my s13 experience

[((sr)) kelly]

i never made any intro or anything so here is mine:rolleyes:


im 16, and have only had my license for about 7 months.. but ive been working on cars from the age of 14..

from bondo work, to completely rebuilding a crappy honda d series from the block up, to even a rb20det swap into my fathers 280z


sadly i have never been able to truly build my own car, but that is just from lack of money,,, not skill or time.

i bought my first real car at the age of 15... it was a s13 that had a sr20det in it, a greddy turbo , MR mani, s13 lsd, and a safc

i installed the fmic, 36way adj coilovers Ksport, exhaust, 255 lph pump, prof sheepdog bov, and a few more goodies..


the car had alot of rust on it, so i didnt want to sink anymore money in it...

i sold it for 5700, so i only lost about 400 over a years time of having it..


in the time of looking for a new project s13 that i could build, i found a bargin i couldnt resist.. so i had to buy it... i know it will never be my car, but for 6700, it was un resistable:naughtyd:

[arkive43]

[TheTimanator]

more pics of your dad's 280!!! :bigok:

[realslow]

clean your dash. and get that car tuned

[kandyflip445]

Nice stuff. I wish my paint still looked as shiney as the first one. Damn that Maaco job the last owner got. :cry:

Thanks for changing your sig. ;)

[HalveBlue]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's nice and all. But I think I speak for all of us when I say: More pics of the Z, please. :bow:


J/K (Kinda). But for someone whose biggest problem is a lack of money you sure do have a lot of mods.

P.S. Zebulon?! Come on, that's a put on, right? I mean, who named that town, Gene Roddenberry? :bowrofl:

P.S.S. Good luck with your project.

[Roc]

Watch out for Murphy!

[BustedS13]

1.) where did you get seven grand at 16 years old
2.) pics of the z :d

[((sr)) kelly]

well my parents generously gave me 2k, but all the rest came from doing hours and hours of construction... my dad is a cool guy, so he split the profit with me 50/50.. even thought he did about 75% of the work...

he didnt care since he had a full time job building circuit boards, etc....

my parents lowned me 700 to fully buy the car, as of right now, i owe them about 430....

i plan on putting in some 740cc injectors and getting them tuned down... my goal is around 380whp.... also probably add a SARD rising rate Fpr., and maybe a lip for the front and some side skits to cover up a huge dent in the rocker panal...low profile ones... nothing flashy at all...




heres pics of the Z :)



how he bought it....

Very Nice.

[unicoladron]

uhh ur a rich ass 16 year old, when i was 16 i couldn't even afford pegs for my bike. so i stole them...

[Bushido]

the body looks to be pretty clean on the 280z, never did like the "modern" bumpers for them, but it's a matter of preference I guess. what year is it? I'm going to guess it's a 76.

what mounts/drive shaft did you use for the RB?

There is an Introduction Thread and a Picture Thread for a reason.
