I'll let it go for 600. Thanks for the advice James. I'll look into and check on other forums too to see if i can come up with the problem

I havn't been here to much in the last coulpe of weeks, but I have a good excuse, I've been working my a$$ off getting all the pretty suspention parts I posted pictures of installed. Randy and me finished up everything but installing the coilovers last night, and they're not going on until after I get the car painted. I took the car for a quick spin today, really really quick since I haven't put the exahust back on yet and you can proably hear the thing a mile away. (but it does sound frickin awesome ) The car drove great, I can't wait to get the body work done and get the coilovers on so I can take it for a longer drive and see what it can realy do.

I'll try to get a few pics tomorrow of everything on the car.

That car is mostly in pieces, so you'd have to tell me exactly everything you'd need.

didnt even see this...i would need the power lock assemblies, window regulators, motors, track, and the harness out of the door with enough wire to feed it, and extend it to power. dont need the mirrors, but it would be a nice touch.

with the holidays upon us, im sure no one has much free time (i sure dont w/ 4 kids & wife, plus family coming in from new york and florida...) so i am in no rush for this stuff, just trying to line it up for the new year

not sure what all it has, we're getting alisha's doors, so you can take the whole things if you want, after we get them. i know the door panels are there but don't know what shape theyre in, wiring is there, tracks are there, I'll try to find out if anything is missing that way you know what else to track down or if you're still interested.

hey man, not sure if you'll get that much with it not running, I say bite the bullet and put an SR on your credit card. A good chassis is a good chassis and is always worth fixing.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 6:27 pm

I believe im going to start parting my car out. I'll talk it over with my father tomorrow. But if anyone needs me for any type of reason and i dont seem to respond them shoot me an email and i'll get back to ya. Sorry guys, just been really busy and my birthday is coming up the 28th.

Post by **gr8bryt** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 12:35 pm

Well I was thinking that I was asking a bit much, but then I did some research on vehicles of my same year and I found other sellers in this same ballpark. I've had a couple of replies, but I'm ok whether I sell it or not to be honest.

Post by **maxima278** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 6:02 pm

yeah, I'd just keep plugging away at it. you'll get it running eventually.

I suppose I agree w/ you about the chassis comment. I (un)fortunately don't use credit cards based on my impulsive tendancies, but if I did opt to just keep the chassis and wait for a new motor you which one it would be... RB

I've found a mobile mechanic that will look @ it for me for $25. I figured that I'll spend @ least that by replacing parts here and there to get the unknown issue resolved(worse) whichever comes first. I guess if he can give me some direction of specifics, that will give me a better idea of what I'm in for. Its been raining so I doubt he'll be able to see me this weekend, but maybe after Christmas. I just wanna get my car back on the road before school starts back again in January.

Honestly, I don't see that as an impulsive tendency. Millions of people finance cars every day, even I put my motor on a credit card. It was hardly impulsive, but rather, planned and long awaited. Also, I know you prefer the RB, as do I, very much so, but honestly can you afford it? I can't, at least not now. But if you sell that car, you will probably settle for less than $1000 selling price, or you might possibly spend $1000 trying to get the tired old ka24e in reasonable running condition again. If you sell it, odds are you will have to finance whatever econobox you end up with. Unless you get lucky and find out its something minor without spending a lot of money, then wouldn't my idea begin to sound pretty good after hearing the other alternatives? It does not mean you have to forgo the RB forever, I still fully plan on swapping one in my S14 at some point, but in the mean time, I'm going to thrash that SR. But your car will be running again, and be a lot of fun to drive for the next few years. Then when you're in a better financial position you can rip that SR out and sell it for pretty close to what you paid for it, or keep it like it is and just build up a new chassis with an RB. We all have big dreams, I just want to see more of us living them now instead of waiting so long they lose interest or worse yet, outgrow the desire.

check out this link, the guy has an S14 5 speed he is about to swap an SR into, which will leave him with a KA engine and transmission, so hit him up, his screen name is Hellfire.

