A Poor Man's Dream S13.

[PoorMans180SX]

To flare or not to flare, that is the question

[unwtdhero]

This build, gawd. Are you on the vq fb group?

[PoorMans180SX]

Yes I believe I am.

That front end setup is so cool. Hurry up and finish so I can read about how awesome it is to drive

Haha, I'm trying! All the parts I need are either being modified, or on their way to my house. I just need a fuel pump it seems.

Is that your final ride height? I'd say no flare! Lol

[PoorMans180SX]

The tire is pushing the whole fender up in that picture because of the spacers. I tuck a bit of tire in the front.

This is looking good. I like all the quality parts. I think the new Origin fenders would look better than the flares.

Thanks man. I do think the new fenders would look better, unfortunately these are about 80+mm wider than stock with the flares, so there isn't really another fender on the market, but I may not run as much spacer. I'm still debating on the flares actually.

Just ordered my vlsd output shafts so I can install my diff along with some axle spacers, Walbro 255, 3.69 final drive, and handbrake "seahorse" extenders. My wiring and everything else should be here in the next two weeks, which means the car should run and drive this month with a little fab and hard work.

Anything else going on? By far my favorite thread on Zilvia. Looking forward to the turnout!

Not too much, I'm kinda saving an update for when I actually has some progress rather than just shots of parts. This weekend I think I will put an update together, as I should have some good progress to report.

[PoorMans180SX]

I should make some good progress this weekend. Finally have 98% of the parts here. I've decided to go all out, widening the front end for max lock clearance. I'll have some pictures of a more "complete" car after this weekend, but for now, here's some steering angle:

[OBEEWON]

I say no flare. Build looks sweet.

[PoorMans180SX]

Got a bunch of parts. Installed most of said parts.









Pulled my fenders and added 28mm spacers. Engine wiring should be in next week.



Tire hits fender before camber arm hits chassis. This is good.

Are you running a Z32 bmc? Where can I get those lines and fittings?

[smartoss]

I think the brake lines need to be moved around on the BMC, the two ports closest the firewall should be the two front lines and the one furthest away is for the rear.

This is actually a Z31 master. It's in between the S13 and Z32 And has a better split point. I'm using a Chase Bays kit.

Thanks. Someone else pointed that out and it's been fixed .

The car definitely isn't going to make it .

[rv_zenki]

That sucks man. I was hoping I would get to see it! Lol

[PoorMans180SX]

[Motary]

boooooooooo

[PoorMans180SX]

Back from the dead! Sooo as most of you know, this car has been mostly parted out at this point, but I picked up another running and driving fastback and made some... changes.




Drove this car back from North Carolina:



Tore out the subframes.



Put the J2 coilovers and TDP kit on it, welded the diff, etc:



Clutch was dead by the time I got it home:





Anddd it's current state of disrepair, but it runs and drives, and I can already tell the front kit is going to be amazing.LOTS, LOTS more to come for both cars, but for now I'm going to get this thing legal and beat the daylights out of the KA until I can decide which direction I want to go with either chassis.

[PoorMans180SX]

Did some block sanding of the horrendous bodywork on this thing. It needs overs and fenders pretty badly.

[vJilly]

so 4g63 time like what you should have done right? haha
