[HaLo]

I just fired up the engine!! Still needs some tweaking though.. the valve cover gasket leaks... and it idles high...

Tomorrow, she's gonna be as good as new. :D

[silviasichigo]

[silviasichigo]

I guess you need a Turbo. Hmmmm well I guess T25 will do I had a T517Z for sale hehe but I put it on the S13 yesterday

[TheSnail]

Halo, are you still using the Nismo flywheel. If so, how do you like it compared to you old one?

[wootwoot]

I like it very much... Did not notice a huge difference with the stock or the Fidanza units.. Weird huh? :)

[Dousan_PG]

HOT! finally! so happy! hehehe

[Andrew Bohan]

i hate you halo! you rebuilt your motor too fast!

[TheSnail]

And you said " its an ol sr" , pssshh...

Damn nice.

[silviasichigo]

That is pretty clean....not too bad, Well at least it is running again. I would put pics of mine up but I don't want to steal the spot light :P

[TheSnail]

Hey Halo, I will be up in canada in 10months. Depending were you live, I would like to meet you in person. I have a big race to attend in sept. so I will be up there for a good 10days.

ps: love the valve cover color

[hurleyboi514]

very nice!! now put a lip on that thing... im running the same aero, minus wings, and then a PDM/Bomex wing on it. i like the oem aero best, looks hot!! i like those wheels too, i was thinking about getting a set of those volks for my race wheels, then running my DT05R's on the street. either way though, congrats!!

Let's answer all your questions in one single post. ;)

cali240sxdrifter:
Yes, i do have the SSAutocrap manifold, but I had the torque damper before. The manifold need a flex pipe AND/OR bracket to be sure is it lasts a little longer.

Dousan:
I am so happy you wouldn't believe it... As a friend told me:
New Engine: a lot of money
Putting the new engine in: a lot of sweat
4 minute test drive: Priceless. ;)

i'm driftaholic:
I have no merit, it's a motorset I bought... it has new front/rear main seals, thermostat, oil pan.

TheSnail:
I'm in Montreal, it's about a 6h drive from New York City. Hook me up once you come in the region.

hurleyboi514:
I need a front lip badly... or something to replace that front bumper. ;) I know. I want one too... But I am tight in my money. :(

[s13silady]

wow.. good job! how long has you car been down now? last time when i left the board (due to buying a corrado) it blew...
glad to see your amongst the driving again.

EDIT: i love the APC color scheme in the engine bay! (orange and blue) jk.. :coold:

[HaLo]

I was down for about 2 months.. feels great to be back... unfortunately, too bad I have to store the car by the end of the month. :(

[AceInHole]

can't wait to race with you again, though. next season won't come soon enough!!

Flex pipe? Thats the elbow piece right? I have a greddy one coming in soon. Where did you get the torque damper? Ebay? Or Project Silvia?

I was doing better in the Civic. :(

Next year, I plan on doing 2 NE-R Events!! Should be a lot of fun.. Too bad I'll have a GRIP + Power disadvantage this time around. ;)

[HaLo]

Project Silvia...

No, i meant on installing a flex pipe on the downpipe, to reduce vibrations that causes cracking.

[cali240sxdrifter]

ahh! gotcha, closer to the front of the downpipe is better right? this is the only info i can recall from flex pipes. Where did you get your flex pipe btw?

[HaLo]

I need to install one, haven't said I had one. :)

[Ian]

why not just get one made that bolts in place of the cat...no cutting involved then
