Ack! Dashboard glare!! Nice chuki, body is good from what I can see. Maybe just a door skin. Yay for driveway mechanics!

New here...

Josh from York, Pa. Car is a 92, picked it up for $500, its sitting on K-Sports, the engine has a rod thrown (2nd one back from front, dont know the "orders" of the chambers on these cars, as if it goes from front to back).

Got another engine the other weekend, broke a head bolt in putting a gasket on, and another holes threads started ripping (I could hear it). Im confused as to why, I did the torqueing in steps, 25 to 60, then loosened all the way and then 50 and final 80 and thats when stuff started going wrong... I have ARP studs on the way and when they arrive, Im heading out to get helicoil inserts to fix my screw ups. It came across to me that possibly my torque wrench is screwed up? Is the threads ripping out common? What should I torque it down to?

Anyhow, the pics.





76k KA24de and unknown milage MTX trans in the middle of getting cleaned up. Already pressurewashed and painting has begun.

fair trade IMO

I really like the 180sx corners but the money for looks? eh I feel more compelled to spend my money on getting the car running like its bullet proof, I got the clears thrown in with another order so I didnt complain and it helps me find my car when im in newbury park as I seem to run into a million s13's that are totally stock outside like mine used to be.Im so happy with my car that I try to avoid putting pics of it up or letting very judgmental people get their 2 cents in because honestly if its one thing I dont want or need is peoples rude opinions on MY car.mechanical advice and opinion is greatly appreciated so I can learn something.
1. If you don't want people to dis your friend's pignose, perhaps you could try to avoid posting pictures of it on the chuki crew thread?

2. You haven't asked for any mechanical advice. We'd be happy to help you out if you did.

He's being sarcastic.

People interpret things differently online I guess...

Already did! Also painted. I glass beaded the manifold also and put that high temp paint on it but I hear it sometimes bakes off and doesnt last long, I decided it has to look better than rust...

ARP head studs arrived, waiting on a new head gasket. Then i need to drill out at least 2 of the holes in the block and helicoil them since 1 bolt snapped in one and threads were popping in another.

I also got a F1 Sage 2 clutch and racing flywheel (off e-bay). Decided to give them a try, if it doesnt last long I can always upgrade. Just need them to last at least 7 months.
