nice start keep it up

[Imarvin240]

Im assuming you know how to weld, do to the welders mask. Why dont you get rid of the bumper bar and make a bash bar that isn't blocking as much of the intercooler? Either way, great job so far.

[c_mancuyas8]

^ Eventually Ill do tube the entire front. Im actually hoping someone will hit me up with a bash bar for sale lol.

I like where this car is going, mind me asking are you planning to run a standalone for your KAT? How much power are you putting down?
Keep up the good work, very clean and it's a KAT :D.

[Walperstyle]

[c_mancuyas8]

Thanks man! Eventually I will run a standalone but im probably only putting down around 230 or so and thats not necessary to me at this point.

Walperstyle theyre 17x9 +15 but im using spacers

[Walperstyle]

hey how are you providing oil to your turbo, sandwich plate?

[rcdad123]

wow, you got rid of a g35 to finish your s13. that`s dedication. very nice build. keep us posted.

[Danb]

i had those same wheels on an old s14 of mine. If you ever have to replace a valve stem, good luck finding one local that fits lol.

[Edwin562]

looks good.

[c_mancuyas8]

I got the powered by max oil filter relocation kit. It has to ports on it for oil psi gauge oil feed line etc. They make great sh!t

Haha yes I did. How'd you know? The g's chapter had ended lol and the 240 is so much easier to work on.

Nice! Glad its still running strong! You need part let me know I got loads from the extra engine.

[waxball88]

Word, thanks man. I got an engine sitting on the floor in my garage already. I had a parts car at one point so i'm pretty stocked on parts. But good looking out.
Don't happen to have a spare set of headlight lids do you? I'm working on this, but i have a V2 i'm going to attempt.

how is your clutch ? do you like it does it perform well what did you pay for yours

[matts13vert]

how is your clutch ? do you like it does it perform well what did you pay for yours

i can give you an honest review on the XTD stage 3.
Its awesome, grips hard, engages hard but is still ok for DD. Pressure plate is exedy OEM so pedal feels stock. Ive had mine for 2 years driven constantly and took any abuse i threw at it.

I will get pics soon, honestly looks brand new, flywheel and pressure plate wear. Clutch disc pads dont. It will be for sale soon btw :) full broken in xtd stg 3 w/ flywheel i bought brand new. ready to go set up.

[c_mancuyas8]

I paid like 150 for it broke it in 500 miles about 2000 on it now no complaints yet although the clutch pedal is vey soft. Other than that its great
