The last half year has been a lot of ups and downs. Wife and i bought a house, both got new cars, we moved and renovated the house, Covid hit both of us and so on... But we are back on track with this S13. I expect to have it driving for the summer 2023

Anyway. Lets fill up this thread with pictures!

Engine is back into the car.



Engine is making low compression on cylinder 4. Engine has to get out of the car



A quick picture underneath


Desided to remove the head only as i expected the valves to not seal properly.








Then i figured i might as well remove the engineblock as it makes installing it easier. Also because i figured i might as well check the pistonrings


And guess what, they were installed incorrect. Finally i see progress. Time to install everything again.


Also got new valve stem seals



And the engine was back in the car




After my wife bought a 2021 Model 3 Tesla, i wanted to exchange my Chevrolet Cruze from 2011. So i found a Mazda CX-5 2.2 Diesel from 2017 in Soul Red - the only right color for a Mazda.

Went to testdrive it and bought it the day after
