TrustS13 S13 Coupe Build Thread

[TrustS13]

So, I had a very clean 1991 white SR hatch for about 2 years until it met it's demise. I wrecked it :thumbup

old car:

and then I did this

Bashed up the qtr panel pretty bad. Blew out the PS rack, ruined the whole driver side of the car basically.

Started to tear it apart and part it out

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs059.snc6/168929_1620831526078_1395120096_31614385_7452828_n .jpg

THE GOAL:

Buy a new shell
Put in suspension, engine swap, and interior out of old hatch

TIMELINE:

I've worked on this for a whopping 2 weekends total basically. I'm building a new car from the ground up. The fun part is all the little modifications to the chassis that need to be made to drive around as low as I plan too. Cutting up the wheel wells, tucking the harness, etc. I will be done with this car this weekend, so a 3 week build essentially. These cars are not hard!

SOLD:
5 lug, Z Brakes, and old 5 lug wheels, Kouki tails

PURCHASED:
- Red/White DMAX Tail lights
- 17x9.5 +12 Rota Grids
- 88 Rotors Drilled and slotted rotors all around + new front and rear pads

FUN STUFF:

Powdercoated the wheels and intercooler piping super gloss white. My friend Denny Young is a local powdercoater in Summerfield (outside of Greensboro) and has awesome prices and a super quick turn around time. Check him out at DJ Powder Coating (http://djpowdercoating.com)

PROGRESS:

Got the shell from Kelly. It's been converted back to 4 lug, I bought it as is (it came as roller and then Kelly removed the wheels and suspension at my house).

Didn't take any pics of putting the engine in the car. But here's how it is now. Engines in, intercooler pipings all hooked up, harness is all hooked up, harnesses are tucked. Test fit pics. This is static height in the air.

Will update as I finish it up. All I really have left to do is install the new diff, driveshaft, fill it up with fresh coolant and gear oil and put the fenders and tein tie rods on and it should be all done. Enjoy.

[CrOW]

Cool stuff, in for more.

[Pure_JDM]

Nice man... it was a shame to see your white hatch messed up. (I'm a friend of Curtis and Richard.) I'll stay tuned to see what else you have in store. Me and Richard will have our hands full with my coupe here shortly.

[Lukasss]

I am surprisingly a fan of the white IC piping.

Looking good dude.

[sr'ed90coupe]

damn i like it my coupe is the same color looked like that but on ses when i got it

[Ratpack_Chad]

What size tire are you running?

[TrustS13]

Been getting this question a lot.

I went with a 235/40/17 vs a 225/45/17. I'm super glad I made this decision too, the 45 profile is just too tall for being this low up front and it looks a ton better. They are stretched, but not too much. They didn't have to use a cheetah to mount them, Also a 235/40 is actually a smaller diameter than 225/45

[TrustS13]

2/2/11 This morning before work I put on the fenders and put a front wheel on. Going to need to hammer the fender wells more for wheel clearance

[S-Nation S13]

[s14pit]

The white and grey look great together.

[TrustS13]

Thanks for all the positive feedback, I love the color combo too. Thinking of getting blue open ended lugnuts, not sure if it would be too "ricer"?

D-Max tails are at the house, when I get home I'm installing them! Pics to come

[Michael Nolan]

wow looks amazing

[97_kouki]

Car needs to be washed bad.. Hopefully I will get a chance too Saturday if it's warm enough. Curious to see how this color looks, the car was re-painted 2000 Maxima Charcoal Gray about 4 months ago. It needs to be wetsanded and buffed though, but it looks pretty decent overall!

[kraven9]

The comeback looks good. Keep it up man.

[lovdrifting52]

white n grey has always looked sicks ... clean build

[4DOOR_LIFE]

cool car man, I like your style. that Charcoal color is awesome. I'm still trying to find that color 240 for my older sister.

[29psiHybrid]

Nice!


Man I miss my coupe :(

[Propaganda]

<3 the color, brah! it really does the car some good

[TrustS13]

Been done for a few days. Driven it around about 150 miles so far.

[h2v7]

dare i say lose the stock wing?

[Nick_04K]

This is a great looking car! Maybe throw on the front bumper? And dare i say raise it up an inch and remove some camber? :hide:

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i like your car. just to nit pick, raise the rear .5" and bump out the rear with a 7mm spacer. otherwise, i would love to have a car like yours. thumbs up.

