yup you are correct, wrong bag .. sorry... i cant find the other bag with my headstuds in them...

the rod bolts i got from ARP myself and i also ordered a set off ebay to compare to ensure they were the same ones. i sold 1 set and still have this one.

the brown is from the collant yes, but from when i removed everything ... it wasnt because of a malfunction or any kind

awwww man.... too bad you bailed. It would've been refreshing to see someone in the u.s. push the little CA18... to paralell the 1.8 rollas over at 3TC.com. This sure was a platform for some quick ETs.Did you submit to peer pressure ? - lol

Curious why such a minimal jump to the SR instead of straight to the KA24... which could get your 9s with a stock top end... heck probably stock innards too & without spray.How much power u reckon needed to get your goal ?As some of the street rolla guys are hitting 35+ mpg and 9sec ETs with stock top end RZs.... yours would've been a nissan counterpart.Good luck anyway

thats funny you say that, i have no reason other then the fact that i have a perfectly running SR here in my S13 that i am parting with anyways.

3tc... hahah that you menstion that. im a 3tc guy myself.. RAISED with the lil hemi all my life. pops has a 69 corolla running in the 9's with a auto trans. but just this week made the decision to go with the RZ and a new chassis. I believe i am more tehm capible of propelling teh CA to being the FASTEST in the U.S but with so much going on i can have the car on the track faster just going with my stock SR and throwing my T04E i have here on it .i will only need 400-450ish whp to get me where i want to be that is with my chassis dialed in and everything else in good working order.

we will see how things pan out as if no one buys this or my S13 i might just keep the S13 as my street car with the SR and leave teh lil datsun with the CA...
