Well time for an update, after living off Ramen noodles, Spam, and rice for the last couple months so I can save up for a full suspension overhaul, this is what the UPS man delivered to me over the past few days!!!

Godspeed sway bars

Projectsilvia RUCA's

Tein tie rods and ends

Slightly used JIC majic rear toe arms

SPL tension rods

Slightly used KTS coilovers

Energy suspension Steering rack bushings
Hopefully to install a majority of this stuff in the next couple days. Sorry for the shitty pics, took it with my cell phone.

sa3reghatch · 05-13-2007, 10:44 AM

Now onto my performance upgrades.

So, instead of bying parts to complete my build piece by piece, I just saved up over the past few months and decided to get all my engine upgrades all at once. Well, after weeks of waiting for my manifold to be made, the UPS man visited me yesterday!!! All this is going on to the fullybuilt SR that is going in the sileighty. Most of the work will be done by my boy C'los here in Killeen, TX.
Full race divided twin scroll top mount manifold! Piece of art!! Almost dont wanna put it in my car to get dirty!!!

GT3071R twin scroll turbo .78 A/R!!

Another full race masterpiece, 3 inch downpipe!!

44mm tial wastegate

830cc deatschwerks injectors

xo2 racing polished "greddy" knockoff Intake manifold

Now just waiting for my Enthalpy tuned ECU and my performance goals should be achieved. Oh yea, maybe a one piece driveshaft.......geesh this project is NEVERENDING!!!!!!

Edgar · 05-13-2007, 12:27 PM

sa3reghatch · 05-28-2007, 09:38 PM

another update. After a 2 month wait, my RIMS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!
Work XD9's 18x10 and 17x9.5 with +18 and +17 offset respectively.
What can I say, I like the color of my rims like I like the color of my women, bronze skinned!!!

rps13drift · 05-28-2007, 10:01 PM

^^^beautiful!!!

myzislow · 05-28-2007, 10:42 PM

looks like you are putting together one awesome ride, job well done.

xblack240x · 05-28-2007, 10:51 PM

Nice parts list, and the XD9's are hot... I like the way you decided to do things, I'll probably do the same... Keep us updated and good luck

rb25_s13*CHUKI · 05-28-2007, 10:55 PM

Holy fuck a twin scroll giant ass turbo nice nice. I like ur style

nissanguy13 · 05-29-2007, 03:32 AM

It looks like its going to be a beast, cant wait to see as the car comes together and the end result

johngriff · 05-29-2007, 03:38 AM

Similar basics to:

Now you just have to do it as clean!

sa3reghatch · 10-12-2007, 05:37 PM

UPDATE!!
Well finally got it out the body shop last friday. Tony's did a really good job, that big ass dent in the rear driver's side quarter panel must have been a BITCH!!! Also slapped on the Kouki wing. Now just waiting on my Origin kit(suppose to be here next week) before the paint goes on. I'm getting really excited as this project is finally starting to fall into place. Damn need a fender roller!!!

sa3reghatch · 10-12-2007, 05:40 PM

UPDATE!!!

Finally had time off this weekend to do the front five lug conversion and Big Q45 brake upgrade. Was kinda a pain in the ass since this is being the first time I have ever changed out hubs, though the calipers and rotors were really easy. Couldnt do the rears due to the fact I am gonna need the rear fenders rolled, and I dont have the tool yet(hopefully this week though). Now on to the Pictures.

This is a comparison picture of the stock S13 rotor and caliper and the bigger much beefier Infinity Q45 rotor and caliper.

Here is what they look like when installed. YAY 5 lug FTW!!!

Slapped the front wheels on. Man they look pretty good. I had to raise the front coilovers some, but I think I raised them a little too much, will have to lower it about half an inch more.

Kinda hard to see in this pic, but them wheels do poke out a little. Looks good though.
Had to put some 5mm spacers on because rim was hitting coilover.