[picsbypenny]

sick ride!

[chaotix]

Veryy nice build man getttin me jealous here

[SaNTi]

Veryy nice build man, and just wondering and sorry for the nub question what kind of rims are those n the specs on them appreciate it

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs752.ash1/164318_1625233956136_1395120096_31620553_5089483_n .jpg

Rota Grids, 17x9.5 +12. Dope build man.

[chaotix]

Yeah i saw that picture scrolling up felt pretty stupid ahaha

[TrustS13]

Need to upadate this! So In all the pics the rear was at -5* toe wack. Installed ISIS Rucas, Megan traction arms, and Godspeed Gen 2 toe arms and took it to the rack again. Got the rear camber out to -3.4" and set the toe to 0. I'm really happy with this. I used a credit card to measure the fitment. Removing all that camber raised it about a inch and I think it looks MUCH better! I'll get some good pics soon, but in the mean time.. I did some sliding the other day,

BIG pics:

[Edwin562]

wow awsome build.. keep up the good work

[Kemps]

lookin good, nice work!

[TrustS13]

Wanted to update the thread but I've been busy driving/drifting the shit outta the car! Installed all new aftermarket rear parts, got it re-aligned. Went from -5* to -3.4* rear camber and 0 toe. Front has about 3* camber. It drives awesome. Also ran into my friend who had my old exhaust I made a while back. We just traded axle back sections (he wanted my can) so put my new exhaust on. Cars a little louder, still sounds awesome. It's big HARRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I like that it clears the rear bumper, and clears a kit if I ever get one.

Frankie had the car repainted, and it was decent, but had a lot of orange peel. It was never wetsanded or buffed, or detailed afterwords. It did also have some low clear spots on the passenger door and down under the body line on the doors. I wetsanded, trizac'd, and buffed the whole car. Takes foreverrrrrrr but the results are awesome. Wish that the car had bodywork done, has a lot of random little dings/wavy body but oh well, it still looks decent. Color pops like crazy in the sun. It was pretty orange peeled before, its nice and slick now, amazing how a wet-sand and buff can change a whole car.

[TrustS13]

Thanks! it's actually my friends family's house, not ours lol. (the guy with the miata)

[om3ga]

Glad you chose the proper tire size, 45 series is disgusting on anything larger than a 16"

thats all for now, I'm entered in the next SWDrift event April 23rd. Picked up some spare wheels for the event, and no i'm not raising my car.

[TrustS13]

Also.. funny vid haha

[oOI WEST IOo]

:rofl::rofl: nice

[andisan]

i might steal your paint color, but ill have my good buddy add something to it to make it a little darker or something.

Car is clean, good work

[CamryOnBronze]

haha, that's pretty funny dude. Looking good!

[STL240SXDRIFT]

Looks good man. Love the white wheels

[HPKMotorsports3]

Sweet Coupe Bro... I love the color scheme

[dreamin240sx]

haha love the vid man lol baller fo life

[iLOVEASIANGIRLSS]

god your car is amazing.. what coils are you on btw?

[koukisandsomeapplejuice]

wow just wow, those are the nicest rota's ive seen

[WanganNastyMachine]

Your car is cleeeeaaaan! Hope to see more pics soon, lovin' it!

[hypercrush]

pretty rad, keep it low and sideways

[TrustS13]

Wow, thanks for the compliments guys! The car is on D2 coilovers, the front collars are removed, rears have about 1 inch left to go.

If anyone missed the specs, the wheels are 17x9.15 +12 no spacers on the car, tire size is 235/40/17 (some cheap Nankangs I got for 210 NEW off tires-easy.com )

I bought 5 (random I know right) wheels for $100 off some local guy, I got 3 of the 180sx meshies (painting white) and 2 steelies. The drift event in is in 2 weeks! I hope to have the lowest turbo 4 cyl car out there (lots of guys have raised there cars and gone v8 this season) I'm planning on getting 2 4 lug bolt on 25mm spacers so the 15" 180sx wheels are at least somewhat-flush hah

Today I am swapping back to a stock manifold (for spoolup) and replacing all the turbo related gaskets, trying to eliminate a turbo leak the car had! This should do the trick though. Also my LCA are smashed on this car, going to install my LCA off my white hatch that are in a little bit better shape and the new tension rods. I'll be sure to take pics now that I have my camera again.. also here are some pics I took the other day

Danny I KNOW you will have the lowest turbo 4cyl. car out there. Lmao
Car is looking great man! Saw it at WFC.
I really hope a spot opens up for the Apr. 23 event so I can get out there!

