WC's never ending s13 project

[OutToWinPAHC]

This has to be the largest build thread on here. It just never dies lol

[White Comet]

so true. i was gonna start a new thread for this new shell but i'm using a lot of the same parts with the same goals, so it gets the same thread.

[White Comet]

not a lot to update cuz i've been busy getting ready to move, but my p2m parts came in and i have more stuff painted that i need to take real pics of, but my camera has been misplaced in the packing. so for now this is all i have,i'll have more to come shortly, most of the move will be happening this weekend, so after that the progress will resume.

ps- the 25 is gone

[White Comet]

wanted to add these real quick. i went over and unbolted the manifold and lines from the turbo so it is now ready for delivery.

and heres a quick shot of the hot pipe and turbo elbow

well there will be no work on the car today, i'm moved in and have no way of getting over to my car since the wife has the mazda, so i'll be stranded here til she gets back and then its just time for me to go to work. i just got back from a nice walk since captain blue hen is within walking distance (woohoo). the work on the car will resume monday but it looks like it'll be pretty slow since i work a good bit. i will be at nicofest as well so no work on the car then either.

[White Comet]

i've been tryin to message your phone

thanks man

yeah sorry, i was out all day and rain + bald tires = not a good idea to be on my phone, and then by the time i got home it had slipped my mind. i should be available next friday morning

Why dont you take the FC out? lol

lol i wish, i'm getting really antsy not having it to mess around in. such a fun car.

i was all geared up to really get some work done today but mother nature had other plans. it poured all day, so i picked up keegan for a field trip to find the wiring items i still need, best buy didnt have everything in stock, but it wasnt a total loss, i just need a distro box now. we'll see how much work i get done in the rest of the week.

[mmaxeyjr]

would it be at all possible to get it before this friday coming up?? after 9?

[White Comet]

unfortunately, probably not. i have class all day tomorrow and thursday and work all day wednesday. if you want to pick up one quicker, hit up a junkyard. i know for a fact ez pull has driver side doors with the handles intact and it'd be like $5 or less

[hbpignosePA]

hey man, are you gonna at least go to carlise?

if u want a ride up let me know (well if you meet me in york)

i think tom might be done, and ill most definately be done bushings are in the freezer so i can put them in tommorow

[White Comet]

i'd love to ride with you if theres somewhere i can park the mazda3 when i meet you in york. are you going friday, saturday or both?

[hbpignosePA]

just saturday real early unfortunately i work at 5 sat now..... you could park infront of my house if u want. street parking but it would be fine

[White Comet]

sure thing, what time should i meet you up at your place?

[hbpignosePA]

umm i dont care really u know when the gates open? i didnt pre-register w carlise cuz i wasnt sure id be done, so i think i want to get there early to beat the rush

its ur call how early can you wake up

[White Comet]

lol i can get up as early as need be. let me see if i can find when the gates open and we can go from there

[cmoody2006]

Wow you've been busy lol I haven't checked back on your build in a min. Must say your makin a lot of progress on it! I sold my red hatch! But I'll find another one.... or have I already.... hmmm.... lol we'll see but I updated my build for once lol threw some pics of the vert on here! Check it out Got a bunch more parts to buy for it still but she's getting there slowly.

And I'm officially a moron for letting my gray 240 go!!! the title went through the wash on accident I know right what and idiot move on my part... Well I never had it switched over to my name I was going to the day it got thrown into the wash cuz it was in my jacket So I couldn't go file for a new title for it....

So after months of searching i finally tracked the chick down that owned it before me the other day.... Come to find out it was a Texas car and she had all the original paper work on it and had some sort of paper work that had Japanese writing and a signature in Japanese.... Also had a shipping box number that it was in when it was shipped over or at least thats what I understood from looking at it...

Not to mention the fact that it was a one owner car!!!!!! And that I got to meet her and shake her hand! Bout made me sick

It was sold 3 or 4 different times after she blew the motor in it and when I found it in a barn the title had still not been transferred out of her name! And at that point she hadn't seen the car in 6 years!

So not knowing any of this I sold the car with no title to kyle while we figured out what to do in the mean time.... And now I just feel like a moron! Worst mistake ever!!!

But I have a rust free vert from Missouri... So i guess its alright in the end or at least I try to convince myself its ok

[White Comet]

^ man you always have crazy stuff going on with your multiple 240s lol.

not much to update but i'm almost done with finals so i'll be able to put more time towards this. right now i'm just looking for a turbo, but heres a few pics for the time being.

picked up a rear trans seal but havent put it on yet

and these just came in today

i was sooo excited to get them in cuz of how cheap they were. i paid $45 shipped for the bumper lights, and when i opened the box i found jdm fender markers too!!!!!! so i got all that for only $45

as a bonus heres a shot of my lonely fc

[idahotuner]

man you gusy all get your big nissan meets and such i am over here lol . hanging with my buddies civics and srt , and talon. w/e

[White Comet]

^ hahaha that sucks that theres no other nissans around. oh and idaho, i will be using that turbo we talked about. i can make it work for stupid cheap.

[idahotuner]

really are you going to do a bottem mount or top mount

[White Comet]

top mount, and just to make it fun, i'm not going v band

[Idahos13]

So u are going top mount, and I am in Idaho too ha not very many 240's here it kinda blows all the people like hondas and such= lame ha. And by the way those bumper light are awesome!

[White Comet]

thanks im loving the lights too, i went out to try them on the car today and the plug right in thanks to the harness being sent along with it. so there was no wire splicing at all, just plug right in.

yes at this point i am planning to go topmount. but regardless my mind is made up on this turbo. i'm going to look at it tomorrow with cash in hand

[TroubleBound]

Darn whered you find them for $45 someone hit my poor 240 and broke my lights i figured i may as well replace with the jdm ones but enjuku wants 160 for just the half amber lights not the side markers to. Did you get a deal from someone you knew or is there somewhere i might find a deal like that? Nice car btw wish i worked on mine so often.

[White Comet]

let me find the link and post it up. i got no deal from anyone and just paid the listed price from the site. i don't think i was supposed to get the fender lights too, i just opened the box and that was a pleasant surprise. as soon as i find the link i'll post it.

[cmoody2006]

^ man you always have crazy stuff going on with your multiple 240s lol.

Yea you'll have that.... lol But Got everything all straightned out with kyle now. So I've got a bunch of parts just laying around that I need to get put on. My spare motor's down at the machine shop now getting bore 40 over I'll have more info on that once I take a bunch more pics.

And your always lucky why Can't I ever get extra parts that I didn't order

And the solution to not having any guys with 240's around is to buy all of the ones in your area Then they all come over needing parts

[Uberck]

white comet you are just like this dude i know. hes been building a supra for the past 2 years and still is only half done with his s*** every where and the car is still in a million pieces.
