Kevin's new S14. Stock RB25 as a daily.

Cool picture of Tom filling up.

Yeah everyone knows him lol, ben rebman yo. He still has the Mr 2 and dailys a blazer he said, but just picked up this single turb supra. Its hot and a limited edtn. Open wastegate so loud.Adam petershine was there too, but his mr2 is still getting built.

The cops did show at 1am, so we left after the piggy left. We all assumed he would come back to give out loitering tickets or something.

Dan that's a super idea, I should have freakin called u but since you're not around for most of the year I don't think about it lol sry.

93 octane for that price? I had to fill up

Sat night I went to a party and feared for my car's lip being busted. There was only one non smooth spot along this rock/dirt road where i had to gun it to avoid falling in a water rut. Plowing the driveway ftw, freaking long though. Glad I had my skidplate because I sure heard it working .

Just took a pic of my car today when I parked to help keegan. No sense trying to get in his driveway with this ride height either. Idk how he's going to cope with it with the aero, probably ziptie it back on/off lol.

Ride height visible for yall. Idk I want to go lower, but I scrape everywhere already.. Rear too. Frame rails barely clear small speed bumps.I like how it looks dirty behind the wheels. Kinda gives it a sense of speed even at a standstill. Keegs helped me roll my fenders so I'll finally stop scraping those rears over bumps.

New NICO member: Guugley from AUS Photo-shopped the low lit pic for me out of love and apparently too much free time. Once you get a project car you surely won't have as much time heh. Thanks again for taking your time to help a fellow nissan owner out, again I really appreciate it, espeically because I didn't ask .

My new sig yall just so you know where it came from. Beach (OCMD) tomorrow then baltimore for the clubs. I've come to love ocmd ever since my 3 senior weeks lol... See you late sunday!

I wish I could have gotten better pictures from saturday night. Next time we go up to York I'll get some. I would have gotten better rolling pictures, but it seemed like everytime the picture would take, I would hit a bump. York+PBM= ROUGH.

Thanks for the love nico guys, respected membars of the community always welcome. My build's going to stay pretty simple/humble until I'm done with school. < How many times am I going to say that UGH.

Ya u better be josh LOL. I might come down there and pick up the lugs 2morrow after checking out another apt in hburg... Because I have 5mm spacers for the swazi's now to clear the front brakes, so I may run them wherever I please.

Today, I was graced with access to mum and pops garage for complete tie rod overhaul. Moog S14 style. Yes s14s on my s13. You have to do both at once.Both the outers were BEYOND BLOWN. They both had some play, minute, but at 70mph you feel it a lot.

I've started to nickname my car the blue space shuttle. When you enter PA onramps with PBM coils while listening to your fav turbo through a full 3" exhaust.... I'm sure you get the idea.

Installed, I had to remove the PBM steering rack/tie rod spacers. to get enough thread to fit. It's ok though, I noticed reduced bump steer because of this. (due to the fact that the distance from the inner rod's pivot ball to the knuckle had 5mm more length, so the angle slightly decreased)Better for daily, but I do miss it a bit. Need to find a middle ground.

I went for a cruise with some locals, but it was kinda nub so good idea staying home doug lol. They didn't wait for ppl who got left behind at red lights: fail.

Small update. Went to WC's house to check out some items of value. I heart his dads driveway.

Took a shot of my ebay downpipe flex section that's getting destroyed by the ride height. Little wiskers are scraped off so the metal is next. Mind my fingers I'm a noob w my new phone cam.

Picked up an exedy stage 1 organic clutch/plate since jeff's going with a more aggressive one. You guys might remember I'm still using my OEM probably original SR20det clutch from 93 lol... Pressure plate can only hold about 12 lbs in 5th gear at 2.5k rpm

Oh yeah and that's a downpipe greddy or greddy knockoff. Regardless it'll help my clearance and get that flex section outta here! It's been sitting outside jeffs for monthssss so it's definitely a good stainless steel heh.

L8ta all. Thanks for the props.

bro.. get some 17 or 18.. decent sidewall tires, and stop scraping everywhere...

i slammed my front and scraped everywhere, until i had enough.

now i enjoy cruising instead of looking at the road and not hearing my friends complain. i know i know, you get used to the impact, but b****es FREAK out

edit, look at ur front swaybar btw, mines not a circle anymore :p
