ive been on here for a while and pretty much know every one (not everysingle person) but u get the point .

i was wondering how long has everyone had their ca motorset?

what have you done since you got it?

are your resourses for the parts easier to obtain than before?

post a pic of your set up?

why dont we also have an hotmail ca owners list as buddies ?

(i think i may get flamed )

"had" my motor since feb 07 on the road mid march 07

s13 with:CA18DETCA18DET 5speed transcomplete custom IC piping(including cutting an Injen intake to use for some of the piping because they decided it wasnt important to send)HKS Hi-power Cat backEnjuku Test pipeGreddy Down pipeProject Silvia Hot pipeEnjuku intakeHi-throttle pulleyStop tech 10in slotted rotorsPosi quite pads15x7 wheels with custom paint job(I painted them and worked out awesome for a first time)Falken tires 205 15s1G DSM Drop in resistorCustom wiring harness (they sent me an auto SR wiring harness)DMC 3 piece Defuser plate

FUN STUFFSmoked turning signalsJDM 180sx tail lightsCF mirrors (broke the stock ones)Jensen HUPioneer door speakersKicker 10in sub in custom Kicker ported box250watt kicker 4 channel Amp Xenon Lip

few older pics



can check my myspace for more pics

PS if it wasnt for Sean and some of the other guys on here I never would have been able to get my car running. It is wonderful that when they sent me a "complete" motor that IC piping, ECU, wiring harness, drop in resistor, Intake piping, and fuctional coils were over looked

PPS you were right sean the accordian rubber adapter thing totally sucked and Ive since replaced it with more MazWorx silicon piping.

(Flame it is) We have been down this road before and it just seems like repetition over and over and over again. If the original threadstarter wants to see these type of threads, you're going to have to dig for the info. I know some of you are proud of your cars and love to show them off to others, but some of you vets need to encourage threadstarters to dig for the information they seek or you guys will just be posting pics of your cars over and over and over again. If you all like repetitiveness that's fine, but it's time to see this forum flourish with new attitudes and new business instead of the old business discussed in the past.

I was just kidding with the flame stuff, but serious about what I said. I wish we had a nice show and tell section for you guys' cars, but I guess it'll have to do. And BTW, that S12 is a car as I've said before. The 80s cars rock .
