SimpleSexy180 · 10-08-2007, 01:04 PM

gosh, makes me want to clean the shit out of my car. nice job.

90KAcoupe · 10-14-2007, 11:10 PM

ok i've got a little update.... after looking at the head a little more i noticed the valves aren't seating right. we are guessing the machine shop put the valve guides in before they did the 3 angle valve job (which would throw the valve seats off a little) i called them, they said to bring it down and they will fix it for free. it just aggravates me that it will hold me back a touch more.

I have a friend with a s14 that we have done basically the same thing as we did to my car to his and he just totaled it

. and i might be working something out with him about trading the lower ends off the 2 ka's. his is a 10.5:1 compression engine. so I'm gonna try to get the lower end out of it for mine. but I'm not sure yet.

J-Style · 10-15-2007, 05:18 AM

That sucks that you have to wait on someone else, but it least it will get done! Good-luck on getting part's from your friend!

*exitspeed* · 10-15-2007, 08:00 AM

Sometimes jealousy is a hard emotion to overcome.

That's awesome so, I hate you.

But not really. Keep the pignose.

IIIXziuR · 10-15-2007, 09:53 AM

Man 16 years old and so sharp, thats sweet.
Is your old man helping you with this set-up?
everything looks cool so far

los_inc · 10-15-2007, 09:58 AM

nanner47 · 10-15-2007, 02:39 PM

just out of curiousity, how did you acquire the funds for such a project at age 16?, worked at mcdonalds and got rich?

90KAcoupe · 10-15-2007, 03:38 PM

yea my dad is helping me with the project. but i pay for everything. It actually not that expensive when u do the stuff urself.

90KAcoupe · 10-17-2007, 09:05 PM

ok i'm finally gonna be able to up date this with pics.
bare with me im a picture whore!!!

the truck (big country) and the coupe

now this is a picture of my cruise control re mount.

it was located in the steering wheel.

tbowzer · 10-17-2007, 11:28 PM

^^very original. I want to do that with my CC. Keep up the nice work! looking good

Farzam · 10-18-2007, 12:38 AM

Pretty awesome.

You're a lot cooler than me.

reccakun08 · 10-18-2007, 01:09 AM

Awesome stuff. I wish i started my project at 16. No college tuition/book bills, rent, food, etc...

90KAcoupe · 10-23-2007, 06:11 PM

the cylinder head is at the machine shop... they are gonna fix it for free. i was gonna be pissed if they didnt. but my cometic head gasket should come in this weekend. not as early as i would have liked cause i wanted to get the engine in the car this weekend. I'm wanting to get it running and broke in my Nov 17th for a gymkhana event. but thats not looking to good right now. But i will make SURE it is done before the Nov 24th drift event!!!!!!

Ronald_Mcdonald · 10-23-2007, 09:11 PM

I can't wait until I can start on my coupe.

But I don't want to even take it off the road until I have all the parts I want, that way I can take my time, and also not have to worry about waiting for certain parts to come in and stuff.

Your car is looking crazy clean, and looks like you also started out with a really clean chassis. Can't wait to see how this thing turns out!

luisgonz · 10-23-2007, 09:16 PM

Great Build, Let me know when your done so I eat off the engine bay.LOL
+1 rep for you

Irukandji · 10-23-2007, 10:10 PM

I really like the progress so far. Yayyy

B Love · 10-24-2007, 10:35 AM

Wow really clean work

90KAcoupe · 10-26-2007, 08:22 PM

well i got the head back and assymbled the valves and springs, and we put the cams in and all my lifter cup shims are way out (due to 3angle valve job) .... so i'm probably gonna have to order a bunch of those. they are $10 a peice and if i end up having to order all 16 thats $160... which effin sucks!!!! its always something......

90KAcoupe · 11-03-2007, 10:47 PM

ok well i had an extra head and i pulled the valves out and got them ground. so i didnt have to buy new shims... the machine shop i used is really cool, so they did it for free. and i ended up a free valve grinding machine, so i could grind the tips off like i needed.

I got all of that finished today. and i assymbled my head, everything is in spec now, the head is finally bolted on the block. and im going to order a 4-2-1 header really soon (like next couple days.)

so do u want pics??? well sorry ur going to have to wait till tomorrow... im to tired to post them up... im sure none of yall really care that much... but i'll post them up after church.

mr_240sx · 11-03-2007, 11:06 PM

wow that build is crazy CLEAN!!!!!

B Love · 11-04-2007, 01:41 AM

Wow this is coming out really clean

CoasTek240 · 11-04-2007, 01:53 AM

ayuaddict · 11-04-2007, 03:06 AM

both you and the car sir.

CylonFrakker · 11-04-2007, 09:19 AM

90KAcoupe · 11-04-2007, 11:47 AM

bardabe · 11-04-2007, 12:16 PM

nice build keep up the good work, I plan to do something similar pretty soon. but with forged internals ready for KA-T =) extremly clean car though

ms!3 · 11-04-2007, 12:44 PM

i cant get over how clean your work area is. nice man.

90KAcoupe · 11-04-2007, 02:34 PM

well the head has to come back off!!! and im FREAKIN PISSED!!!!!! im trying to get my car ready for a drift event coming up....

but the company i ordered my cometic head gasket from sent me the wrong one... i ordered a .045" head gasket. and they sent me a .051" head gasket.. which will lower compression. so im trying to get a hold of the company.. and get this crap straitened out...

cronux · 11-04-2007, 02:43 PM

dude, everything looks clean as hell, and this thread is kind of my inspiration to do something similiar on my new coupe. but that head gasket bullshits gotta blow. damn, it seems like a whole bunch of companies are against your clean ass coupe build.

qwikspool · 11-04-2007, 03:01 PM

clean as a whistle. nice build. cant wait to see it when its all finish.