Right when I was done, I was going to bleed the brakes when I noticed brake fluid leaking out the passenger side Q45 caliper!!! Gotta get it rebuilt. FUCKING PROJECT CARS!!!!

sa3reghatch · 10-12-2007, 05:41 PM

Well I replaced that leaky ass front brake caliper. Tried to do my rear hubs, but needed one big motherf**king socket that I didnt have, so will have to get to that later. I swear I cant wait for this project to be over!!! Matter of fact, I was so pissed off at it the other day, I was really thinking of saying forget it and sell everything off!!! Lucky seelos talked me out of it. So I was still pissed off to this very day until mr UPS man brought me this......

One piece aluminum driveshaft. Thing is light, weighs like 12 pounds. While I am having to work this weekend

, seelos may have time to get the beast started up.
Then its just rear hubs and wheels and paint job, and my nightmare will be over.....for the time being. Oh yea, never rent that fender rolling tool that attaches to your hub.
Gonna go ghetto style and bring the ole Louisville Slugger to work its magick.

sa3reghatch · 10-12-2007, 05:42 PM

Update!!!

Well, put on my "SUPPOSED" N/A 300zx rear 5 lug hubs on yesterday. And tah dah!!! They fucking fit!!!! But, the bearing grove was too big for my axle!!!! So, I came to the conclusion it must have been rear hubs for a TT 300zx. Just my fucking luck! Oh well, I left the hubs on so I can put the rear wheels on and roll the fenders the ghetto K-town style(baseball bat courtesy of seelos)! Actually came out alot better than I expected.
Now on with the pics!!!

Yea I know the front drivers side tire is flat.

Angle shot, kinda hard to see the rolled fender.

Can see the rolled fender a little better. Damn thats some nice lipage. Freakin wheels are wide as hell on the rear, had to pull the fender about 2 inches or so. Now I need to find either S14 5 lug rears or N/A 300zx rear hubs. Then it'll be ready for paint.

Z33dori · 10-12-2007, 05:42 PM

my bud has Full Race manifold with GT3071.....pretty responsive, very powerful

your gonna love it

**ThatGuy** · 10-12-2007, 05:43 PM

You seem to have done some research on your other parts, why not do the same for the body. It's not a "Type-X" wing, it's a Kouki wing.

[/PetPeeve]

Decent project otherwise.

that type x thing really kills u dont it....lol

sa3reghatch · 11-25-2007, 09:35 PM

update!! Damn its been awhile, but anyways, things have been coming along slow but steady. Well, Clos and I got the car semi-running this weekend. We got all the turbo components on and took her for a spin around the block, but something is definately out of wack. So, just like any other project, got some troubleshooting to do. Well, here is a engine shot with all the goodies attached. Still needs to be cleaned up a little.

It's like calling anything from an Integra 'Type R'.

motorsnail · 11-25-2007, 10:56 PM

Ask and you shall receive. Buddy of mine slapped on the Origin kit and painted her.
Well, finally decided to take pics of her. She's pretty much done with the exception of the wing needs to be painted and put on and the front grill needs to be put on. Then I need to spend some time on the interior. Then inspection and registration and she should be good to go. Who knows how long that will take, probably like a month with my procrastinating ass. She could also use a good wash and needs to be lowered another 1/2 inch up front. Anyways, Enjoy!

*MELLO*SOS* · 12-27-2007, 05:22 PM

cool thread.. car looks a million times better painted and with the kit. what's next?

GSXRJJordan · 12-27-2007, 05:23 PM

I'm sure you already figured this out, but you should throw a filter on that MAF (and a little piping too), as they don't like the turbulence that comes from an open-air setup like those first engine bay shots showed.

Very nice parts, should be a great car. Keep us updated!

Gjohnson7 · 12-27-2007, 05:28 PM

Man, I want to see some bigger pictures of the finished product. My eyes aren't that good.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 12-27-2007, 05:32 PM

i miss my sileighties (had 2 of em)

kinda funny that the s13 silvia face looks better on the 180 than it does on the s13 lol

and the 180 face looks better on the coupe than it does on the hatch (i heart my onevia eheheheheh)

nice job man...car is clean...big ups to the junglist possie
