1krusty89's build thread. progress pics.

[1krusty89]

So, im back.and i needed to document my build.this will be the first time i ever get into this much detail with a car.some may remember my old fastback.





i sold it. (yes i make dumb decisions lol)and i picked up this fastback and a s14 to daily.

so the platform is a 90 fastback with a rb20.









it was pretty gutted.basically a drift car. it has tanabe sustec coils.subframe collarsa welded diffand a bucket seat (which is getting tossed)

i really want to build a clean s chassis and despite the physical appearance of the car its never been wrecked. so off i go.

the tear down.









so the plans are to make a very clean presentable s chassis.i have some parts coming in. and a paint scheme in mind.

for now ill be doing bay prep. making my own power brace.maybe stitchwelding the bay and chassis. and etc. ill keep this thread updated. creative criticism is appreciated. thanks all.

what do you guys think about painting the interior flat black. its going to be covered with carpet and seats and etc. but i dont know about rear seats as its going to be caged.

[MastaYu]

^ i think that would be cool. Are you going to be sticking with the rb20?

thanks for reminding me.no i wont be. i have a ka-t setup waiting. ill be posting pics later this week of it.

Good luck with the build. Flat black might be cool for the interior just don't paint it any bright colors. My S14 is white and I have my interior gutted the white paint reflects the sun to the window and all I can see is my rear deck in my rear window.

Post some pics of the s14?

[1krusty89]

s14.

[Didderson]

Sexy s14 man. Makin' zenki look good.

Good luck cleaning up the s13. I'm in the same boat but a bit less paint work to do!

[1krusty89]

damn i havent seen one of those rb's in a while. that rb is a very very early model. sometimes coming in the z31.

how can you tell?

[dsc4130]

the red valve covers with the ribbs are a dead give away. plus its slightly different than mineits not a bad thing, as long as it runs good its a normal rb20. its just a bit older than most*they also came out of the a31*

[1krusty89]

i get you.well i had planned on canning the interior and pulling the subframe but it started raining hard. just like its been all week. this blows.

[1krusty89]

managed to get the subframe out.ill update tomorrow when i get the ka-t stuff.and on the weekend when i start to paint the interior and prep the bay

[dazedandconfuzed]

Looking good man, I like what I see. Keep us posted.

[1krusty89]

only update i have now is my wheel arrived. i love that shiet.



ill update after saturday. ill be at the d1gp here in sfl so i wont be working on the car.

[samxini]

Nice wheel, maybe I missed it but what brand?

[1krusty89]

theres no brand. atleast what i know of. all i know is that its a mooneyes replica with a 6bolt pattern instead of the 3 bolt the mooneyes wheels use.

[1krusty89]

just came back from a mini vacation in orlando with the in laws. so ill update this week.

[S13Joe]

Nice work so far man. I'm really diggin the hood too, is that your work? If so could you post up some pictures of your work if you have any? If you would rather not post here then you can e-mail me them at [email protected].

[1krusty89]
