WC's never ending s13 project

[S13Joe]

I've been watching this build for a while now, i don't think i've ever posted anything in here though.

Well, it looks like its coming together very nicely. If you dont mind me asking, what kind of camera are you using? That wiring looked amazing too.

[White Comet]

thank you, uhh lets see the camera is an old sony 4.1mp cyber shot. i bought it off of a guy i used to work with for $40. its not very good, but i also don't care getting it dirty when working on stuff. when its time for glam shots, my mom has a nice camera

[idahotuner]

dang. i can wait tell i get my car clean on the inside like yours. sound deadening and PS make it more user friendly

[White Comet]

heck yeah. i drove the last one without door panels and a few other pieces and i drove it without ps for like 2 months. not fun at all this one will have complete interior, back seats and everything.

[hbpignosePA]

yo if u wanna borrow my stock RUCAS till you order some id lend em to you.

my shell is gonna be about a month anyways, and i will have my new arms by then.

[White Comet]

i appreciate it, no thanks. i'm ordering my rad at the same time as the rucas, so i may as well just hold off, since i can't drive it without a rad anyways

[hbpignosePA]

its all good, ive realized how much school stuff crept up on me, so i probably wont be able to work on mine till mid next week. im soo ready for summer

[White Comet]

yeah i hear ya, my build will start to slow down since i'm trying to work more

i have a small update coming soon

[idahotuner]

every one is being big spenders today. i have just ran out of money all ready lol. fora while at least.

[White Comet]

dude wtf, my new photobucket account has exceeded its bandwifth. i'll fix the pics after work

[idahotuner]

just admit it photobucket hates you

[White Comet]

i'll fix the pics later, but i have to be at work in less then 5 hours

[mRodiek]

Hey WC did you use thread locker on both sides of the studs for the turbo-> manifold? I already seated the studs but I didnt put threadlocker on that side....but I will use it on the side w/ the nut, you think Ill be ok?

[White Comet]

i used it on both sides and i used lock washers. i'm sure you'll be fine

[mrgreeneyes]

he didnt threadlock any of it cus "it will never work loose, i really cranked em down"

threadlock yours. dont be silly

[mRodiek]

Kthanks Ill use thread locker & the lock washers I got with my manifold.

[Logan76]

I would use the red loctite, the green stuff is good too, but its mainly for large gap applications, like a sleeve with too much clearance. Also look into copper lock nuts.

[White Comet]

he didnt threadlock any of it cus "it will never work loose, i really cranked em down"

threadlock yours. dont be silly

whos this in reference to?

[mrgreeneyes]

whos this in reference to?

[White Comet]

lol nah i def used a threadlocker. 2 actually. i used some teal colored, gel like consistency stuff and then loctite. and this 2nd time around i used lock washers too. the part about "cranking em down" was me hoping i tightened it sufficiently since there's limited room.

as for the front subframe, just let me know when it works for you and even if i'm not around, you can go over and help yourself to it. i'm working open to close recently so my free time is limited

[Logan76]

when's the next update? We want to see this car on the road WC.

[White Comet]

next update won't be for a while. i worked 16 hours today and i'm going in open to close again tomorrow. i'm trying to make money like a mofo and buy the last parts i need to get it on the road

[idahotuner]

i wish i could get 16 hours in. i need 1500 dollars to pay for my standalone and wide band. so i can get my car on the road.

[White Comet]

yeah i can get hours like crazy. they normally send most people home if they're on overtime, but i get away with it. at the end of the summer i was working 70+ a week

[White Comet]

pics all fixed

[hbpignosePA]

yay!!

gotta get a time to come out to lanc for bushing help... and possibly look at the subframe mount

[mRodiek]

What I could do with 40hrs a week at my job...I woulda pay for you & mrgreeneyes to fly here and do my wiring for me lol

I bet you Ill get my engine in the bay first

[White Comet]

I bet you Ill get my engine in the bay first

pwned

[Stripes]

Hey wc, didn't you use maxima plugs or whatever for your motor? I'm wondering because I'm about to get another sr without a harness and I wanted to see which plugs will work.

[White Comet]

nope the maxima plugs were for the type x cluster, sorry
