Thanks for the complements!
I am a member of AZ240sx and have been for about 4 years, I have the same user name and run the Turn Style Drift events ;) you should come out to our next event and check the car out in person...maybe I'll give you a ride along lol
The KA has been sold :(
The greddy pulleys, as well as the CAS cover was anodized pink by a local company :)
The intake manifold was chromed by a local chromer, as well as the intercooler piping and everything else shiny you see :)
The Bride material was bought from Bride when the Zeta seat was purchased. A local upholstery shop redid the panels and will be redoing the rear seat with partial gradient, partial black suede.

Kouki Chick
04-08-2008, 01:15 AM
I would get more ricer fly bys and rev's than anything. Annnnd of course the stereotypical dude in the scion xb.."WOW...is that yourrrr car? It's really a manual??? Wow you know how to drive a manuuuual?" Uhh yeah dude I'm driving right beside you.
Or at the parts store..."Omg I own that srt-4 out there (points to parking lot)...(I chuckle and make typical neon joke) yo it has a Mitsubishi motor in it though....were going to the illegals tonight..you should come and race me" At the time i was like...dude I have a stock KA and your car is stilllll a neon...pfft.
Greddy pulleys came blue. I had them custom anodized pink as well as clear coated to prevent the pink from fading hopefully
I'm almost scared the attention this thing will catch when it's done..note to self and thiefs..adding electro shock alarm..do not touch my shit or my car will kill you and I will point and laugh!
But yeah..car will run this week...as long as this stupid lower harness works out the way it's supposed to..its basically done besides that.
Hurray to starting and running my car with open turbo elbow..no down pipe, test pipe, or exhaust in yet.. Yes there will be footage :)
HasteBryant
04-08-2008, 02:31 AM
... Yes there will be footage :)

04-08-2008, 02:45 AM
HEY! I had an SRT-4! Lol Never did that I always respected all other drivers, Yes it was a neon but it was quick but others were usually quicker lol. Nice car you got there! Thats my goal with my car!

04-08-2008, 02:52 AM

I just like to make sure people know what they're doing when I see "GTsuperbig7381" in their future mods list with no other mods to support it...
Kouki Chick
04-08-2008, 10:08 AM
Ha koopa..hows J land? Honestly my true plan is to blow the motor up so I can then rebuild it. On this stage on my build I have spent an upwards of 12k++++++ all paid cash by saving, trading parts, selling parts etc. The reason the motor isn't built is because I didn't have the cash..and I wanted to drive the damn car...seeing it sit there irritated me. Yeah I like my turbos big and no lag..so meh we will see. Depends on how much money I can save up and how quickly I blow this motor!
I have gotten tons of PM's about parts..Unfortunately all the parts I have for the car are for the car and not for sale. What parts I have ordered, have been ordered through sponsors and they will be more than happy to help you guys out! If you need specific contact information PM me. :)

Not bad, military is making life here so retarded I'm actually looking for an excuse to go to Iraq again. It's fucking pothetic when you have more liberties and freedom's on a combat outpost in BFE the you do on Okinawa.. :smash:
Word though, I'm looking for a reason to kill my car.. I really want an NSX for some reason.. Aragosta suspension, a cage, a diff, exhaust, ITB's and call it a day.

great execution!!!!!!
and not to hate on all women that are into cars, but dudes, careful what you wish for..
a GF thats into cars just means you have to work on her car and buy the parts ON TOP of the regular stuff that good bf's are supposed to get their girlfriends!
if you ask me, that sounds like a lame deal.
kouki chick is on another level though
Vernal
04-08-2008, 02:04 PM
WOW! You own
Kouki Chick
04-08-2008, 02:04 PM
I'm not the normal materialistic GF. I buy my own parts instead of buying clothes, LV purses, and lame girl stuff that most girls usually buy. I spend all of my money on this car..and all I ever ask for holidays/bdays is car parts.
I do the work on my own car; each day I look forward to what I have next to do on my car. The motor was torn down outside and and reassembled by me. I learned the hard way on some things..like I am the queen of over torquing bolts and snapping them off. I've had to redo a lot of things I did because I had no idea what I was doing, little to no help from outsiders, and learned by my own trial and error.
I did have some help with actually putting the motor in as well as changing my diff out..and some other little things that took more than one person..or more strength than I had...big thanks to Densetsu for that!
I've always from day 1 worked on my own car and have learned a lot. I change my own tires at events...sometimes even help others. I enjoy not being the girl whos boyfriend does all the work while she sits back and is lazy and has no knowledge.
But yeah thats me..
Weeee...off to go work on the car...
Task for today is..my 3rd and final intercooler pipe should be done being chromed today so install and tighten t bolt clamps all around, need to syphon my old gas out, fill up the radiator with H20, put oil in the motor, and figure out the deal with my gay lower harness..

The car will be a semi daily driver, and of course used for drifting, auto x, and grip driving. I'm sure I will also put it in some shows to support and fulfill my sponsor agreements.
The wheels in the pics are different because..
1. In the photo shoot I was running AME Circlar Spec R's
2. As of right now..the car is sitting on stock wheels until my new AME"s will be in from Japan this week or next..then the baller wheels go on :)
Dan..your car runs...lol?! I haven't seen it for ages! Last time we talked you were running into a ton of issues or something. Let me drive your car! :)

Vibrant is an amazing company to work with! They have been a huge help and very supportive of the whole build. Not to mention they offer a lot of fabrication products that allow you the ability to fabricate some sweet stuff.
Yeah..I knew nothing about mines performance until recently, didn't even know they existed. I stick to the shops I personally know and trust like Intense and Densetsu...who I know won't screw me over on prices and parts...and have been more of family than business acquaintances.

