[watty]

if i get a control arm!! i broke it drifted into a curb and snaped a tension rod and bent lower driver side control arm : ( this sucks you know anywhere in this area that has a part out i need that control arm ASAP any help appreciated....im brad too lol

I've got a parts car that still has full suspension on it if you need some parts. I'm in Huntsville.

Also, my friend has atleast one rolling chasis that I'm sure he will come off of for about $600. I'm going over there today to pull some parts off of my spare, so I'll ask him about it.

Give me a call: 652-8739

And Shift, I've got a Supercharged S14 Kouki

[Shift_Alabama]

What's up man? I saw your writeup on here about the install. I was wondering how it was doing. Have you got it up on a dyno yet?

[watty]

Well after replacing the supercharger, it is doing great. Mr. Knight sent me a bad unit and it decided to self destruct when the rear needle bearing finally went. But it is finally back on the road. Now that the weather is getting colder, I'm hitting 11psi. Oh, the fun!!!

No, I haven't gotten it dynoed. My friend is dragging his *** on getting the dyno installed in the new building. The concrete forms are made so hopefully the pit will be poured by the end of the week.

[Shift_Alabama]

I'm hopefullt gonna get an S14...I'm trying to get this really nice kouki on Autotrader, but its auto and $11,000...so I dunno. So what made you go with a supercharger instead of an SR or KA-T? Response? Price?

[watty]

$11,000 sounds pretty high for an auto unless it has like 30k on it. I bought mine 4 1/2 years ago for $8200.

I went with the supercharger because it was $1200, got me to the power goals I was looking for(10psi @ 1500rpm), and was different from what everybody else was doing. Also, It looks like my friend is getting his CnC Plasma Cutter so we will be making a few supercharger kits for local use and they will actually fit unlike a good portion of Mr. Knights stuff that he sent me.

[watty]

I just checked autotrader and there are two s14a's on there within 150 miles of here. One is $7000(w/72k miles and 5 speed) and the other is $5500.

[shpaintball]

hey man whats your ride wattydchi? ...your close by know anyone who could get me a driverside front control arm?

[watty]

I have one. I doubt I can pull it off today. I might could get it Thursday or this weekend. I'll let you have it for $35. Like I said, just give me a call.

Watty

[shpaintball]

you have one...dammit...i just paid 40 to have one shipped....and 35$ is a little pricey for me ...sorry....but i probably be in the market for one in a few weeks again for some other suspension...what are you driving? know anyone w/ some tokico shocks?

[watty]

That's cool. It's just sitting on a parts car.

I drive a red '97 supercharged 240sx.

I don't have a line on anyone with springs or struts. You are about the tenth person locally to ask me. I wish I did.

Watty

[shpaintball]

hatch in good shape? rust? s13?.....if so wanna trade? plus maybe some cash?

[watty]

The one I have is a coupe, but my friend has at least one hatch laying around. I'll ask him.

Watty

[ACESXX]

--> hey Watt about that SC Kit!!! tell me more about it!!! sign me up for one of the first ones will be getting an S14 sometime nxt year !! got some plans to finish my Miata first!!! let me know!

[watty]

Basically, it will be the same setup I'm running now except it will actually fit without you having to get very intimate with a die grinder. I'm also in the process of rerouting the throttle body adapter to eliminate the separate idle air stuff and mount it all on the piping. We'll see. I've got a mockup motor now so when we get some plates cut, I can really start playing. I'll keep everybody informed. I'll also share my tuning. I'm currently running a bikirom with a 95 ecu.

I have friends that collect random tools that allow us to do just about anything. It's kind of nice. I'm an aerospace engineer doing structures for helicopters.

I'm working on setting up a meet for the spring for the spring. Art at Trackmasters will most likely have an event at his new shop and then I plan on having the group migrate to my house which is just down the street from Huntsville Dragway for dinner before heading out to the track.

I'm working on a list of cars that I know would come out. Here are my close friends that will definately be there:

97 Supercharged s14a00 Maxima03 350Z Touring90 Turbo dohc s13 (to be twincharged)83 Turbo 280ZX90 300ZX-TT91 s13 w/silvia front end conversion06 WRX06 RX-877 Triumph Spitfire

These are just off the top of my head. I might also have my Titan by then.

nice little grocery list...lol ....come spring ill have my what i believe to be few and far between 90 pignose turbocharged 240 ....and my friend has should have his 300zx N/A done ...could also get a few others like 300whp GSX ...thats what i can think of...but i wanna get a little auto x / or track goof off in a few weeks ...like jan 1-5 area to go mess around w/ me i should have my new head in and new clutch / suspension ....it just sucks cuz i have to do all the work and not many of my friend can really help madison is full rich and honda f***...( sorry if you like hondas )

[watty]

To officially state it, I hate Honda's for performance. There is nothing about driving a civic that interests me at all. Accords and Acura's are ok, but I will stack up my Nissans and Infiniti's against them anyday for all aspects of driving.

Now back to the discussion, I too need to get to the track and play. The dragway is closed until it warms up in the spring. I have a friend who might can get a group of us into the Huntsville Speedway to setup a course in the infield. I know he was working on that last week.

I will try and remember to post up here when I'm getting a group over to work in the garage. It may be a minute because I have to start working on finishing my basement. Regardless I'll try to remember.

Watty

[shpaintball]
