Badbob's New Project Build ~ SR20det GT2871 ~ More Updates

[badbob2121]

Cool, I can't remember, did you end up cutting your subframe bushings? it really does make a difference in suspension geometry when you raise the subframe.

No I didnt end up cutting them, I honestly forgot about it but oh well

I bought my a Wife a 2012 Nissan Rogues S SE yesterday. Its a great car




So I'm also going to clean up my bov recirculation. I have had another hot pipe and and HKS flange sitting in my basement for awhile now. So I bought a clocking adapter so the other hot pipe lines up correctly.



Today I plan on mocking everything up to find a better location for the bov. Then having the flange welded this week.

Then make sure all is running top notch and I plan on having it on the dyno in early May to see what its currently making @ 20psi.

Well I received all of my goodies from Stealth Custom Fabrication...

Front and Rear Strut Tower Braces & Tension Rod Brace



I am amazed with the quality of these Braces. Special thanks to Jonnie from Stealth Custom Fab for the great service and amazing pricing..

Just a quick picture of the front brace..



I am still waiting on a few pieces to complete my BOV Recirculation. I have spent hours and hours plus atleast $75 in random pieces and parts... but it is going to looks so much better

[Chris28]

Just installed the FSTB and tension rod brace myself, huge difference in driving, even more apparent on the track. You'll love them. Keep it up!

[badbob2121]

looks alot better then before...

[S13AL]

Nice, I've been looking for a strutbar without hinges. Making it pivot at the ends defeats the point.

really like your car and choice of parts have you thought or have you already tooken it to an autocross or track to se show the parts actually perform?

Gateway Motorsports Park here in St. Louis just opened after being closed for years. So I actually might be drifting the car before the season ends.. so soon hopefully

bad a** hatch man, get that engine bay painted! great quality work

[badbob2121]

get that engine bay painted!

I know.... but it just seems way too impractical to pull a perfect running engine to only paint the bay.

Whenever I do, or whenever the car meets another paint booth.. the bay will surely get the attention it needs.

i was thinking more along the lines of pulling you turbo pipes and a few of your accessories, tape off your engine and sprat evert thing you can see with high temp. then if you deside to go rb or somthing happens to your sr, clean, sand and blend the brest of your engine bay. it does however seem like allot of unneeded work lol

edit: sorry bout all the typos my son is sleeping in my arms lol i only got one hand.

[badbob2121]

^^ I get what your saying, but i would rather leave it as is until I can properly shave and clean everything up. I just want to drive the car now...



I got this all in yesterday..

This week im going to give the S13 a good cleaning and take it out for a photoshoot.. so more pictures to come

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Haha, nice daily driver. Why does the 240 even leave the garage now?

[badbob2121]

[S13AL]

I can bet the 240 is still way more fun to drive. Those mustangs are boats.

[badbob2121]

Both cars are equally fun to drive, just in different ways.

The mustang is fast, and with the RTR package (FRPP shocks/struts/springs) it handles great as well.

and compared to its competition, the mustang is no boat..

[jsturges18]

lookin' good!

Hey man, how are those tires holding up for you? Any traction issues with those?

[Driftnaut]

Love those wheels! I'm not usually a fan of the sil-front, but you make it beautiful, just out of curiosity where did you order that skid plate?

[badbob2121]

Of course I have traction issues..lol
They aren't expensive tires, but for the price I have no complaints..

What kind of results did you get with that second dyno session? Thought it was in here somewhere, must be blind or something.

[Driftnaut]

Thanks! And the car actually makes me like the Silvia front again all of the ones around here have been spray bombed black because they couldn't afford paint of just cracked beyond repair and sagging

[badbob2121]

No 2nd dyno session yet. Ive just been too busy lately. But I have a dyno lined up and I'm also trying to get a few buddies to join and make a day out of it... but its tough finding a time when everyone's cars are all ready

Its crazy how much paint can completely transform a car...which is one thing I guess 90% of the s chassis community doesnt understand..

I'm sure your just a little curious to see what your gonna put down, if your not then I am. I have an pretty similar set up, get ready to be sucked into your seat!

[badbob2121]

I drove in my first drift event yesterday, and I had a blast.

I picked up a welded diff last week and threw it on for the event.

It was a great learning experience and I cant wait till the next event.

I didn't take many pictures, but there were alot of photographers, so maybe a few more pictures will pop up.

[Driftnaut]

I'm sure that was a blast!

[badbob2121]

I'm sure that was a blast!

It really was


No driving shots found yet... but these popped up
