[Steady_One_S13]

[blakexcore]

baller steering wheel cover

[blakexcore]

dude it adds like 30 hp TO THE WHEELS!!!

but seriously,my steering wheel has crazy amounts of sun damage, and its cracked and s***, so i just put it on there

[HoosierSX]

had one the first two years after the resto on my camaro.

[blakexcore]

ahah

what year is your camaro?

i love 70-81 camaros

[MastaYu]

Welcome! nice car

[HoosierSX]

71

if you wear leather driving gloves with that steering wheel cover, you will instantly feel like this guy

[thoughtless]

i am def. going to be following this post.

i think this forum needs it;s own build thread.

[blakexcore]

thanks mani should be getting some wheels within the next 2 weeks

[wynnEZ]

Sounds like a dream to me, but good luck!

[blakexcore]

yeah, my mod list inst very realistic at the moment

haha, mainly just pipe dreams

[sebazztard]

go with a chuki front, please dont do sil80, its very ghey. good start tho.

[yotik]

wow thats pretty clean. wish mine was that clean when I started.

[s13 iDRIFT]

yes indeed nice future mod list.

-looks really clean! i will follow. but i say keep the piggy with the lip or sil front with the piggy lip.

Good Luck!

[Bob_Sagat]

Your off to a great start for being 16!

[S13Joe]

go with a chuki front, please dont do sil80, its very ghey. good start tho.

I completely agree. That ghey Sil80 s*** is some ghey fanboy s*** IMO.

OP, my opinion doesn't matter though, whatever you want get it. Just remember: Performance over looks, and I'm not saying 0mFg go esss arrr!!! Btw, SR is some ghey overrated s***. Boost the KA, for less money you can have more power. Win, win situation.

[blakexcore]

im honestly still torn between a sil80 and 180sx type x conversion, and also swapping in a ka24de and turboing that and an sr

but i always thought of an sr being more reliable seeing as it comes turboed from the factory

i dont really know what i wanna do right now

[sebazztard]

here is exactly what you do right now, fix everything that is broke, leaking, loose, missing, needs changing, adjusting and go from there. its nice to dream but you cant build up a car on broken and loose parts. ka-t is a nice start, thats what i plan on doing on my build, nothing major.

[blakexcore]

well its all fixed and ready for mods now,all new fluids, new oil pump, new clutch, and everything

and it runs like a champ

im just looking for some s14 stockies

[sebazztard]

nice. start with some suspension mods next.

[zeause]

looks nice man. The pig nose will grow on ya. look at the best looking s13s ever thread near the end theres a really nice dark colored pig nose hatch without a hood. Also theres a thread about ppls favorite mods theres a lot of ideas in there that might help you decide some stuff. Good luck!

[hbpignosePA]

looks nice,

but at 16 your mod list has some pretty high hopes... all of that is gonna run you alot of money;

dont wanna crush your dreams im just a realist.

gl with your car

[breadbox]

you seems like he is doing this over night. He put up a list of parts that describe like 3 s13's near me.

I'd say he could get all that in a long overworked summer.

Looking forward to more.

ps Chowder is the greatest cartoon to come out since I have been an adult.

[breadbox]

Also if you are looking for an awesome exhaust.

[blakexcore]
