Kenzo

Picked this up the other day, not sure weather I want to keep it and build it into a daily driver, or flip it and save myself from my wife. Car has a CA18DET with GT28 turbo, walburo fuel pump, unkown rails/injectors, Godspeed front mount intercooler. Body needs a little bit of love, rust free frame and strut towers. More mods to list as I examine the car.

i dont really see the point of making a new thread for this we already have a couple of threads where u can post pictures of your car.

Kenzo

Oh boy, a facepalm picture, how about I'm new at this and I didn't know the forum etiquette for picture threads. If you don't like the way I did this, ----> There is the door.

dreizm728

What do you want for it?has it been dynoed?

Kenzo

It's been tuned and dyno'd, not sure the peak hp, Engine was installed by JDM Elite with about 50k km on the motor. Unsure if it has been reinforced. Needs a clutch and a battery relocate. My wife is not happy about me dropping more money on it. I'd prefer to keep it, but if the boss say's it goes then I have to try and break even.

ethantudor

Nice! Looks good man!

dreizm728

Lol its Elite JDM I know the guy that owns it he has a RHD s13 but back to the subject why did you get it if she didn't approve what did you pay for it? What do you want for it seems like it needs work

stilmissmysti

well at least the dash looks clean, not gonna be cheap to bring that car back to life

s14>integra

car looks like a drift missile. Should be perfect if that's what you intend to use it for. Otherwise, it will take a lot of work to make it look clean. +1 for new projects though.

Pinggg

Sell its, looks like somebody else's mess.

Cause he just got the car the other day he did not do anything to since he's owned it

Kenzo

Still negotiating with the wife, it's not that she is mad about the car, she's just not keen on dropping money into it.

RedTopKA-T

Every part u buy for the car you have to get the wife something of equal value that's how it works.! Lol gonna be expensive

Kenzo

A divorce might be cheaper, lol, only thing I own is a minivan and a s13 she hates.

Kenzo

My Financing Department (Read: wife) has approved my budget proposal. Starting tomorrow, Operation Kenzo Kar will begin.

RedTopKA-T

Nice, I wanna see how it comes out!

dreizm728

Keep up us posted oh what's your budget? Its not gonna be too cheap

Kenzo

I got approved for 1k to make it drivable, already got a pile of parts for 150. Only hard part will be a clutch. I'll have spent a total of 3 large total, so the closer I get it to what I want for a grand the better. Also, anyone have tips for the battery? I'm interested in relocating it, but would be willing to get a custom intercooler pipe on the passenger side.

dreizm728

This might help
Low-Budget Battery Relocation

Kenzo

Thanks Dreizm, I used to be a tech at Strauss and previous 240 owner, but any and all reminders help a lot (Sincere, not sarcastic). Made some progress, got three out of four wheels replaced, last one is stuck on by one lug, cheap-ass wheel locks stripped out. New mirrors wired in, and driver seat replaced with a charcoal S-14 seat. Picking up an S-13 passenger seat tomorrow, as well as swapping out the stock bumpers I picked up for ones that fit. I guess an unofficial sponsor is Rich at Northern Liberties Auto. He's been a big help for finding stock parts to make this thing an approximately 270 whp sleeper. I'll post some progress pics, I re-primered some spots that had red bleeding through, and cleaned up the interior. I hope some people are interested in this nonsense thread, unlike post # 3.

dreizm728

Yea man no problem I work for Infiniti I'm a tech there if you have any questions hit me up if you get stuck on something let me know oh and for that wheel lock you can buy a set of wheel lock removers or a Turbo Socket they work great are are not expensive

Ridiculous Wobble

in the same boat as you, man. jus picked up a 92 coupe needed a ton of TLC i been working on it solid for a week now de-ricing it and cleaning it up! car has come a LOOOOONG way! i'll be posting my build thread tomorrow possibly.. jus wanna finish cleanin up my door panels an get them back on then im good 2 go!

Best of luck to you with your build, man! hope you dont run into any major problems along the way.

Kenzo

Been a little bit since I've been able to post an update. Car starts and runs, just needs a clutch now. New gauges, bumpers and interior. Fixed some wiring issues with the CA18. Next step is to yank the engine and clean it up while I wait for the clutch.

Trying to find a way to host pictures currently.
