Lol, I just realized Mike, there's a local s13 coupe around my area that has the whole supermade kit. It's a white vert with XXR wheels I believe. BOOSTED.

Got my ass handed to me by a civic EK hatch with possibly a GSR swap. Well not ass handed but he beat me by a car length
Definitely miss the power of the 4G63T...

I really need to save for a light weight flywheel, Im sure it could benefit greatly from it. Still need to get header and exhaust for this car, I can totally tell that the top end is suffering from the restrictive exhaust

i have all my basic bolts ons... lol
oh yea.. i forgot.. i picked up an extra exhaust camshaft.. so i'll need to cut off an inch on the end cuz of the crank angle sensor and then put that in place of my intake camshaft.. they say theres a good gain in the mid-range so i'll see how that goes when i get a chance to get that extra piece chopped off..
its a good cheap mod... as for the ECU...........................
so expensive...... lol

Oh well. Im sure its better.

people say this mod is almost like advancing the timing by 14 degrees or something.. it'd be nice if i had a good increase in power mid-range..

Well I may adjust my cam a little. There are folks saying that advancing 3 teeth rather than 4 teeth, like I did, makes the power a lot more noticeable and down in the lower rpm range where the KA24DE likes to be anyway.
I may try that today as well as install that LSD. I cant wait to make two lines in the road when I burn out lol.

Sucks about the e brake cable. I have to fix the major exhaust leaks that I have but I dont care to fix them since I would prefer to get header and exhaust and the annoying ass leak pushes me to save for those pieces lol.
11-02-2011, 03:08 PM
ah.. ok.. thats what i was thinking of using.. cool cool.
yea.. well, they say its just loose and needs tightening.. i'm just so lazy to get under there now... lol
JB weld close that leak. lol

Half way through annihilating the outside, taking a short break now.
I take back what I said about how good the condition of your paint is, damn stealership must have thrown some heavy glaze on it. The car looked down right ugly after I stripped all the protection clean and decontaminated your paint thoroughly, lol.

Almost done with the exterior polishing now. Most panels took 2 hits instead of one. Good thing I came prepared with medium polish and medium polishing pads, lol. got one door/b pillar, front and rear bumper left to polish.
Called my supplier and asked about polishing the glass roof, the reply I got was "don't bother", not even abrasive paint polish will do anything for it since the roof is harden glass...
