*AceInHole* · 10-18-2006, 08:10 AM

Some of you might remember me. Betting most wont. Here's a small progress update:

I've been rebuilding my S14 every now and then, and have gotten it up to a driveable state. Early comp test showed 80psi in the #1 cylinder, but since it wasn't smoking I figured I'd drive it around anyways to flog some kinks out while waiting for my built motor to get rebuilt. Lately I've been getting "braver" and did a few 10psi tests. Car is puffing every now and then but not really blowing oil out, so I'm betting my rings are decent.

Some specs for those that don't know:
D2 coilovers: 9kg/ 7kg springs
Whiteline sways
Lots of lateral bars
18x10 Motegi Touge wheels, 285/30/R18 Kumho V710 tires (x4)

KA24DE engine
GT28RS turbo (on the "original" T25 flange KA manifold)
Bunch of one-off custom crap

Next to the DD:

Wheel fitment:

Looking good. I actually have the same 2 cars as you. G35c DG as a daily and a S14 fun/track car.

Good taste....

S14 KA-T setups and the hacked-MAF stuff we were both working on a few years back...

And we recently bought a "Diamond Graphite" G35 coupe for my wife, looks just like your daily driver:

Anyway, stick around and keep us up to date with the S14 progress.

nice sig mike.

they're heavy and cheap, but big enough to fit a mediocre tire. can't wait to get some 18x12's and 18x14's and run some real tires. Actually just passed up a great deal on some CCW's due to shelling out for an Endurance Karting event (was fun as hell though).

hey g35 owners, how about one of you pickup the damn 19" gunmetal TE37's im selling in the classifieds.. come on, perfect for a g35 coupe. :-)

then, you can dump some more into the new `06 headlamps I just finished for the coupe... COME ON, SPEND MONEY! :-)

Sell your home, buy wheels and some clearcorners products. haha
