Yes they are, got some adapters and what not, chances are they'll go on one of my other trucks or something. Idk if using adapters is the best idea. But hey they were a steal at $125

lol,as much as i'd like to tell you, there's no "safe" place around here. save it for the track. i'd hate to see you get locked up, or your car impounded. Va is notourious for finding shit like that.

lol what track, there aren't any. not to mention how am i supposed to get on a track and have car control if i can't even practice.
idk this area is the most annoying thing about building my car, I can't even use it at it's full potential.

Hey, it's the chance you gotta be willing to take. I'd like to say I won't street drift, but come on let's be serious. If you're cruising in your drift car with all the pavement in front of you at your disposal how can you not kick it out sideways. I'm not saying do it in broad daylight with a lot of traffic around, but maybe go out late one night when you and your car are the only thing at risk.

Not sure if this was any of you guys, or if anybody knew this dude, but here's a typically funny s-chassis noob story.
So my buddy tells me his friend just got a 240, his friend happened to be this kid that I couldn't stand in high school and always thought he knew what he was talking about. Well just today he picked up this s13
http://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/4415836592.html
I had seen it on craigslist a few days ago and showed it to a friend because it was pretty clean for the most part and the suspension seemed to be in good order.

Well not even a couple hours after my friend is like "yeah he just took me for a ride in it and was driving it like an idiot" I get a message saying "yeah he just wrecked it."

As far as I know, he pulled a loan out for it, payed 4500 for it, and fucked it in the same day. Haven't seen pictures, he just sent my friend a picture of the rear view mirror of a towtruck. lol.

Great 7 month vacation in a shit hole of a country called Qatar.

So I've lived and been to alot of places in the world. Lived in Japan, Philippines, UAE. Been to Kuwait, Iraq, Thailand, UK, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, France, Italy, Canada, Mexico...etc. But I have never in a country full of driving assholes. Qatar is it. Everybody in this shit hole country drives like they're the most important pricks in the world. They will go around 1 set of cars, cross 3 lanes to make a gawdamn right turn 50 feet later. They will take their SUVs and drive on the curb to get around traffic, then make a left turn at the intersection FROM THE RIGHT SIDE CURB. I swear if I ever talk shit about VA drivers when I get back, somebody slap the shit out of me.

On base but if I get to choose not to go offbase ever again...I wouldnt. There's nothing really worth a damn doing here, specially when shits so damn expensive. They're trying to bring in tourism here like UAE (Abu-Dhabi and Dubai) but there is absolutely nothing worth going here for. All I've done when I went off base is to watch movies and get something to eat. Most places, I'd end up spending $35 just for a meal.

This place has the same feel as Abu-Dhabi back in the late 80s. Thats how far behind this country is. I'd go insane if I have to be here for a year. God forbid this place becomes an accompanied tour for 2-3 yrs. I'd divorce my wife to save her the trouble of coming here.

Well I guess 14 year old me and my dad making a decent amount of money made Doha pretty fun. We played golf in the desert, took ATV's on the dunes, went to the Villagio a few times as well as the big ass mall, drove around the entire country in 6 hours, checked out the old fishing villages while doing that, checked out some museums, went to The Maze in the pearl, checked out some food in the sooks. But 2 months was defnitely too long for me, I spent most of the days playing WoW on his laptop while he was at work, I was ready to leave at the end of those 2 months lolol.

Nope, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I heavily contribute to that sort of stuff. I'll be at springfest with the Z.

Yah, the year prior, there were alot of opening. Myself and 2 other buddies of mine showed up a good hour after it started and we managed to park on the show side. Last year was completely packed 1 hr before it started. I couldnt find parking anywhere, ended up parking infront of a tent for the BMW guys I knew. Weather didn't cooperate but surprisingly people stuck around and still had a blast.

I think this thing is gonna be jam packed again. Plus with the new venue being the Convention Center, not sure how much space they got planned for the outdoor part. Figured they're gonna use the parking lot on the left side of the convention center for the outdoor section. That should be able to fit atleast 500 cars.

I say preregister since they're gonna start turning people away by 1230. If you dont, you better be there before 0900. I wonder if Nick and them got a map of how they're planning on doing the setup.

Preregistration is over for the show but you can still show up during load in time between 8 and 12 i believe and pay 30 bucks to get in the show. There's an outdoor and indoor venue but the indoor as been booked since February. I signed up for the outdoor back in January, there's over 350 people who have already preregistered on the site lol.

lol. they said they'll have the doors open for all pre-reg guys from 9-9 on friday. you may be able to convince them to park yours in early. don't quote me on that, but you'd have a better chance than people trying to stuff their cars in an hour before the show starts.

