Beautiful car and CA! How is it getting parts for that engine? Is there enough after market support to make it worth it?

Nice. Are you planning on getting coilovers soon?

I would definitely try and do a CA 1.8 swap in place of my Ka24e but I have the same question... Are the aftermarket parts hard to find? Also, does that engine mount right up to the s13 and the transmission the same as the ka?

I have one suggestion. Next time your doing work and pull the rad, mask off sand and paint the core support, your engine bay looks clean except for just that one area.

why is there that big openning on the cold pipe w/o anything attached?

CA looks good.

Ps to those who are lost, there is more than enough aftermarket support.

most people use that port for the IAT IIRC. his lookss open which would be a big vac leak.

Thanks guys.

Parts are pretty easy to find if you try a little.

Im really not sure why it spits off the pipe like that but it is closed off and looks clean.

Coilovers will come in time, have my eye on a top mount manifold and a T3/T4.

Getting ready to pull the rad again, gonna replace it with an aluminum one and a new 12in. fan

transmission isnt the same but a ka trans can bolt up using the CA bellhousing.

Think i answered everything lol.

Very handsome looking CA.

The exhaust side Cam breather tube is missing? Or was this before the project was finished.

nope its just open. it still needs a few things like a overflow tank, some better couplers and clamps, ect
