My Project SR 56K BEWARE!!

[Sileighty_85]

Took the S13 home to put in storage during my Leave of the US for 4 years ^o^




Hopefully will have one more drift day down south before she hibernates.

[fallen_51]

[Sileighty_85]

[fallen_51]

ahhh lucky !! i hope the army sends me to the west coast or overseas.. ive been on the east coast too long !!!

[Sileighty_85]

Sort of an Update... Im just so excited about this.

I Love Upgarage sooooo much. Picked up these Bricks for a steal, and they look almost brand new. No way these have been on a car for 20 years

No Broken Tabs or Bolts and NO chipping or flaking of the reflectors

[Sileighty_85]

So ill be heading back to the states for a month next month and get to see my babies again!!

Bought some presents for them haha

The ISIS fans arent up to par on my drift car so gonna swap it out for a the OEM clutch fan setup.

Bought a S13 SR fan shroud and clutch fan.

Shrouds at the house right now. just got in the SR clutch fan

hey smoke, its bloom

[Sileighty_85]

finally got to get behind the wheel of the S13. Forgot how quick this thing was.
Also had to remember how to drive a low car again haha









wanna get a different trunk (Mine is hole less) and mount the ARC wing.

Just set it on top of the truck.







I thought it would have looked taller.
Much like everything ive done lately Im on the wall with this wing.
But ill like the functionality of it.

[Mike VanGundy]

Love the s13 but the wing looks out of place much better with out it

[Roc777]

Just read the whole build from hatch to coupe and I got to say man sh*t is awesome! Cant wait to see what comes next dude

[Sileighty_85]

Been wanting a set of these for years as well was wanting a decent set of wheels for the S13. Think these will do.

LMGT-2's 17x8 front and 17x9 rear. Offset are a little weak at +36-38. But I can live with that with the help of some spacers or get them re-barreled later on.

But not bad for 60,000Yen

Cool car but ARC or not that wing is beyond gaudy. Ditch it along with the ARC R32 wing you have.

I agree this Wing does not exactly flow with it. I was hoping it was gonna sit alot taller or wider. Ill probably end up getting a D-MAX GT wing or something for it. Dont know yet.

My GTR wing though I do like for a few reasons. It bolts to the OEM location, its lighter then the OEM Wing and just as functional if not better than the OEM one.

[EnvisionMore]

Nice pick up on the wheels

[soundboy]

just saw the entire thing, really nice build.

[Sileighty_85]

Thanks guys!

Got her uncovered and looked over, fires up and runs like a champ.




Brake booster died 3 years ago so finally got that replaced


Pretty upset about this but while sitting my year old new windshield got smashed by a tree limb...



And to top it off the shop I had install new glass back them must have gouged the shit outta the paint cuz rust bubbles have shown up now....

Hey, so despite all the rattle-can bullshit you had from this forum, Im curious to know how you paint all your stuff so well?

Also, that brake booster job, how difficult was it with the BMC in the way? Im thinking of doing mine but just wanna make sure I know what Im getting myself into. How did your brake pedal feel with that busted booster?

Are referring to the whole car rattle can job or just my bits and pieces? If it was the car, the pics did way too much justice haha. my bits and pieces I just sanded, primered and painted.

Booster was not bad to remove with the master cylinder lines connected. Hardest part was removing and installing the clevice pin for the pedal.

Once everything was disconnected you just need to fish it out.

If your booster is bad you brake pedal will be stiff as hell

[jbt_92]

I know it's off topic, but how's the corolla? It's hard to believe this was 4 years ago already lol

[Sileighty_85]

Corolla is still operational. I haven't had a chance to look it over just yet since its stored else where. It runs but it's dirty as hell
