I know you do your own work, Z fever is just a nice place to go to buy the shiny stuff locally.

Cool stuff man.

[Flatline]

Man for all the S chassis stuff you've been doing I'm surprised I haven't seen you parked out front of Zfever a time or two.

Thats because i do my own work, through and through lol. And i haven't had to get a tune yet. but even then ill be looking at an enthalpy ROM tune anyway.


No truxarossa though. Found a cheap 96 shell in awesome shape so i picked it up and just got the engine in this morning. suspension is all move over and the car is almost ready to run.

So it looks like i have some bad news for this page....

Traded the Vert a couple weeks ago. The SR started whining from the front cover. To me it sounded like the oil pump so i parked it and worked on getting another. Found a friend with a whole long block just disassembled for less than a new pump would cost me so i went ahead a got it. Swapped the pump guts, put it back together (the whole front subframe and bottom of the engine had to come apart for that) and then it decided not to build any pressure.

Im pretty sure it just needs a good prime to get going but i really dont have the patience to fuck with it anymore. I found a local with an S14/Rb25det swapped that needed some love i could most assuredly provide so i jumped on it. Now im just working out those headaches slowly but they're all things im prepared to handle.

The car didn't have any wiring in it at all short of the wiring for the engine to run, was in a wreck so the front end was cut up and tube framed. Needs the body parts for the front and some welding done which im looking to get more practice with anyway. And i've already got most of the wiring wrapped up.

Ill probably post up a new thread for it once i get around to it. As expensive as s14 front parts seem to be, i might be looking to go 100% custom front. Never seen an accord front on an s14 before. Could be worth a shot.

nice. I'm always on the lookout for a good 240

Thanks. the saleen reps were dope but i only had 2. Killed it for me. Plus, its hard to slide whilst super low on 18"s

Same here, every year the states reminds you... hey your birthday's coming, now it's time to pay your driver's license. :$

Personaly, i really like how it looked with the saleen replica's on!

So some good news and bad news i suppose.

Ditched the sil front because it started to look terrible to me. it was just in shit shape but i guess i should have expected it from a $400 pieced together front. Sold it for $800 though.

Changing wheel set ups again but something much more simple this time so all i need are tires for that.

And my oil pump is going out so the car is parked for the moment. Need a fresh pump and some time and ill be good to go.

Also picked up a bigger turbo so hopefully soon enough ill have the rest of the set up i need to push a solid 300whp or so. Slow but steady progress. Unfortunately, my B-day is around the corner so the state of FL wants all my money so slower than id like.

Oh my Gawd! I love the silvia front end. I prefer that front over the "stock" front end but I love both.

More pictures mane! Also you're a lucky mofo for having a ruckus.

[Flatline]
