I want an SCE race oil pan for my car... and its stock :lol:
Cursed it and called it bad names while walking by. So tired of it in parts, and every time I start working on one part I find I am missing, or break something so I have to find a part and move to another section to work on only to have the same thing happen. Shesh. I swear this build isn't ever going to get completed. And Chris moved so far away I probably can't bribe him to come work on it ......
don't think your car is unique in the parts it needs, I'm working on my Girlie's S13 (Nissan Silvia) and fuck sake EVERYTHING is broken, ALL rubbers need replacing...god damn heap of SHIT.
Have my '95 Stealth half way in the garage, just to get it out of the rain to do the 120k at 141k. I've owned the car for 2 months and the water pump and timing belt tensioner went out.
It isn't a heap, its all new parts but it is a 6g74 conversion (Short block built by Scotty, Ray's builder with their designed pistons/rods/tool steel wristpins), thus a lot of the pain. Installed some new fuel rails and sliced a couple of the injector o-rings. So have to find replacements that fit right (precision turbo 880's) Need the custom intake I bought changed up because when it was fabbed they didn't take into account the timing gears, it clears the tappet covers but the TB won't clear the cam gears. New timing belt covers have to be fixed up to fit right, oil pan needs different bolts going to the split alum from the single steel .. little things like that. Just requiring more time that I have, Oh still need to send out the turbo for a rebuild too ... /sigh.
i don't know why but i find this hilarious. :lol:Quote:

Another friend removed the gas tank, cut a huge hole for a fuel cell. It needs frame work in the very back. The friend that removed the tank also gutted the interior without bagging/tagging the screws/bolts.Quote:

Put the top down on the Straman and drove it to work.
Stopped by Advance Auto and bought six quarts of Mobil One, a new oil filter, and some detailing supplies.
When I got home, I moved the TT around the back of the house, and pulled the Straman into the driveway behind the house and cleaned it out. Used the shop vac to thoroughly vacuum it out, then pulled out the floor mats and gave them an initial scrubbing. I rubbed Oxy Clean powder into the wet mats again, then hung them right outside the back door to let it soak in overnight. Gave the interior an initial wipe down. Lots of work left to do on that one,.,.
I need a 'Miguel'.
LOL Miguel is coming to the shop tomorrow.
He's my sales rep though.
Fixed a kink in the vacuum line on my BOV, doesnt WHOOOSH anymore, night and tight sounding again.
Ordered my new front struts and transmission mount today. Hopefully, these will be the last parts i buy before i set out on my journey to the NG.
Finished my install of the wideband and boost gauge. The dash looks much cleaner without a boost gauge sitting there like it doesn't belong. Also wired the wideband into the ECU, now I just need to set up the datalogger to read it.
Started cleaning up the AWD components for the conversion. Still need to wire brush the rear subframe and prep it for paint.
wirebrush? dude you want to dip it :p
Installed the DLI .... finally .... 25 pds tomorrow !!!!
You're going to love it. I've done 18 psi at .040+Quote:

Oh, and under the carpet I found a nice new looking passenger interior door handle and lock switch.
I took it to Advance to get some body work supplies and ended up showing it off to a couple guys who had gathered around it while I was inside. :thumbup:

Didn't do it today. But about 24 hours ago I drove it into the path of an apparently blind Ford Festiva owner, who then spun me out, and drove off.

I went into my garage started working on it then got pissed cuz it never runs right. Then went and drove my 450hp dsm.
Have really bad brake shudder, checked all runouts, everythings good, everythings tight, have no clue whats wrong :(
have you changed your pads?
looked at her waiting to drive..been sitting on driveway for 2 weeks cause of spun bearing =(((
Looked at her, apologised for the long wait and promised her she would have a body full of new blood this weekend.

Finally got around to doing the fuel pump resistor bypass. Took all of 10 mins LOL. Next weekend I might do the rewire/hotwire. I think the bypass resolved one of my issues though. I had a wierd issue when cruising and the boost got to a certain lever [same time every time] it had a small shudder like fuel cut then past it it was fine. If I sat on that point it stumbled and was undrivable but if I mash my foot it does straight past it with no issues. I suspect it might have been the switch over point for the resistor.
Dude - I did that like 9 years ago. :p