[TrustS13]

Thanks man :)

Funniest part of the meet lol

[BJManies]

^^^That shit was such a trip man hahaha

[TrustS13]

Spend the weekend swapping out the turbo manifold to a stock one (for spool up) and replaced ALL turbo related gasket
- S15 7 layer OEM Manifold to Head gasket
- OEM Nissan turbo gasket
- OEM Nissan elbow gasket
- OEM Nissan inlet/outlet gaskets
- All new turbo locking tabs
- New 3" Downpipe gasket

Needless to say, the car is a new beast! It spools up much quicker and sounds awesome. Need to get a video of and turn the boost up to 14psi. It's on about 9-10psi right now. Here's how the weekend went..

http://i53.tinypic.com/15owldx.jpg
Had to take the wheels off to get them rebalanced.. No more shaking now!
Also used this as an opportunity to install the new GodSpeed Gen 2 Tension rods, they are really beefy and feel great on the car.

Where did you buy those Rotas from? And what type of rotors are those?

Also, 2 thumbs up man, perfect build, aesthetically and performance wise.

[TrustS13]

Hey man, I got the Rotas from Urban Import. The guy who works there (Jerry) hooks us local guys who pay cash and pickup. They weren't white, I had them powdercoated from my local friend Denny at DJ Powdercoating DJ Powder Coating (http://www.djpowdercoating.com)

The rotors are 88Rotors I got a set on them off ebay.

[qwerth]

big ups to you my man

[kevmeistah21]

what downpipe do you have? i need one sitting above the framerail cause my shit sits like an inch below the frame rail.. Obviously your lower then me and getting places, tell me your secret!

[iROCKchucks]

Dig your build, I'm just waiting for your typical s13 track drifter stereotype to kick in and throw a ridiculous aero and bright pink wheels....oh and dildo shift knob...that lights up

Mint interior love it, how many people were gathered around your car when it was stuck? From the vid it looked like a maybe 10, but from another picture it like over 30. Wow.

[CamryOnBronze]

Replacing turbo/manifold gaskets is NOT my idea of a good weekend, lol. I give you credit! Looking good as always...

[Backintoans13]

Just got done reading through your build, car looks great man!! So nice and clean, love the color scheme :cool:

[TrustS13]

Thanks!

Next in line - boost leak test and new NGK BKR6E plugs. I'll be competing in the Streetwise Drift AM series next weekend, I'll be sure to have lots of vids and pics :)

Good luck with the comp man. Cant wait to see pics.

[CamryOnBronze]

Nice work- the car sounds great!

[d-man478]

Love this build! I'm getting ready to build an S chassis and this is pretty much what I was wanting to do. I'm definitely gonna be keeping up with this.

[wacko2]

Hey on that video of your car being stuck,

what is that?

I remember Batman's tumbler made that sound on turns in Batman Begins

Are you talking about the slight chirping sound? That's coming from the tires from the welded diff.

[TrustS13]

Sorry guys - many updates have come to the car, I just haven't had much time lately. I will post a full update soon.

[TrustS13]

Well guys,

here are some updates I've made to my car lately.

- HKS Tubular Manifold bottom mount
- Tial 38MM MVS wastegate
- S15 turbo (bought new from nissanparts.cc)
- Had an injector die on me, bought a new fuel rail and injectors
- Bought Bridge ERGOS seats
- Blew out a front tire from running too much camber. Bought some 215/40/17s (dropped down from 235/40/17)
- Got a whole new gauge setup (Thanks Broadfield!) and a AEM wideband

I'll get some pics up soon :)

[Idahos13]

Last pic of the car before I swapped out the new tires. About to pull out a bunch of camber (while still being hella flush y0) and it should drive a lot better. Also upgraded to peak performance inner and outer tie rods.

[wacko2]

wat tires size did u go with ur coupe, how much camber did u go to the front an the rear

[94spitfire91]

That was one quick build..
The gray paint on that coupe looks really good with the white
Nice job

[TrustS13]

Thanks guys. I went with a 235/40/17 originally, and it fit fine, but forced me to run about -3.5* camber all around. I switched to a 215/40/17 and have to take it back on the rack to get it re-aligned soon to see where it's at. I'd get -2* front and hopefully -2* rear now.