The vinyl is for sponsors..its a requirement when they help you out and its nice to be able to support people that support you.
For now I will run a clutch fan. In AZ it gets to about 117 in the summer..some motors can keep cool with a clutch fan and some need electric pusher and puller fans...depends on the condition of the motor. There is a custom fabbed fan shroud being made so I will try that route first. If I have cooling issues then I will add a pusher fan..and if I continue to have issues I will do a fully electric set up. The anodizing of pulleys was a gift from my sponsor..and it rocks!
The AME Wheels in the beginning photos have been replaced. Though I loved those wheels, I wanted a lower offset front and rear. I buy wheels like most girls buy shoes..
My oil relocation kit came in..so off to install that, my hood, and start putting the body parts back on! It might be started today????

1) It surprised me... like a couple others, I assumed it was a guy's car, and was going to say how cute it was that his good lookin Gf was helping... then I looked @ the username... then I felt dumb.
2) Actual good parts/good fabrication. No BS builds here, kids.
3) Zilvia Heavyweights weighing in - everyone knows Jack apparently, even in other states. Steve has a custom RSS feed set up so he knows whenever the words 'engine management' come up on zilvia. Koopa actually has a nice turbo setup and likes to bomb on the hopes and dreams of kids who don't. Good stuff.
Excellent car, can't wait to see the wheels/engine management/final look - not to mention track pics :)

Yeah I forgot to drill out the battery tray..meh. I have a custom fabbed battery box being made which will actually make the battery sit in the tray so I guess its somewhat in use still.
Hood came in from seibon! Yay! Big thanks to the guys Seibon Carbon for hooking me up! This hood is beautiful..it is the new "silver streak". The wierd thing is in each pic I took the weaving looks totally different..but beautiful. Hood is a little aggressive for me..but I think once the kit and wheels are on..it will look hot!

Then why is the clutch for the fan attached and chromed? Dont know what Im talking about... Hmm I think Ive built and installed more motors than most of the people on this forum. The clutch fan is such a drag on the motor. Just go ahead and run a couple puller FALs and be done with it. They have models that flow over 3000 cfm that should be plenty. Not saying the clutch fan doesnt work because it does but the power loss and free rev you loose isnt worth it.

It will def help with cooling since all the engine heat will be blown out or rise out when sitting still. Never been a big fan of vented hoods unless they have black inserts.

I've had people out here with the same exact motor set up that have either both ran fans or both ran clutch fans and 1 will have cooling issues and 1 wont...it's really random. I will more than likely go electric just don't want to deal with it at the moment. The clutch isn't chromed nor powder coated due to the fins and the balancing issues I would have if I did either of those. It just has a very light coat of paint that matches the silver powder coating.
Car get me laid..hmmmmmm..does that work for girls like it does guys?
I am going to leave the inserts in the hood for now because they match the mesh on my cwest grill..see how it looks once its all on and then decide. I am going to try to get the fenders and headlights and stuff of today so I can get an idea of how the hood really looks.
Koopa I think 4+ years on the local forum with you has accustomed me to your sarcasm lol which is why I laugh at it...plus being used to getting shit talking from guys constantly has taught me to ignore lude comments. It's the internetz and I know how much you really just miss AZ and especially Tucson!

awesome build on the kouki, the vertex headlight and corners is a nice addition to the front end.
khilgers
04-19-2008, 06:47 AM
Awesome build so far, not really diggin the mesh for the grill though. But you are doing a great job. It's nice to see someone taking their time rather than just throwing something together.
BTW, what's the big deal about vertex lights? They look like regular reflector lights instead of the projectors that came on the car. Pardon my ignorance, I was just wondering.
Bushido
04-19-2008, 01:34 PM
the reflectors in the vertex headlight were supposedly designed for HID..
car looks awesome, but i agree that grill looks awkward, either paint it black or ditch it i say.
Kouki Chick
04-19-2008, 03:22 PM
Yeah I am really unsure about what to do with the grill. Once I can get the car to hold idle and quit stumbling like a drunk school girl, I'm gonna work on the final aesthetics...lol.
I've changed plugs twice, tps, ignitor, timing, maf, checked coil packs, blah so much crap. All vacumn lines and couplers have been checked like 10 times...I'm almost at a loss here. Gonna attempt to change the o2 sensor and continue on the battle..

have you tried a setup w/ a recirqulated bov? unless you eliminate the maf (i.e. standalone fuel managment) you really should do that. my swap ran like that till i recirqued the maf so just give it a try. good luck.

The problem has basically been fixed! YAY! Changed out just about everything..I think the issue was the CAS..replaced it and realigned it. Still have to set fuel pressure and put in the uego.
Stupid hood dampners wont compresss ahhhhhh..no I am not trying to shit myself..

The wheels are AME Shallen CX 18x9+12 and 18x10+15
Tires are 225/40/18 and 245/40/18. The thing with the tires is that I had found Cooper's run very thick which I was unaware of. I used to run the same size on Falken Tires and they were a good stretch. So it really is just a difference in manufacturers.
The radio antenna I got from Logan at A Spec :)
The car is still running rough..gonna try to diagnose it again this weekend and hopefully get it back on the road by next week
