So finally, I suppose I want to start my build thread on this forum. I already have one on club240.com under the username Yarou so if you're interested to see the 10 something pages of odd smalltalk and pics. Anyway, I spent about 2 weeks cleaning my garage to get ready for all of this and now that everything's pretty much ready, the CA should be out within the week. Other stuff will be done, noted, and I will do write ups as I go along. So here's the list of parts/plans for you all to see, let's hope I get to it soon I'll be adding stuff to the list as it comes along

-centerforce 2 clutch
-s13 megan coilovers
-2 f1spec seats
-addco sway

I think its time to make a couple trips to the junk yard... And where do you plan on getting addco sway bars from?

Ps - I like the pumpkin

Haha, yeah. Every time we go to the junkyard we walk around the entire yard to see what wheels all the cars have. We've found a lot of stuff, from these autobanhs to a set of enkei 92's 15x7+0. Just keep an eye out. Oh, and I think shox.com has addco sways.

Yeah, after spending too much time trolling forums, I find that california junkyards usually have what everyone is looking for. The import sections are usually enormous. If there's anything you need, just send me a PM and I could keep a look out when I go on my junk trips.

The diff is the turbo 4.11 ratio r200, it should be interesting. And the CA is going out soon! Just you wait, haha.

Yeah, shit went down today. The fenders were took forever to take off. First off, they have a load of bolts and clips. And second, in the pictures you will see a small bar thing that goes above the bumper. Now since the fender hasn't been taken off before, the paint on that piece was flush with the fender making it look like it was all one big piece. However it wasn't after much playing around, this thing and the end of the fender are fragile mind you, so it was pretty intense playing around with these things with a hammer and screwdriver. After a little playing around, I find that these things are horribly rusted to each other, so hard that I almost gave up because I didn't want to bend any of these things since the factory paint still looks good. But finally, my endeavor reaped it's rewards.

ziplock bags and magnet trays = advantage

Seriously, they can do anything.

My girlfriend also played a role, she wrote on my windows again

More to come soon.

looking good henrio.
let me know if you need any KA swap info. im kind of in the middle of mine right now too. (its being a pain in the ass)

asparagus · « **Reply #7 on:** 04:04:12 AM / 11-Jul-07 »

So I did a few things today, drained more fuids, took out a bunch of random stuff, radiator, spewed out all the R-12 refrigerant, disconnected a bunch of stuff including the driveshaft, and lazed around. Going at kind of a slow pace

I think it is funny for some reason that you guys are wearing faces masks like your s12 has some kind of disease or something...oh man, we dont want to catch the 20e virus!

Hahaha, I wore one while under the car draining the fluids and the other guys wanted to feel like doctors too.

Eternal! hows that KA going? what kind of problems have you run into?

asparagus · « **Reply #13 on:** 02:48:18 AM / 12-Jul-07 »

I didn't feel like going back to the engine bay today and I didn't do too much. I took out all of the interior today except the dash. More pics to whore

How bad my carpet was from all the coffee spilled from the previous owner and whatever else the hell that is. That blue bubbly thing is bubble gum stuck/melted into the carpet. And of course some of the goods the previous owner left behind for me
