so what did you do with the 2 piece wheels you had before?? you promised me you would sell me those!!!! iam telling mom!!!

ls2, likely with l76 intake and l92 heads. gotta do more research but 500-600 hp n/a seems like a lot of fun to me. or supercharge for 700 plus and only 10psi boost. either way shits gonna be awesome.

back on topic, i believe we were on wheels. Jim, i have to apologize but im pretty sure i traded the 2 piecers to my roommate now for a new shell and a ton of fab work. however, when he gets rid of them when we both go v8 i'll make sure you get them. and they'll be 100x sicker by then!

yes jim, a new, much cleaner, s13 shell. mines pretty mangled which was ok when it was just a drift-slut rb build. now that i have much bigger plans for it, i want a minty shell..which just so happened to be sitting in my driveway..and is now mine

So been a while. been focusing on getting a worthwile daily. after 2 duds(including a rhd suby leggy wagon). finally got something reliable. now time to take the rb off manditory daily duty.

so after the cyl compression test and 30k miles since my swap was complete. it's time for old reliable to get a rebuild this summer. But first i have to iron out some issues. notably with the boost..

so my turbo started leaking. didn't do a rebuild before i installed it because i didn't need one then. it needs one now. luckily my good friend and hx turbo guru austin had a hx30w kit.

But first, the fun stuff of getting it off. which with a 17mm cresent wrench makes life simpler.