[Idahos13]

Why would you want to get rid of this? It is sooo clean!

Wow, never got why people do that. You just get bored or what?

[TrustS13]

I got offered 8k cash for the car... it's a S13.. I could build another one.. but I think I may be getting out of s-chassis cars, I'm not sure. I'd really like to do a sil-front RB25 car. we will see.

[Darren]

I like how this thread went from start to finish for the car, that's quite a neat concept...

Nice job on the car, looks really good, i'm sure the new owner will enjoy it!

[taran!]

Damn sad to see it go, such a nice clean coupe! But im sure what you'll do next will be just as clean and dank!
But did you ever happen to find out how much camber you had when you switched tires and got it re-aligned?

[gerson408]

Wow, never got why people do that. You just get bored or what?


yeah i dont understand it either i mean i know its an s chassis but still if you put your blood sweat into it just keep it until its gone.

Thanks guys. I did - I ended up dropped to a 215/40/17 all around on a 9.5 +12. You can easily run -1.5* front camber and it will fit. I ran -2.5. I dropped my rear to -1.7* camber. It was literally aligned with a credit card and had some poke though. I loved how it looked and the car drove a lot better than with all the camber.

Took this pic the same day I got it aligned

Thanks bro that helps a lot because I'm going to be running 17x9.5 +15, but I didn't want to run as much camber as you were running before you switched tires. Thanks again, and I loved your coupe! Good luck with what's next! :)

Kid was in the airforce, came from Charleston, SC with cash. I couldn't say no. 8k is a lot for a SR 240!

Wow.
So now what? You know you will be back in a s chassis again but days of finding clean ass chassis are about over with.

[irritatedmax]

Was a good car/build. Props dude. The simplicity is what made it work. Even the ugly stock S13 wing looked cool.

On to bigger and better things...just not anything with a RB25. JK. JK.

[TrustS13]

Soooooo... I have my eye on a RB swapped coupe.. we will see how it goes. Going to check it out tonight.

Cant believe you sold this. This car was my inspiration.

good luck with your next build

Always liked this coupe! Hopefully the next guy will take good care of it

Well... the car is here on Joint Base Charleston in SC and my buddy owns it... Ill let you know if anything happens with it. haha. Really clean car man, you did a spectacular job with it and it sounds amazing.

[silver04rsx]

WTF Danny, this is briggs BTW. I cant believe you sold the car, though 8K is a lot for any s-chassis. I thought you were joking on CN. Kinda made me feel sad when I read that post. Whatever you get next I know the same simple/ clean-ness will go into that car. looking forward to updates.... Update your shit on CN bro.....

[Wake]

still amuses me how a bone stock coupe can be someones "inspiration"

Too bad you sold it. But now you have an excuse to get real wheels and start fresh.

[xpinoyxmk]

To update you on the car, kid who bought it can actually drive it now lmao.

Adjusted the clutch point that better suited him for his height. We were gonna raise the rear like an inch because the roads here suck balls and its eating the tire but it seems like the threads on the coilovers seized up. Check it out another day. Also dont understand why lower body of the coilover is in 2 pieces, stupid in my opinion.

Overall, pretty damn nice car in person, couple paint chips here and there but have to be like a couple feet away to see them. Went to an event last weekend and people were all around the car.

Only plans for the car atm are hallman mbc, 550 inj, and nistune.

[CamryOnBronze]

Can't argue with getting $8k for a car like this, man. Good luck with whatever you do next!

[justinedible4]

Smart choices.. I wish him the best of luck with the car. It's a solid car.. yeah has a few paint chips here and there but overall in pretty good shape for what it is. Loved the color. Should be starting a new project here soon.. :)

[TrustS13]

I never had an issue with the coils.. I would soak them in PB blaster over night. I've also heard of some people putting them in the freezer.. Not sure. Also - I just aligned the car so if you guys raise/lower it you need to re-align it. You also have to learn how to drive a slammed car too, but that will come with time. I told him via text I would just do a news paper pull on that driverside fender. Just jack up that side, stuff newspaper in between the fender and tire and lower it slowly. It should pull it enough to where it won't rub anymore. It was barely rubbing when he got it, I cambered it out too much on the alignment rack.

[axiomatik]

Saw this car at the CN BBQ. Looked good. Now, lets see a new project begin.

