I just did my water temp meter. It was really simple.

Yashio Factory hose adapter. cut the hose. put it in. hose clamp both sides.

Screw in the temp sensor. (please use thread tape too)

Run the wires through the firewall hole I mentioned earlier.

Hook one wire to a ground (used the shifter plate hole.

Hook one wire to ACC or Constant or whatever. don't really know. Tapped that into the radio wire. done and done.

BH, love the coverage of you on Speedhunters.

I love the color of the S13. To make the car complete i would just bore and rebuild the KA. You get pulled over how could they tell?

you're into time attack? lol

hey how are KTS coilovers? they are 8/6 spring rates so i would imagine they are your basic quality street coilovers..

How much do you think the strut tower braces help? I will probably never get a cage so I am looking for ways stiffen things up and I am wondering if they are worth the money?

Spooled - Time Attack is neat. It was a joke. SOme of the parts of the track were simply too big and fast for me to drift, so I just gripped them.KTS are probably fine. They will lower the car and make it stiff.

Metal Angel - Get the GT Spec braces. They are fantastic. On my old S14 I had tower bars as one of the only mods and I could tell the difference on the streets. I would do mild turns and s*** with the bars on and off. Trust me, They work.

I even experimented with them at the track. Took the front tower bar on and off. Didnt like it with no bar. Put the bar back on. loved it again.

Oh yeah one more Q about the tower bars... Do you think that the GT spec bars are of exceptional quality or do you think I could get the same results with any similar tower bars?

My HONEST opinion right here.

Generic tower bars will work. sure.

I never wanted them. I like name brand things (in every aspect of life).

So for a long time, I would always run CUSCO bars. They are great quality and super stiff.

Then, recently with this new car, I found these GT Spec bars and was 100% blown away. They are MUCH better than Cusco and I won't turn back.

I 100% suggest the GT Spec parts.

It isn't a bad thing that they have a REALLY cool paint scheme on them too! lol

I am taking you seriously.

It is an engine that nissan uses in various cars. Commonly found in Silvias for RWD and sentras for FWD ( non turbo)

Yeah for now.

My car is ALWAYS for sale. If somebody wants to give me a good price, it's GONE.

For now, I won't try to actively sell it.

Speaking of colors. I REALLY like this new Scion color I have seen around on the xBox. The best way I can describe it is like a dark teal. Has no metallic or anything, looks great.

Color name is Hypnotic Teal Mica, found a picture.
