New member, not really a newbie

[ka24et]

Hi there,

I just thought I'd introduce myself. I have 2 S13's and one of them is a turbocharged SOHC and the other is 100% dealer serviced stock. I am the original owner of the 1990 and the second owner of the 1991. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I hope zilvia.net is a better, more friendly, and fun forum than some other stuffy forums I've been a member of in the past.

Nah, we really suckass as a forum <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Welcome though, I'm sure you'll get plenty of questions about your turbo SOHC.

hey ka24et! welcome to the forum.

[sykikchimp]

ok .. &nbsp;what kind of wheels are those on the fastback? &nbsp;also, are the tail lights blacked out??

[ka24et]

thx for the welcome and the nice comments.

the fastback has 16x7 SSR EX-C fins. They're semi-old school and as old as the car. back then 17&quot; rims and tires were considered huge and were too $$$. The taillights are candy coated red. It is permanent (not out of a can) and very glossy. The center panel is painted black.

Here's a shot of the before and after shots of some of the SOHC engine parts after polishing. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> http://home.att.net/~parkb/shinyisbetter.jpg

[ka24et]

Thanks for the compliments. About the polishing, I *tried* doing it myself... It was a waste of time. I gave up and took it to a pro and paid him. It was worth every penny. I saved my knuckles, time, breathing aluminum dust (bad), and got a showroom finish. Heres a couple more pics. You can see the VDO megalight LED shiftlight, the 3 autometer guages, and quick release hub for the momo.

Sorry, no engine shots, I don't consider it really finished. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
