make my own so I swooped by Lowes and picked up some M8x1.25 threaded rod and some slightly longer bolts to replace the factory ones.




I threw the two thermal gaskets on there so that you can see how much thickness is actually added. Had I known any better, I would have had the upper intake manifold welded to the lower runners to eliminate that second gasket. That shit is too difficult to source on it's own and I didn't want to run two thermal gaskets. I had my factory gasket but it was in absolutely terrible shape.




Put in some work today to get the engine back to a point that it hasn't been in for a long time. Valve covers were powder coated but there are still several components that need to be cleaned up. I was getting sick of parts sitting all around the garage and couldn't wait any longer to put this thing back together. I still have so much left to do, but I feel accomplished today. I managed to get the Wiring Specialties pro series harness installed as well. Now that the harness is in place, I can go back to the interior and finish up some things in there. The harness tucked in really nicely and it was a dream working with new connectors. Usually all of my connectors are stuck or broken.

If anyone needs anything from Wiring Specialties, you can use discount code ERIKDRIFT at checkout for 10% off your entire order.

Thanks Mike! It's been a lot of work so far. I'm still hoping to have it running this summer and completed well before the end of the year. Wife is still taking night classes, so I'm constantly strapped for time to complete projects.

I still need to clean up the fuse panel and re-wire everything but I'm definitely pleased with the end result.

Great read! Not sure how I am just now seeing this but I am glad I stopped in. Best of luck with all of the anxiety issues- I went through something similar with my mother a few years back and it takes a toll, let alone being the one with the actual anxiety.

I know how it is trying to get things done with two little ones at home as well- it can be tough! Props to you for being a good dad and still trying to hang in this silly hobby of ours.

E's '95 S14 Build - The true "forever" build

Thanks a lot man! I love your car BTW. It really makes me want to build a clean stock bodied "Type-X" hatch exclusively for street use. Sadly I don't have the time or the money to take on a second project.

I have that same exact power steering cooler you have, except mine is mounted under the radiator support. I will say that before I put in the cooler my fluid was practically boiling. The installation of the cooler has dramatically lowered my fluid temps.

I haven't been lurking around the build threads, usually DIW thread only lol,
but finally stumbled upon your build and read it fully. during work lol

I have to say, being originally from Japan and a father to a daughter, much respect to you sir, and hope you recover fully from your battles

Seems like your time in Japan was not wasted since you brought back awesome family, and congrats on the new one as well

Thanks man! I am in the same boat. I would love to have an S14 someday but it just isn't going to happen right now. Perhaps when I am old and (more) gray than I am now, haha.

I have to say, being originally from Japan and a father to a daughter, much respect to you sir, and hope you recover fully from your battles

Seems like your time in Japan was not wasted since you brought back awesome family, and congrats on the new one as well

Yeah, definitely no time wasted. The 6 years I spent in Japan were the best years of my life so far. Haven't had too much fun after returning to the states, but I'm hoping that 2016 will be the year that I get things going. I've got big plans for me and my friends, so I'm hoping things all fall into place soon. I'm so jealous seeing events like Final Bout and not being able to participate. As badly as I want seat time, though, my OCD won't allow me to cut corners on the car just for the sake of getting it done.

My main worry is that by the time I'm able to afford it, there won't be any clean hatchbacks left. I don't need to buy the cleanest car, but their are so many ruined chassis' out there that are just beyond repair or are not worth building.

Not much of an update, but I bought all new hubs just because it's one of those things that I felt like replacing.



Also bought some PBM bling for me and my homie.



I have decided to join Paisa Drift as well. I copped this mustang hood so that I don't feel weird when I run over any innocent bystanders... [emoji16]

Hey few questions for ya,

you plan on making that hood fit?
Whatd you use to make such a nice polish for the rails? did you clean up headlights too?
and are you considering a bashbar for all the roadkill?
