No, but it's a pretty common problem.

I'd throw some cash in the kitty for a revamp/debugging.

Hachiroku Meister on youtube and instagram. This car is obviously performance and can handle "canyon roads".

Seems to be a very mild build, bolt-ons and suspension. Simple and functional. No cage, no helmet... he is a madman.

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.

1) Plenty of droop. See image below.
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.

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.

Looks like a really fun car, but I'd get a cage and a helmet. That thing flips and he's done.

Not to belabor a point, but that's not enough droop.

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.

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...

im gonna argue with you on that. ive got all 3 back since my ex moved out in April and jesus raptor christ I have been making SO much head way with getting my S13 finished. since April, the laundry list of little things ive gotten done is super long and satisfying (lots of it minor details that needed seeing to). the first of 3 BIG projects ive been putting off for years is almost over (cleaning up the engine bay, painting + powder coating parts and installing + tuning my PowerFC DJetro and Tomei 740cc injectors). Big project 1 should be done in the next 2-3 weeks. Big project #2 is brakes, and ive already begun ordering some of the parts I need for that (wont be able to finish til December due to waiting on Parts Shop Max to get more of their rear Z32 calipers in stock, which is fine because i can buy all the pieces im missing in the mean time). Big project #3 will happen next year, which is body work + paint. a few minor projects after paint will be CF hood, wrap the roof and trunk lid in black vinyl aaaaaaaaaand a nice set of Recaro SR3s in confetti. im anticipating my car will be FINISH by end of next Summer!!!

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.

I've always wondered how much more people make off those part-outs to the bone. Seems like too much work removing all the parts only to deal with flakes, lowballers and the vast pile of parts everywhere.

That's the beauty of the project car. You can let it sit for 10 years and it will only cost you non-op fees. Just back in it and it only costs you as much as you're willing to put in to it.

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.
