Looks awesome, my favorite body style. How much power are you planning to make?

If it ever does run, its most likely going to spin every bearing in the motor, drop every valve, and shoot a piston out the block, through the firewall, and straight through my skull..

The motor is pretty much cursed. So yea, its either going to blow up and kill me, or just get nasty for ever. Hopefully it gets nasty, but Im seriously doubting it.

But the setup is probably good for 300-320whp on that turbo running reasonable boost and pump gas. Its just a stock s14 t28.. I may throw a 2871r on it later down the road if it runs and doesnt blow up, which would probably make around 375whp.

Sounds like its going to be a fun car. Good luck with the motor.

So the car still isnt running, im towing it to my house so I can weld up some intercooler piping and some seat brackets.

Just bought a pair of recaro SRD's even though my car isnt running. Really good idea.

Ran my ebrake cables finally the other day. Tightened up all the coolant line fittings, put in my coilpack sub harness, and did a bunch of retarded stuff.

So hopefully my buddy is coming to finish wiring the car this weekend, if not, Im buying a cake because next weekend will be the 1 year anniversary of the car not running, and I'll probably eat the whole thing, sitting in my car, wondering why the fuck its not running.

1 year not running?
Man, that's a long time.

Car still not running. lol.
Going on like a year and 2 months?

Ordered the last bit of stuff to finish my harness a while back, a greddy MSS to control my fans, and then pretty much didnt look at my car, and that was like 3 weeks ago.

Then I ended up modifying spindles for a buddy of mine to test out, and they turned out pretty sweet and his car gets pretty ridiculous angle.

Now a couple kids apparently want to buy them from me.

So I might be able to make a couple hundred bucks, and not be broke, and maybe finish my car before xmas. And have money to drive some events if it actually does get done.

Post up your spindles on http://www.ClubFR.net if you haven't done so already. There's plenty of S-chassis folks with money.

Yeah, havent posted anything yet.
Just made 3 sets and gave them to 3 buddies of mine so they can test em out.

We put them on the 1 car already and it seems to work pretty good, hes gunna drive an event this weekend and we'll see how they do.

Im gunna finish up the other 2 sets tomorrow and were gunna put em on another S13, and a S14 to test out at the event as well.

And I guess 2 kids with 13's want them.

So hopefully they work well at the event.
