Sgt. Kong's Rb20det S13 Build Thread

[Sgt. Kong]

Now after my timing blunder( removing my plastic guide on a sohc KA) and my trusting in a sae certified junk box to save some money and wasting an extra grand...
Time to do thnigs right and build this car up to what I had bought it to do. I originally bought this car, wekll trader it for my 929rr, got it with an extra grand, which I put inot the wokings of it. The subframe rails had some cancer on them, so I had some surgery done, and some custon gussets welded in and sealed. No worries on integrity, I took a friend off a street junp at this lil RR Xing the next town over... A solid 3ft of air, both our heads abotu breaking through the moon roof. But after all that I inspected the gussets and good to go... Need some new shocks and struts though

Just doing a lil tonight, but keep checkin back, there is a lot to come and I wont abandon the thread til its done!

Now this is how the story starts... I have A great new "wifey" material girl friend. She calls me at work while she is out at the shop getting some work done to her car(tires on a '09 mazda3). She tells of this news credit card she had gotten with a $8K limit on it. So me being who I am talk to her, and she so graciously agrees to finance my build... She's a keeper, likes bourbon, scotch and cigars, tats and sports... shes bangin too, there'll be a pic of her too in here. Well thats about it lets get to the initial parts list!
