Hi everyone, I figured I'd share the build of my S13 since I haven't really done that in detail even tho I'd like to.

It all started in 2014 around the time of Final Bout 1 that I came into possession of this coupe.

It was a car the guys at Gold Star had gotten for from someone that had to get rid of it since their neighbor wasn't happy it was sitting on their lawn.

I bought the car from Max (deolio) after unsuccessfully searching on and off for about 3 years. Now I know what you're thinking, "240s are cheap why did it take you so long?" Well I'm impatient for saving money, My job working for my dad as a mechanic wasn't making so much since work was slow and I already had a daily that i was working on a little bit. This car wasn't exactly for sale but i bugged max enough to sell it to me and he needed more final bout money. I thought it was the perfect platform since it would help me learn about the car while building and i'd know everything would be in good shape since a lot of new parts were gonna be needed to put this thing together.

Dual cam KA he threw in, unknown condition but the guy he got if from said it was good

Car didn't have a trans but got one from a customer of a friend

The car in it's new home, my shop. Where I had every tool possible at my disposal so no excuse as to why i couldn't build this car. I started working on cars with my dad around the 7th grade and at this point I'm in 2nd year of college.

Shortly after getting the car I made an impulse buy on some SSR Gartmaiers on yahoo since they were really cheap, i put them on boat shipping since i knew this car wouldnt be ready soon.

So i didn't want to put that motor in without checking it first, so we pulled the head off and to check the sealing abilty of the top and bottom. Head was perfect but we found out the pistons were cracked.

ISIS/ISR Blast pipe exhaust kit, like the crappiest exhaust you can buy if your car is low FYI, fits like shit too.

Coils i think at this point. 150 megans in the front and free racelands in the back, sounds awful be legit rode well for cruising.