Gonna probably disassemble the coils and clean them.

Told him to do a newspaper pull but he wants to raise it so he can get in through the back gate. Bottoms out on the rail going over the speedbumps. Only gone once and it was horrible lol.

Hes still learning how to drive around so it will take a month or 2 to learn the roads and railroad tracks around here.

[TrustS13]

:( the stance is what made that car so awesome. i guess if you can't get in through to work/your job its understandable. Our roads weren't too terrible in NC where I live so I just dealt with it. Yeah hopefully he is doing better driving it!

[Z_Spool]

...but he wants to raise it so he can get in through the back gate...

That sounds like he's just doing it to make life 'easier.' Tell him to grow a pair and use another route if he can't figure out how to go through the back gate.

[xpinoyxmk]

Women.:picardfp:

Enters through the front gate now. No figuring out how to get in through the back gate unless he wants to damage the frame.

Its not like were gonna raise it super high. Probably an inch at most so he stops rubbing from the shitty roads.

:( the stance is what made that car so awesome. i guess if you can't get in through to work/your job its understandable. Our roads weren't too terrible in NC where I live so I just dealt with it. Yeah hopefully he is doing better driving it!

Theres no dealing with the roads here in SC. Have potholes that you cant see the bottom of, missing chunks of the road, deep ass dips, etc. Never seen such bad roads in my life. Guess FL has it good lol


Start the new project now!

[DNNYBOY240]

nice build man beautiful coupe!

[TrustS13]

Well not really an update, but here's whats up for this Fall:

- Found a 91 Gray hatch shell for cheap
- Gut it, maybe track car build?
- Bought a S14 SR20
- Fenders Tubed
- 18x9.5 +15 P45rs scooped up for cheap already
- Bought a new steering wheel, hub + qr
- 5 lug
- Kouki aero (? MAYBE ?)

[TrustS13]

Here's the shell it looks like I'm picking up. 91 SE with 150k on it, no motor/trans. I just bought a S14 SR20DET today, the FMIC, downpipe, and a few other things.

Seems like I can't get away from Brotas :picardfp:
Got a deal too good to pass up on.. 18x9.5 +15 they will do for now. I'm excited for 18's on a S13. Any opinions on powdercoat color? My room mate powdercoats (did all my old stuff) and I can do any color, or leave them hyper black.

Excited to see how my motor looks when it gets here. Should be here next week. Plans are pretty standard.. FMIC/3" turbo back. Debating on gutting this car or what. Kit ideas? I'll probably scoop up a set of Kouki tails as well.

[Wake]

hope your "good deal" was free.

[4DOOR_LIFE]

Man i loved the simplicity of your coupe man.

you should flip those rota's and get some legit wheels since you got them for cheap.

anyways i'm definitely looking forward to the next build.

[TrustS13]

Haha, they weren't free but they were a great deal. I'd love to get some nice legit wheels, not really sure what I'd be interested this go around.. I'll keep my eyes peeled in the FS section since I have some extra $$ now :) I did see those hot pink 57d's but I don't think i could ever drive a car with hot pink wheels lol.

[silver04rsx]

Yes on Kouki aero Danny. Glad to see you got another s13. I say strip this one like you did the white hatch.

If your not running ac, I say go with the PBM mid mount intercooler.

Cant wait to get the vert finished and go drifting with you.

You plan on tubing the front wheel wells? Will you be able to pass tech at SWD with the tubes? Dont they go by the Formula D rule book?

Tubs are cool in any drifting series that I've ever seen. Usually, anything in front of the strut tower & front cross member can be modified infinitely - excluding the tension rod pickup point. It's not all that uncommon to see FD cars with no front fender well at all.

[CamryOnBronze]

You should totally build a TYPE X man! That would be awesome. And so would 57Ds!

[Edwin562]

^^ i must agree

[BJManies]

This. Get the wheels you saw also Danny, you could pull them off with the grey on Craigs shell.

[Josh7X]

Looks sick man. Nice Miata by the way. I just sold mine yesterday.

[Wake]

Do what camry on bronze said.

Do you just build cars and sell them?
Why not build one and keep it for yourself?

[TrustS13]

Not at all, my white hatch I built from the ground up and wrecked it.. Check page 1 of my thread. The gray car I built very quickly and did drive it and have a lot of fun with it. I really had no intentions of selling it, but when you are offered a great value for it, I couldn't say no. I knew I could build a new car and not cut as many corners with the extra $ :)

I don't have a build thread for my white hatch, but it was pretty well put together, nearly everything off of it went into the gray coupe.

