Some of you might remember me. Betting most wont. Here's a small progress update:

I've been rebuilding my S14 every now and then, and have gotten it up to a driveable state. Early comp test showed 80psi in the #1 cylinder, but since it wasn't smoking I figured I'd drive it around anyways to flog some kinks out while waiting for my built motor to get rebuilt. Lately I've been getting "braver" and did a few 10psi tests. Car is puffing every now and then but not really blowing oil out, so I'm betting my rings are decent.

Some specs for those that don't know:
D2 coilovers: 9kg/ 7kg springs
Whiteline sways
Lots of lateral bars
18x10 Motegi Touge wheels, 285/30/R18 Kumho V710 tires (x4)

KA24DE engine
GT28RS turbo (on the "original" T25 flange KA manifold)
Bunch of one-off custom crap

Who the hell is this guy???

hehe...welcome back.

Good to see the S14 running again.


Next to the DD:


I swear...in some ways, our cars live are connected..or we both have the SAME taste.

S14 KA-T setups and the hacked-MAF stuff we were both working on a few years back...

And we recently bought a "Diamond Graphite" G35 coupe for my wife, looks just like your daily driver:

Anyway, stick around and keep us up to date with the S14 progress.

they're heavy and cheap, but big enough to fit a mediocre tire. can't wait to get some 18x12's and 18x14's and run some real tires. Actually just passed up a great deal on some CCW's due to shelling out for an Endurance Karting event (was fun as hell though).