As soon as I decide what I want and get the money for it then yeah I'll be selling them for like 600 with tires probably, cause by that point the rear tires will be needing to be changed out anyway.

I'd love to get some custom made 4-lug XD9's but there's so many Type X's with XD9's. I'm thinking about getting the new Square G8's but I haven't seen how they look on an s13 yet so I'm not too sure. Definitely going with 18s though.

Overheated for no reason on the highway on the way there, I wasn't even pounding it just cruising 5th gear and noticed the temp going up. Pulled over and cut it off just before I hit the H, smoke going everywhere and overflow spitting out every last bit of coolant I had. Had my fried run to autozone and grab coolant, filled up the radiator and started up fine at normal temperatures. Pulled off and had no power and a terrible rod knock, by the time I mad it to another exit the car cut off and won't start back up.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted this motor when it came with a blown gt28rs

Oh, fuck 1320. Never been there, never will, because every story I hear is a horror story. I tell all my friends to avoid it like the plague. The way that guy selling the SR20 feels about Rameybuilt is how much I hate 1320.

The show was pretty good though. Pulled my Z in next to a pretty cool guy with a gorgeous S13. Didn't get to chat as long as I wanted but I got to stare at his car plenty. Dude said he was drag racing it and running 11's.

Oh haiiii! I got to meet smokescreen yesterday. The show was pretty good IMO. That orange Datsun Z was gorgeous.


For shops, I've heard terrible things about 1320. Also about Rameybuilt, mainly Shawn and how he treats his customers and has a history of not standing behind his work, although I will acknowledge that there are some good people working for him.

I recommend All Aspects for most installation/troubleshooting/tuning. For body work, either stock or modified or this guy Rick, who painted the silver Porsche that was at the conversion center entrance yesterday. Fab work, I would probably hit either MRD or I hear there's a really good dude at some muffler shop in Newport News. Maybe even Ramey because their fab guy is exceptional and they can't really fuck it up like if they tune your car wrong and then leave you with a blown motor and absolve themselves of all responsibility.

if anything id go to millennium (MRD) in portsmouth. They have had a part in all of my s13's, S15, JZS147, and now my R33. The owner is a long long time family friend and does good work.

My impression of Millenium has been hit or miss. You, Mike and a few other people recommend them but then, I've also seen some shenaniguns that came out of that shop. I remember seen an R33 where they broke the exhaust manifold stud and they tack welded the nut on the manifold to make it look like its still on.

Yeah I've heard some shitty rumors about MRD but I have a buddy who used to work there. He has a lot of connections as a former employee so I trust anything they would do with my car because of that. I do most of my own work other than body work, alignments and heavy fabrication though so I normally don't have a need for places like that anyway. I may have them fab a roll bar or cage one day though.

Thanks! I only do filming very rarely so I don't need to spend the money on camera sliders for better shots, the last time I even used my T2i was at ECHM lolol.
It was fun testing out the GoPro shots though, I've only had it a couple months and it was my first time using it for non-action related shots. I wanted to do a shot holding my monopod 6 feet in the air with the GoPro on it and go up and down each isle and then fast forward the shot, but soon after I got to the show I wanted to leave since I wasn't really in the best of moods.

But you know, they're too worried about "dey swag" and how you "disrespekin dem". Also about their trendy shitbox VW that deserves to be treated better than the myriad of valuable exotics and classics that show up every month.

Nowadays, I dont know whats worst, Honda Owners or VW Owners. Then again, everybody really has their bad apples that ruin it for everybody else. C&C better still be going on when I get back, thats the only thing that keeps my sanity in check out there. Probably wont be able to hit till August since I wont make the July one since I'm gonna be in SF then drive cross country back to VA.

Virginia beach has been carrying out some sort of crusade against car culture lately. It doesn't help when those shitlords do stupid stuff at car events but ultimately it is the property managers bitching about meets and the cops writing exhaust tickets because they don't want to be somewhere else actually doing their jobs. It is great that Jenro's is in Portsmouth now because the property owners aren't complaining and the cops are too busy dealing with actual important issues to care about some car nonsense. IMO, it should all be moved out of VB. They are far from good hosts so fuck em. Send the events, the flashy cars and the money somewhere else.

Since you brought up Jenros, wouldnt it be a kick ass idea to move C&C there and have them open for breakfast? Breakfast, coffee, cars and actually be where we are welcome.

