I went to DMAX today and Koji was nice enough to sell me some coilovers!

The car is gonna be on the ground.

It finally seems like things are coming together with the engine.

I went and picked up the block today and the pits are gone from the overheating.

Bad thing is that it needed to be decked a little over .5mm to get it smooth again.

I had already bought a headgasket (1.1mm) which is now too small to use, thankfully I called FRSport (I HIGHLY recommend these guys for anyone looking to buy parts in SoCal area) and they said bring it in and exchange it for a thicker one.

I just brought my crankshaft, rods, and pistons back to the same machine shop today and they are getting balanced which should be pretty cool once it’s all back together.

Here’s my 100th post, gonna update my header.

How thick the stock S13 SR20 head is?

The fsm is missing it, please let me know if you know.

Back in the day, this car was so awesome.

And it also saved my life which made it way cooler.

I have come to the realization that my car will never run.

I have given up working on it, it’s so pointless.

I seriously should’ve just bought a Q45 when I blew up the engine.

Yeahhh.

Also matching tail lights make my car 10 billion times better/cooler.

I put the wheels on.

It looks pretty dope.

Also fixed my tail light fitment from when Karl Wasabi was like “Hey your car is too nice, let me fix that for you.”

Gonna get some stuff from Bernard from DMAX at formula D tomorrow LEGIT!!

That is all.

The engine is at the machine shop as of 1:45pm 10/15/2009.

Bad news is that the previous owner didn’t tell me he overheated it pretty badly and the head was kinda damaged and needs to be welded but whatever.

The guy said I should have it back by next tuesday!

LETS GOOOOOOO.

Looks like a got damn parts storage right now.

Good news is that I got all my parts that I needed.

It’s going to the machine shop a whole month and week after I first said it was.
