i only have one s13

due to blackice... i needed to fix some things...

that turned into a "hey while im in there..." thing

and now i have a ROOM full of parts to go on

big brakes, 5 lug, wheels, tires, aero, lights, full PSM catalog of susp/steering... and a good bit more... youll all see as work begins again... and the bank account cools off...

the sr will be built over the next few months... seeing as the rest of the car is pretty much done

This is a relief to hear. You've been working on Tree's car so much I wondered if your parts were installed or all still sitting around. Good to know!

I heard this car is unnecessarily low. I've also been told my car was unnecessarily low. We should have a competition on who has the lowest daily driven S13 in the area. Sonic meet anyone ?

unnecessarily low as in my trans bellhousing scrapes crowned roads? yes. (i broke oem motor mounts that way) my car is notorious in this part of pa as "ridiculously" low...

car will be low again, fo sho. problem is, im fitting wheels that are 1.5 inches wider and 1" larger diameter with meaty tires (its a grip car), so front ride height will be limited. limited to juuuuust enough clearance to turn... turn at 50+*...

challenge accepted. meet at sonic definitely. game on, sir.

On crowned roads, I've been known to scrape rack instead of trans (solid mounts raised my motor and trans a bit). What wheels are you going with ? I have 17x9 +8ish and 18x9.5 +10 right now and I plan on going down another 1/2 inch for this summer. I've HEARD of the sonic meets from TST but I've never actually been there. What PA town is it in ?

Keegan I'm really surprised you didn't have a skidplate! We may need to borrow one from somewhere right outside your driveway... I had no idea it was that low lol.

This NJ /PA thing sounds sweet. We should encompass more ppl and meet up at the philly 240sx meet on june 7th, being that it's right on the border!

Flattened exhausts FTW. I can't even prove my APEXi N1 is real anymore since the Jasma and APEXi badge scraped off.

Is it in the daytime? I can't drive through Philly at night. Too many potholes and raised manhole covers would surely destroy me if I can't see them to avoid/slow down.

Dear Mr. Keegan,

I sent an email to the address in your profile. Not sure how current or regularly checked it is. If you get a second to reply I'd appreciate it much.

Thanks for the on site knowledge today Keegan, only thing I didn't finish up was cutting the 1/0gage main wire because I would like to hook up the junction box to the starter before cutting.