Post by **gr8bryt** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 1:34 pm

Well James I see your point. All things considered, I'm probably just gonna get whatever the problem is resolved and just push on from there. I bought my car for two reasons: 1) Cause I wanna build a Silvia project, and 2) So I wouldn't have a car payment. I just have to be a little more patient. I suppose that I knew in the back of my mind that I would have a problem here and there, just not so soon after getting it on the road. Tax time is coming up soon, so maybe I'll use some of that money to "freshen" up the motor and get a thorough inspection of the car. There are a few little nuances that I'd like to resolve, but haven't had the time to address. When my wife finishes school in May, I'll have more time to devote to my car. Furthermore she will be working and that will definitely make things easier on me all around. I'm not gonna give up on this project, no matter how long it takes because I know the end result is gonna be a beast. Most people that drive Porches and Bimmers don't get those cars when they're 25-30, but later on when they get in their late 30's to early 40's. I'll be 30 in 2009 and I figure by 2015 I'll be close to finishing my car with plenty of time to enjoy it still. I'll also be a lot more mature with a less likely chance of doing something stupid to wreck it!

Merry Christmas everyone and happy holidays. I have to work on Tuesday, so it will be back to the grind for me. Sorry you have to work on Christmas Pat, that really sucks!!

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 1:36 pm

also, he lives in gainesville, and has not started on the swap as of wednesday, so let me know and I'll go check out the motor, drive the car, etc. if you're interested. I've bought several parts from the guy and he seems to be a pretty good guy.

Time for me to mosey back over :p .

Actually I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't had time to post.

I am never ever ever ever ever ever ever allowing crapacino in my car again. I stopped and grabbed one the other night and it spilled out a little bit when I took a turn hard. No biggie I thought. I will just wipe it up when I stop.

If only things were so easy. Apparently some of it got in behind the face on my CD player and ruined it.

I'm on crutchfield looking for another one but I'm sooooo ticked off about it.

Anyway I hope everyone else is doing okie!

Post by **Black on Gold** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 6:33 am

Hey, its Brandon. ALl i have to say Bryton is instead of "fixing" that KAE, if your not going to put a SR on a credit card ATLEAST get a nice, low mileage KADE. Just do your Hatchback a favor lol

who's brandon? anyway, hopefully he you won't have to do that. But if it cost more than a couple hundred dollars to fix that motor, then for $350-$500 it would make sense, since a DE does seem to be a much more reliable motor from what I've seen. But then you're right back where you started, might as well get an SR for $1800, keep it for a few years, then sell it for the same money to get the RB. I'm hoping you won't have to do any of that though. Just be weary of where you draw the line on spending money on a KA24E

Welcome back Brandon, I'm glad to hear from you. Given the circumstances however I wish it were with better news. That really sucks to spill capuccino everywhere, total PITA.

Well I've got GR8 news everyone. I finally got my ducks in a row and followed some of your suggestions. I bought a 5-gal gas can, $5 worth of gas, Lucas fuel cleaner, and some Sta-bil fuel additive. I mixed it all together and PRESTO...my car started today!! I was even able to drive it around my neighborhood closer to where I actually live..LOL I'm gonna head over to Wal-Mart to pick up an assorted terminal set so that I clean up that maf connector a bit, right now I'm using electrical tape. I figure once I'll venture out of the nest a little more until I'm comfy enough to drive it around town again. Hey, it looks like I may be able to have my car back for the new semester after all!

Post by **Black on Gold** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 7:31 pm

Congrats. And does anyone know what today is?

Post by **gr8bryt** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 9:18 pm

Ok well I couldn't wait until tomorrow so I went ahead and put more gas in the car and drove it around the hood a little. The car seems to drive okay as well as when it finally warmed up, rpms settled around 1K. There's no black smoke out the tail pipe and the only thing that seems off would be the light rattling coming from the timing chain. I presume that would be the little plastic guides inside that are wearing.

Pat is today your birthday by chance??

I'll drive around without music before I cut into my wheel budget again.
