Decent Daily S13 Build

[vdubkidd]

Took a hefty break from the car for a few months. Ended up going to work in Antarctica for about a month, that was such a crazy experience. While gone, I ordered an Ezo Ism rear valence and Shine auto skirts and bumper. I think in that time frame I replaced the Apexi gauges with Defis and finally put my new heater core in. The biggest purchase was 17x9.5 +12 TE37 SL, wasnt intending to run TE37 like ever just cause they are usually out of budget. But found a good deal. Also found some Craft Squares kind of local to me as well.

Kind of an update:

Been pretty idle on any mods or changes to the car as its been feeling very consistent and the weather has been too nice, so just spending time driving around town and events. Doing some parts collecting and selling some off. Looking to possibly move down further south to Houston end of year, so gotta prepare for that.

Got some cool pics from my homie Chico

Drove an event, been feeling very good with my driving as of late. These huge fireballs were happening almost every run, my timing was off about 10*. Inspected and fixed, car is running better than ever now.

Just went to an event called SlushFest, all the drivers left early for some reason. Got some laps in after the guy running it came and asked if we wanted to drive for a bit. Fun video of a lap in the rain

One day up and decided to get the car ready to be all one color. Seeing it in 4 different colors is pretty annoying. So started taking it all apart. I have no experience in body work so some stuff may not look the best, but the learning experience has been fun. Also in this time I acquired a red zeta 2 and brix 1.5, which im very excited for.

This hatch was actually ditched for a better wiperless hatch, not perfect but way better.

Had to do a mockup to see the vision, I wish I had better aero but this will do for now.

Yes I know the Brix is missing the trim piece. Already have one on order, downside of cheaper parts.

In the car, I love this seat setup so much.

I still have a long way to go, wishing I had a bigger space to work on this thing. The single car garage just cant get the job done for me. The eventual color is going to be a metallic black like my old S14.
