Only thing i have hooked up is the speed sensor. No neutral, no 5th gear and no reverse. Gotta get your hands on a 5 speed lower harness. Or, wire everything separate and direct.

So sick. This is the epitome of what they should have been like stock.

Also I have very similar safety googles. You should cut it down, so much more comfortable.

Don't worry, its only if I get my asking price. I'm not set on selling it 100%. But if i'm happy with an offer I'll give her up. I want to put away money so I when I come across an MKiV Supra. To many may seem out of reach, but obviously who got anywhere with that attitude right?

Haha nice bro! Thats a crazy coincidence! Yea, moved out of there a couple months ago.

Well, like i said earlier... not 100% set on selling the beast just yet. Actually came across some oem rear valances for dirt cheap! Guy came into my store where i work and asked who's s13 was parked out front. Said he had some valance and picked them up from him real quick!

I'll paint them real quick and slap them on.

I f*** hate thieves.
people work hard for what they have,
and some low-life has to come along and take it away.

I'm sorry to hear the bad news,
hope it turns up and everything works out ok man.

:(
that happened to a friend of mine.
he was away (military) and the car was at his best friend's house (EnjoiNismo on here)
and it was stolen in the middle of the night.
it was a cleaaan hatch, as clean as your coupe.

unfortunately it never turned up altogether but there are suspicious people that could lead to the thieves.
that, and the bastards posted up parts on craigslist...

Despite the loss,
I appreciate the attention to detail with both work, pictures, and the overall build thread.
loved reading updates and new pics.

what are you gonna do if it never turns up (lets hope it does of course)?
gonna build another one?

Wow that sucks. I saw this car on craigslist, by you ofc, and been in love with it ever since. Got a s13 hatch that needs a buncha work and isn't running, but you've been my inspiration. Prob some jack a** who would scrap it too...I live in SW wash. so if i see it driving around, ill be sure to call the cops. good luck!

Police still havent found it. Def. in parts by now. Yea I had full coverage on it. Processed the claim the day it got stolen. I know im not i'm going to get even close to what i put in to it. But I guess thats better than nothing at all. Pretty depressed about it. But, I feel everything happens for a reason. The little money that i get from insurance will help pay off a lot of debt. So my wife and I can finally get a house... with a garage.

So the next build will be at home and not back and forth to my parents. I think when I start up a new build, it'll be with an s14. :werd:
