Stoopid stuff ... painted the center grill gray and the hood logo satin black. Not real happy with the black logo - hehe, I wanted to remove it altogether, but dopey me found that unlike the rear decklid badging it has two holes into the hood. :mad: No biggie.

Hey man where'd you get your carpet? Is it new? Every one I find has the catalytic converter bump rubbing carpet away. Nice oem (replacement) floor mats too! Whererererr?

This thread is inspiring. I need to uncover mine from winter mode.

*Correction* i thought i blew my motor. apparently KA's have a beast mode sensor. f*** blew a radiator hose about a good 5 or 6 lights away from my house, said "fuggit" and drove it home cuz i was late for work (<-----dont do that). parked the s*** in my driveway and rode with my brother cuz i didnt even have time to pop my hood. came home and replaced the hose, added coolant, turned the key and it kicked over and said "let's see a b**** a** sr do that." :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

this happened in my old blazer with a 4.3L V6 on the freeway. hose blew and 10 seconds later the motor destroyed itself. first off how did it not grenade when i drove it? and how the eff is it fine? even my perma-CEL went away...im lost in the sauce at this point. anyone have an explanation for this s***.


oh and i got the fronts and rear seat for about $750 and an easy $500 worth of car audio s***. more like $700 but whatever. i needed to s*** can my S13 seats and i didnt want to go aftermarket and have to buy rails and belts and all that gay s***. found these and they were exactly what i wanted, bolt on sex.

Bolted down the battery box in the center of the trunk (relocated from side) and temporarily installed my Optima battery - I need to find a better ground location, and/or get a longer ground cable. Checked my fluids; oil is a bit nasty and needs a change - so that's coming up in the near future. Started her up great; let her idle a bit and then it started missing. So now I have to check over some vitals (spark plugs, fuel pressure/pump/filter, injectors, etc. :frown:

Already did. Got lucky I guess about 6 years ago my water pump decided to take a SR s*** on me. Was only about 3 blocks from my house. Got out turned the MBC boost down while radiator fluid was dripping out like a mofo. Turned the heater on. Temp didn't start creeping up till I hit my circle. Got enough speed to coast the car, shut it down halfway up the street. Coasted in the driveway. Replaced Water pump and was able to start the car without any problems. It was about 95 degrees out too. SR gods were on my side that day lol. ;)

Okay, pulled the plugs they look great; couldn't find my gap-gage which pissed me off :bang ; reinstalled plugs untouched based on good visual observation. Injectors all firing perfectly. Put 5 gallons of gas in and started car; very rough at first; kept her idling and she smoothed out nicely :bigthumb: ! Concluded that my gas gage is a bit off, thus the rough idle was due to low fuel :facepalm2 .

First attempt at video ... nevermind the speedo and tach (at idle) ... their both off and soon to be replaced.

Foamed the underside of my battery tray to reduce rattle and increase stability; going to cut the spare tire cover and trunk carpet around the box for a nice clean result. I'll post pics when through. Also, finally made a build thread. :clap:

Purchased a RB25 to S13 pre-made harness off of Wiring Specialties. After the small electrical fire I had on my modified harness I'm not taking any chances this time around.

Replaced the door panels with better ones from an SE. Had new switches also they work much better.

Replaced the non LSD with a J30 LSD with ABS sensor. Man will This thing hang the rear out now.

Going to use the ABS sensor to get the speedo to work. Have a digital dakota to use with it.

Next is the MAF swap and gauges. Boost, AF, Water Temp, Oil pressure and temp!

Installed new belts.... I changed belts to a 500K4 belt so that it was easier to install and allowed for more tension adjustment. I also took a few pics of the supercharged beast ;)
