Lil bit of an update...











Then drove it to work that night lol

No real reason for the 01 started as a joke but my friend bet me I wouldn't do it.... So Had to prove him wrong

spun a bearing









So I pulled the motor out had the crank polished and put fresh bearings back in it

and had it back in the car all in the same day!

Been driving it every day till it died on me.... I jumped my friends car and left the park - where my friend paul was @ and got 2 blocks away and it died on me Idk whats up with it yet It's getting fuel but not spark. Noticed that the wiring in the wheel well got chewed up from the car being lowered so I think that's my problem. I'll figure it out sooner or later tho.... Back to the ole trusty wagon for now

Thanks The bearings weren't hard to replace since the crank polished out with ease hard part was that I didn't have any help pullin the motor nor droppin it back in but I finally figured out why it died on me last week. The igniter chip or the coil went out. I swapped both out with my spare and it fired right up

Only bad thing now is since I'm running solid motor mounts the car shakes way more than any cam'd out v8 in town lol. The front end has some issues b/c whoever had the car before my dude kyle had it hit i'm guessing a parking curb and f***ed up the power brace under the radiator. I rigged it up to where it would hold in place till I got around to swapping the power brace out but What I neglected to notice was that the radiator was rubbing the radiator core support

Well after driving it for a while it eventually put a hole in the radiator! So I now need to find a way to fix it whether it be taking the radiator to a radiator shop or finding someone that can weld aluminum. It's not bad but its enough to where when you come to a stop it starts smokin light a freight train! I also Gave my interior a face lift today! I'm uploading pics of that right now I'll post them up in a min Looks frickin sick! Just wait! Goes well with the white on black look That I'm goin for

I got to tinkerin with my sig in photoshop and thats what I came up with... I'm gonna chang it up a lil bit But I love the pic it really show's how grass root's I am lol

I just wish I wouldn't have gotten rid of my red shell nor my gray one... But.... The show must go on right? So its time to spend all my time/money on one project till its complete. I'm not gonna buy anymore 240's till the time is right... Unless the price is right. I really need to sell this uncracked dash that's just sitting in my parts room.... It's taking up a lot of space! So pass the word on guy's It's in perfect condition!

I also need to figure out why my car won't idle right its buggin the crap outta me! It runs fine once you get goin but It won't idle for shrit! I've been thinkin and I need to look up the emission's removal and see if you have to pull out the butterfly valve in the intake manifold when you remove the emissions or not. B/c I have them looped back into the vacume on the intake manifold but I think thats my whole problem.... That and I'm using an automatic harness and the throttle body is different than an automatic... The 5 speed ka doesn't have a connector on the throttle body that the auto harness does... I'm thinkin that also might have somethin to do with it.... Not sure yet... If anyone can help me out there It would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Well vert's down for a little while.... It was pouring out and i hit a huge a** puddle on my way home and it spun me out and into a rail road crossing sign Been an eventful past couple days So the vert door went back on b/c it was still raining and it shattered the window out. No pics yet haven't had time to take them but The door is f***ed up bad. The rocker panel has a slight dent in it but nothing I can't fix.

Just pisses me off that I slid right into a 2 inch wide pole! And this happened the day after I did this....









I made a shift boot and reupholstered the sun visors as well but No pics of that yet....

Here's a pretty cool pic from the drift indy event I hit up. Went to the gas station down the road and up pulled an s14 next to me lol



I'm gonna be workin on the vert more today to get my door situation figured out... Gonna borrow my friend's angle grinder and cut the excess metal out of the vert door so the hatch back door panels fit.

Wow I haven't updated this in a min... well to catch you guy's up to speed... I still have the vert... Picked up a set of 17" rota attack's for it but it's about to get put to rest tho... I pulled the motor yet again and fixed my oil leak and found out that my core support spot welds were busted so I had to re-weld that shiz. I had no front end on the vert and 3 days till the drift indy round 3 event which i really wanted to make it to... So what did I do you ask?

I stayed up 3 days in a row putting it back together... I've got pics of this whole ordeal but my camera is in the vert and I just got off work not wanting to go back out to my car for it... SO....... I'll get around to posting those pics later

But I got it all put back together and made it to the drift indy event it was a blast and my car's even in the round 3 video about halfway through it

http://envmyz.com/auto/index.p...d=383

That was last weekend... Since then I've found a red s13 chuki hatch that i'm pickin up prob next week if everything goes well...

So I'll be parking the vert yet again to pull the motor and clean it top to bottom... And start mocking up a roll cage in it

So we'll see where things go from here... I'll post pics of the new one when I get it and pics of the vert later when I wake up

A friend of mine wrecked his coupe that he just painted! Messed it all up but with parts from the red hicas it's gonna live on!
