2stepGoesPowPow is an unknown quantity at this point
I started thinking about what i wanted to do with the car, i didnt really wanna go any further with the SR & I was kinda missing my FC. I considered selling the car but i knew i wouldn't get anything close to what i invested in it. So i kept driving the car and continued to think over my options.

I was pretty close to having my whole type x kit so i jumped on the chance to get a type x front bumper from local hombre josh/ ka24debt as soon as he told me he was selling it. So since i didn't have a front bumper on i test fitted it real quick.





Now my type x kit was pretty much complete i just needed kouki tail lights.

I started hosting S-Chassis meet's at sonic about once a month. There was pretty good turnouts, mostly JDM RWD cars & no ricer's doing burnouts or any other stupid shit.













September 29th 2012 i did the normal 3k mile oil change.







I had a Sonic meet that saturday i believe it was the next day, a little while before everyone started leaving i realized a puddle under my car i had leaked out about half a quart of oil, I thought i probably forgot the rubber gasket ring around the oil filter from the last one but i felt the filter and drain plug and there was no oil on either. A friend had some oil so i topped off before leaving and drove home taking it real easy. The next day i checked out the car and it ended up leaking from the oil pressure switch for the gauge. Very weird, i was pretty confused how the hell that happened. It was almost time to put the car away for the season so i had pretty much narrowed it down to two options. I was going to either sell my car for probably $5k and save all winter long to get an FD rx-7, which for a clean stock one would easily be $11k or do a complete overhaul on my car. I figured it was kinda stupid to save so much and then have a much slower car then spending half the money for an FD on performance for the S13 and have a beast. Plus if i got an FD id want to go straight for Street port, seals & single turbo so thats another ton of money. So i decieded to stick with the S13 and take it to its full potential and wasted little time pulling the motor with my friend Alex & parting most of the stuff out.
