New 240, New Build. Drift/Auto X

[Future_gohan]

Today was a longg day. lol 6am wake up is never happening again. haha

Either way. Got the engine back, and got it together and in the 240. with the transmission.








arp head studs w/ thread lock, not coming back out lol





Camera stucks at night, but i put the engine together and in my car in one day. woo.

Everything is done as correctly as i could do it, everything was done by the fsm. Only thing that confused me was the eagle rods, they didn't say how to install them, but i just did it as how the factory ones were.

[Didderson]

Fkn awesome man! Just in time! How much longer you figure or are shooting for?

[Future_gohan]

like two weeks to get it running(i'm broke now so waiting on money again. lol) and a week to fix the bugs and get it to the track.

I WILL be at drift practice at beaverun on the 23rd. with my car. lol

[Future_gohan]

Front is now lower a tad, i gotta hammer the lip in some more. but i'm not pulling it. lol





I know i'm the only one stoked about this, but GOD AM I STOKED. i've waited for the engine to be back in this car forever. lol

[Future_gohan]

Bolted the trans cross member in, Plugged in all the transmission sensors


I think i have a soft spot for stock body s13's.







I can't get the alt. tensioner or the ps tensioner to line up correctly, i feel so dumb because i know its something stupid. ughh

[Idahos13]

Good job man! Cars lookin real fine these days, best of luck to you getting the engine running!

[mRodiek]

Looks 10000x better w/o the skirts.

Glad to see its coming along!

[Future_gohan]

[some_white_guy]

i agree, take off the skirts haha

[Future_gohan]

no haha. i like them i don't care what others thinK! xd

[Future_gohan]

Soo, it lowered some more, i've tried rolling the fenders some more before, but it just still rubs. I'm going to take a rubber hammer to it some more and just deal with the rest. I'm not raising the car. lol

[tEknoS13]

Looks great I actually like the side skirts. Quick question; you mentioned you hammered the lip and tried to roll the front fenders to accomodate for the Battle wheels. My question is, what was done to the rear? I just bought the same wheels and Im wondering what I gotta do to it. Your rear q panel doesn't appear to be pulled. BTW: I'm also running 235/40 17....

[Future_gohan]

Well, My rears are rolled and slightly pulled from having bigger rims on it before. With battles with 245's You will just need to roll the lip in and accommodate the rest with camber. that's when battles look the best. front just roll the fenders

[tEknoS13]

Thank you sir So, since I'm getting 235's you think a PULL won't be necessary for the rear? I have Peak Performance RUCAs so the camber part is good to go.

[Future_gohan]

It won't be, Just use the camber bro. Pulls on battles look bad.

[tEknoS13]

Awsome

[Future_gohan]

Haven't updated this in a wile, because guess what. i've been busy.

Car is running pretty good, i need a lot of timing to get it to run right, and right now it won't idle correctly, it will for a few seconds, then start to shake spit and spudder and then eventually die after a minute.

But it runs like a champ, going to do some little things because I went to beaverun yesterday(monday) and I had a lot of problems, little things that were dumb, a few that shouldn't have happened, and blah blah blah, to much to explain.

but I did break my driver side inner tie rod in half at the track, that was fun, sike.







Hopefully this summer i can order a bunch of burnoff rims, preferably more battles, so my rims always match. after my coupes done this is becoming my b**** again(aka cage, z33 trans, t3 top mount v mount intercooler)

[Lonismos14]

Cool to see it running agian.

[Idahos13]

Hows the ISIS suspension arms holding up? And do you recomend them?

[Future_gohan]

Well its not running now, i blew the headgasket from the arp studs lifting, I never re tq'd them, i was told to do it after 2500 miles. wtf.

Oh well, pulling the head off and replacing it with a cometic.

In other news. As of next week i might(as in 95.99% chance) i'm trading my coupe w/ the sr for this shell:


Full cage, front tubs are cut out and its in really good shape.

I'm thinking.

Ka power'd vert, sr power'd hatch. well well? thats my idea.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

lolbradsvert

That shell was acid dipped... Then sat outside in the rain for a day before paint.

Just sayin.

Yeah, i heard about that. but i'm not all too worried about it. The car i'm giving up can't be much worse. lol

Brads vert is decent and will work for what i need it for, aka drifting.

[Future_gohan]

But in other news with a drift caw.

[Bumnah]

Thank god you got rid of those hideous sideskirts.

[Future_gohan]

lol I never got rid of them, i couldn't get the car into the garage with them on. xD

[Future_gohan]

[Future_gohan]

[Future_gohan]

screw autocross. lol

[Chris28]

Bwahaha it looks ridiculous with so many colors. Awesome that "it" is running again, the engine at least.

What's this about having to re-torque ARP head studs?

[Future_gohan]

Yeah, i'm in the market for new over fenders and possibly a new kit(I want to go sil front). I already have a guy in line who is going to paint this whole car a nice blackk.

With arp studs you must re torque them after a few heat cycles or after so many miles. I didn't and the first drift event i went too with the engine my head lifted a little and blew the headgasket. I now have a new mls cometic and it its amazing.