I fucking hate the for sale only fags, especially the ones who try and sell their turd Hondas for above KBB. The mods started banning people for bashing overpriced FS threads and drag has become significantly less entertaining since. That said, I've met a lot of the people who bash and they're pretty cool IRL. It used to be fun to stir up shit and get a rise out of flat billed cretins but we were stirring shit in FS ads and that has been banned. Any more it is just a place to shoot the shit and talk about what everyone is doing that weekend. Oh, and post porn and dook/dope.

Never been to pungo but I hear it sucks dak. Lots of cracks in the concrete, grass growing through it that nobody cuts. Stuff like that. I will say I went a couple times and it seemed more sociable than other autoX events. Lots of kickass cars too, cobra kits and such. I did a few ride alongs and had quite a lot of fun.

If you want a better venue, try ACU4 at the little creek base. It is run by the same group and is a much better surface to run on. I actually tried to sign up for the next one in mid May today but it was filled up. They have a few more coming up though. I'll definitely be attending the earliest one that still has spots. Haven't autocrossed since early last year and I want to get back into it.

Also, lol @ the faggle pic. Shits getting hard on driven. They won't let us rip on the dick riding Honda for sale faggles so the pickings have become quite slim as far as people whose jimmies we can rustle goes :(

Question is, what turbo are you planning on running later down the road? If you say larger than a GT2871R, ie GT30XX, then you'd pretty much have to spend the money on a good T3 flanged top mount manifold. But if your plan is GT2871R, which I recommend myself, then get with CodyAce and have him extrude hone the stock manifold and weld an external wastegate V-band flange on it.

I'm good, I'm working on this one for $1350. Plus, there's a bunch more popping up on Trulia now. There's 1 in Saunders for $1250 but the agent wont reply to emails for shit. Another one popped up in Foxhill for $1350. Figured, worst case scenario, if none of these houses pan out, there are a few for $1500-1550 that I dont see going off the market anytime soon.

Considering I have more money into my RB than what I paid for the R33, that's pretty accurate.

Holy shit, you're still in NM? Figured your ass would have done the Korea back to Japan tour. Was Bush there too? I know his ass is heading to mainland after doing Korea.

You got a shroud too? I think I can fanagle the KA fan on, shroud is what I really need more than anything.

getting real tired of 8.75 per hour job. won't be until late august before I have enough money for 2871 setup on my new motor that I haven't been able to start yet because I had to order a new cold pipe for the greddy manifold. god damn 240s being expensive and shit. so worth though.

^^^You didnt need a cold pipe. You could have just cut the S13 cold pipe you have to line up with the relocated TB on the S13 Greddy style intake manifold.

Wouldn't I need new hose though? I've got the whole ISIS FMIC kit right now. don't even have tools to cut metal lol. I found a cold pipe for like 50 bucks it's just not gonna be here for a while.
Also, where can I ground my fuel injectors? I'm thinning I'll have to extend the wires to reach the firewall or something.

Hose? You talking about the IACV line? Usually those are located further down the pipe where you need to cut it.

As far as grounding, its ground, you as long as you bolt it down on something thats bare metal, it should be good to go.

so for those that don't know yet i am painting the s14 daily driver after dealing with a hit and run on it a month ago. Just ordered new lips for the meisters that were on it in the front to make them the new rears and moved the old 18x10 +15 rears to the front. Here's some pics of the color sprayed out on the trunk. Other than wheels and a few new arms to replace what was damaged in the steering the car is pretty much staying how it was, with full jdm aero with dmax roof and trunk wings how it was before. And yes i am painting that ugly ass kevlar bwave hood that i have on it body color once i make it smooth.

I'm referring to the hose between the IC piping and TB.
As far as the grounding though, the ground wires aren't even and inch long, I'll have to extend them to reach anything.

For those of you who expressed interest in getting into autocross, TSCC is holding a cone clinic at ACU4 on the 14th of June. Registration opened today. It looks like it will be a lot of instruction geared towards novices, and a good opportunity for noobs.

Just like cars, might be low on freon.

Talked to a hvac guy. He gave me a couple things to tell you.

The first thing is to check the condenser coils and make sure there cleaned off and not filthy. Usually pet fur causes this.

Also it may be low on freon, which means you could have a small leak in the system. The reason its not blowing cold and the system still blows is because the unit has a low pressure switch which triggers whenlow on fluid, saving the unit. Now if youe wife or whoever is there heres the compressor trying to kick on or is running and the freon is low itll burn it up. I wouldnjust turn it off or to fan only.