[Wake]

Right on dude.

Sorry if I seem presumptuous but I cant know everyone on the internets car history. Im getting old and weed is legal in cali, I dont have a lot of memory space left lol.

I actually read your thread from the beginning just forgot about the hatch.

[ichihachizero]

Well I read this build from start to fin nice car good price.. What haPpened to doing a rb?? But yeah good luck on the build

[TrustS13]

RB car I was looking at just wasn't the right one for me..
this is how I gutted my hatch, how I will probably do it again, but maybe leave the side panels on.

[Ben10]

Cant wait to see what you can do with this one. S14 sr FTW! Did you repaint the trunk in the white hatch? Looks too good.

btw. if you do those harnesses again you should really wrap them around the bar instead of bolted to the floor. Spine compression :bite:

[NoPistons!]

This. Get the wheels you saw also Danny, you could pull them off with the grey on Craigs shell.

Or paint them.


This is "Pizz" btw.....

From what i heard, you can pass tech with tubs, tube and whatnot up front. I spoke to someone last weekend and swd doesn't care if you stitch/mod your subframe and shit or not. Unless you are trying to go pro-am/FD or have a drop top you can pretty much do whatever you want. If you have a cage, you have to go by the rulebook building it. Bolt-in? I dunno if they have special treatment for that or not. I've heard mixed things but nothing ever from Doug about all the rumors going on. I'm not naming names but some people get away with shit while others dont. When in doubt, ask Doug.

[TrustS13]

UPDATE: Got a new shell, my motor.. lots of stuff. Continue this thread or start a new one?

[Crondy]

Doesnt matter, MOAr

[TrustS13]

Well...my old coupes for sale for 10k.. without the wheels!!

1991 240sx sr20det swap (http://charleston.craigslist.org/cto/2604000663.html)

[wonpoo]

Hahaahhah zing!

[brunswick240]

omg. do i want an s13 again? good job man, fresh as FUCCC.

[Ben10]

Sucks it went to someone who is just trying to flip it. And 10k?? Wtf?

Still think never should have sold it. Owning something your proud of and built - priceless

We need new pics!

[hksallday]

update on your old coupe, installed a ralco short shifter, hallman boost controller currently on 14 lbs of boost, got the grids back, and put an hks hi power exhaust on yesterday, plan on either doing a 5 lug swap next or buying a new ecu so i can get it tuned, still running strong, fixed alot of the rattling and i got the coilover to break loose today and i raised it enough so it wont rub, shits still hellaflush though, tires getting re-aligned tomorrow

[Bumpkin203]

Love the coupe build, cant wait to see how the next car will look, when i get back from deployment i plan on doin some SWD events in my 89 coupe. Havnt decided weather or not to go sr or turbo my s14 ka. But i have plenty of time to think about it lol

Looking forward to seeing your next car. Good luck bro.

Cool, you should start a build thread or keep updating this one. Why did you sell the grids and have the car for sale for 10,000? What did you end up doing with that exhaust? What was rattling? And you didn't need to raise the car, just turn the rear upper control arm to add more camber it would have fixed it. I still miss this car but am having fun putting together my new car.

[hksallday]

traded the grids to my buddy but we traded back like 2 weeks later cause i missed them ha, but i just have the old exhaust sitting around now, considering selling it but idk yet, the front right fender/hood/trunk rattled real bad but i fixed the trunk and fender but the hood still rattles pretty bad, had to fix a huge hole in the downpipe yesterday but that didn't take to long, i cant break the front two coilovers loose for the life of me, im just trying to raise it like an inch so i dont scrape as bad EVERYWHERE ha but other than that cars doing good, everywhere i go people are asking questions, i plan on saving to buy the apexi power fc so i can get a tune in the near future, hope all is well with your new project

[S-Nation S13]

This is great one man sells , the other buys and post updates on original owners build thread..so much win .. Hehe its like carfax

[hksallday]

sold the car a while back, now driving a turboed s2000 with a lot more power haha

[Pinggg]

So your point is?
You updated a few month old thread just to tell us that?!

[TrustS13]

Cool story bro. I am making a new thread regarding my S13 hatch I have completed. Look forward to seeing you guys in that thread.
