bataangpinoy's coupe build
 
Over the summer I got rid of my e30 and stepped into this shitbox hatch:
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...x/frontend.jpg
which i hated with a passion.
I traded it for a complete sr20 swap, which had a built head but a blown bottom end. I picked up a better bottom end from Sean guynup, and i plan to hone that block and add new rings and bearings before i slap it together.

First off, let me thank all the veterans out there, and all those still serving. Without them, i would probably not have the capacity to write this article from the comfort of my leather couch.

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/.../thegarage.jpg

My birthday just passed, and my parents really went all out for no apparent reason and got me a tool chest. After assembling the chest and cleaning the garage, Tom and I mocked up most of the head to seewhat hardware I would need to order, to look for additional damage, and to mock up hose length for when we make my turbo lines out of braided line.

Additionally, my friends dad's friend was a machinist before he retired. had him look at the block, and he said that its in surprisingly good shape.
He said that a good hone will set me straight, and showed me how to use a stone hone (the three legged thing). I figured the moon was a good omen!

i clean the garage for them, minor house repair etc.. but they are very very cool, i taught my dad slide control in the snow and sooner or later i plan to take him to an event.

my mom likes to jump in a car with me when im drifting, and i slide my driveway once in a while.

i love my folks, i wouldnt be anything without them

RB180sxChris 11-16-2011 09:00 PM

see you got the cool filipino parents i got the oppsite lol.....you go to etown? or that spot up in queens?

bataangpinoy 11-16-2011 09:30 PM

binghampton, etown, i ran monticello twice, LVD once, but havent been to the drift zombies shit in queens yet.

EvoVIII808 11-16-2011 09:58 PM

Good luck with your build, looks like your starting off in the right direction.

I got ready to assemble the motor over Presidents Day weekend, but Nissanparts.cc screwed me over. I had paid for and ordered STD size bearings but they sent me .050” oversize bearings. Additonally, they didnt send me the lower rad hose I ordered or the trans bolt kit. And I cant get in touch with them either. They just lost a customer. Here is what it looks like after I broke it down and honed it.

i ordered something from them and they told me they wouldnt ship it to my work address so i asked them to cancel the order. never got a response, part showed up today (2 weeks later) after i already purchased one. no response from anyone there after about 10 emails and calls

shaggy sr 03-06-2012 02:04 PM

nice project u built! keep us updated, dude

bataangpinoy 03-06-2012 02:19 PM

thanks guys! this thing still has a long way to go, but its alot closer to being done this season than i thought it would be.

Wait till you guys see what else I've got planned for it.

KravingAKouki 03-06-2012 08:58 PM

After that being said, I am intrigued as to what it may be, good job so far man keep it up!

xdumbxguyx 03-07-2012 01:30 AM

You're hones look a bit straight and no cross hatched enough.
Maybe its the photos but have your pop's friend look at it before further assembling

illvialuver 03-07-2012 03:35 AM

keep at it, good luck getting your parts.

Pinggg 03-07-2012 09:17 AM

Damn, sucks to hear that about nissanpart.cc

It's just the photos, I had him look at it on presidents weekend when i thought I'd be assembling it and he said that it'd be fine.

The law of attraction has proven itself true time and again. Whether it was attracting the wrong kind of girl for me or even cigarettes; if I had something playing on repeat in my mind it would find me in some obscure manner. I thought that I'd never get my car even close to done, but being genuine with people has paid off. Good things rarely come back full circle, but when they do, it makes life a hell of alot easier. It's going to be a long, pic heavy post so grab your favorite drink and a snack; you'll be here for a minute.....Ready? Here we go!



If I needed small S13-specific hardware Mike, a long time drifter and now local, hooked it up; no questions asked.

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_0215.jpg


Andrew over at D-Up! hooked it up and allowed me to "intern" over there since sometime this passed September, and the experience has proven to be invaluable. I work my hardest to help make things move along smoothly. Check out the practice welds!

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_0090.jpg


Evan at D-Up! literally donated 2 sets of wheels and 3 pairs of tires to me so that my car would have something to roll on. I am more than grateful, and I'm still looking for a way to return the kindness. Perhaps I'll cover his entry fee at an upcoming event.
Here is the first set:

And the second set:

Because of their contributions, my build has taken a turn in the right direction. I'm dead serious, I wouldn't even be close without help. Here is where I am at as of today.


This is whats going to decorate my Office for 2012 race season. Grip Royal's Royal Hills steering wheel (It was created and named for this blog, ask Scott if you don't believe me!), Slimline QR Tomei 70mm, and a TF RELAX in black mounted on Nams Rails.

Here is the side shot of my car, and Tom's (hillside's) recently finished 95 zenki.
You should have seen the look on his face when I brought it back to him after finishing some minor suspension adjustments and fitted on the mustang wheels. The car felt great, and we took it out for some testing. I loved it, and Tom must have because he drove it well too!
