most of you know I sold my beloved S14 KAT monster and now own an s13 that I have done a lot of work to in a short time. Here are some pics of the interior and so on... http://planb-attack.com/Jay/Intercooler.jpg http://planb-attack.com/Jay/engine.jpg http://planb-attack.com/Jay/Interior.jpg http://planb-attack.com/Jay/Interior2.jpg http://planb-attack.com/Jay/Interior3.jpg http://planb-attack.com/Jay/Interior4.jpg http://planb-attack.com/Jay/jay.jpg http://planb-attack.com/Jay/jayscar.jpg
and a link to a video of drifting in the rain... http://planb-attack.com/Jay/jaydrift.mpg kinda weak but there was traffic around so I didnt wanna get to carried away lol.
I will have it in the body shop soon getting the silvia front end, and bomex front bumper fitted. Going to change the color too. I'll keep ya updated.

So far: S13 SR20DET, Greddy Downpipe, Greddy FMIC, Apex N1 exhaust, pop charger, LSD, 300zxTT brakes, SS brake lines, 6 point custom welded cage, 5 lug conversion, whiteline sway bars and bushings, eibachs, tokico's, S14 leather, short shifter, Volk CV-Pro wheels 17x8 and 17x9, 10psi. I will be going to the track this wednesday to see what it will do. Its really quite fun to drive although considerably slower than the s14 it's a bit more nimble.

Jay,

The car looks pretty sweet! Any side shots with the Volks? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how much did the cage run? What do you think of the autopower bolt in cage?

Thanks, and keep up the good work! You're further along on almost my exact project than I am!!!

I have pics of them on my s13 just not on this computer... I will try and post them tomorrow.
I cant divulge the amount I paid for the cage but let's say if you were to get it done it would cost about $750

The Cv-Pros look sweet! I can't wait to see a side shot on the s13! Those are old school, no longer in production, right? I'm debating between gt-c's or gt-n's when I buy my 17's for rolling around on my hatch. Definitely getting 16" Buddy Club/Kosei's or ce27 volks for the r-compounds though.

I totally understand about the cage. I probably couldn't get that one done from your guy anyway, since I'm in the midwest. I may just go with the Autopower, with the weld-in extension. I want my car STIFF and light as possible.

awesome car man!!! keep up the good work.

hey, how come you s13 guys/girls dont like the burgandy/maroon color? I think it looks really good. I think i goes really nice with the wheels, but hey thats just my $.02

Either way, thats still one bad ass car :D

awe man, now you can't fit all the chicks in the back seat...:p

Sweet lookin FB man. I like the look with those 'grills' under the turn signals removed. Where did you pick up your clear signals at? They look alot smoother then what I've been seeing around.

and revat619...people always dog on the maroon FB because it seems like almost every hatch made was that color (including mine) ...but I still love it.:D

You have built another fantastic car. I like it a lot and I like the dark red better than the fire engine red.

Good luck.

drift_newbie- Yeah, production of the wheels stopped in 1997 making them pretty rare, that's why I'll never sell em!

misnomer- thanks man, it took him like 3 weeks, I was dying! He has one bad arm so he couldn't help it I guess.

revat619- I figure if your gonna repaint and go through all that work, why do it the same color? The color I chose is very unique and people will either love it or hate it.

syco3d- I can still fit two chicks, one in the passenger seat and one... well, I'll let your imagination take over from here. :D
The signals were on the car when I got it, not sure what brand they are.

StanBo- thanks a lot, I appreciate the kind words.

Seems everybody sells their s14 for an s13...

Very nice car PSI...any clue how many people envy you right now? :p

I'm no cage expert, but I'd have gone either straight down through the dash or straight down before the dash, rather than around it to give more strength...ought to ziptie some padding around your and the passangers head if you haven't already too.

Again, great looking car...did i mention you look scary? ;) and good placement on the beer, I always manage to set my beverage right next to where i'm working and knock it over...

What color are you thinking of?

haha you do look kinda scary, i guess its the look on your face.

Nice car though, if I were you I would get a different color red, like on that one Soarer thats always in drifting videos that has the same rims, it is a nice combo. its a bit brighter red, but the red and gold looked nice.

You have done to your car what takes most a year plus in about a month.

WOW, looks really nice!! Too bad I got class wednesday night or I'd come out to see you run or somethng. You must be pretty brave too to be "drifting" in winter park. I have seen soooo many people get pulled over around that corner...including me :D

DSC- The real story is, I had a great time with the S14 but I had it for 2 years and with the way I drive there was no telling how long that motor was gonna last. I put 9000 extremely hard miles on it. The videos on the net of me are how I drove that car all the time, I wasn't just showing off for the camera. My plan was to take the money and start buying cars and selling them for profit as I have a knack for finding great deals. Not to mention I sold it for $13,500 and didn't owe anything on it. The guy who bought the car from me brought along a friend who has a turbo KA as well to check the car out cuz the guy didnt know anything about cars really. After it was sold I mentioned that I was gonna go look at an s13 for a daily driver and the guy he brought said that he belongs to a mailing list and someone on there had an s13 for sale about 3 hours from here. Well once I got it and had all that money burning my pocket I couldnt resist. As for the cage, I told the guy I wasn't going to need a cage that was legal for racing and since I'm a rather large man he decided to try and get it out of my way by bending it around the dash. The hoop in the back is what will save me if I ever flip it anyway. I didnt want to pull the dash out and cut it, way too much work. I get the scary thing a lot, people say I look like satan hahaha. I work out for 2 hours every day at 5:30 am so thats the look I am aiming for haha.
I didnt want to let the cat out of the bag but here's the color I am going with:

Jay,
Excellent S13! It's 240sx owners like yourself that make me proud to be a member of the 240 community. That cage is excellent. Your wheels also look quite nice on that S13. Keep up the great work, man.

Both your old S14 and your S13 have killer style and quality. That color is definately going to look sweet with the silvia front end. Very nice work, man.

great work man.... just what we'd expect after a great KAt, although, your antics in the S14 won't be soon forgotten :p
