WeW (Weekend Warrior)



Niceeeeee

This past week/weekend we had a lot of progress on Alex's (Treefish) S13 hatch. Shawnshawn, Treefish, Dat, and me were all working on his 240 and got everything together in about 4 hours. We put on Stance GR+ coilovers and XXR wheels, slightly tucked fender wells and fitted. Also a type-x bumper with side valences fitted nicely on his car. Suspension needs adjustment, bumper needs paint, and vlsd needs to be installed. His brakes are like swiss cheese and have cracks in them and he will probably be replacing them soon.

starter died
As far as my car goes, nothing really happening other than my starter is chewed to hell so I have to source a new one. I've heard you can use the SOHC KA 5spd starter internals from the solenoid and replace the pieces/internals into the SR starter. If I can't find one this week I'll definitely attempt it, because it's not fun push starting a car...lol.

pull-a-part. j30 axles found.
We went to the junkyard, I found some 5-bolt J30 axles for my r32 diff., got every bolt off except the last one on the diff, some guys that were eyeing the diff the entire time, watching me struggle for 3 hours with some not so great tools eventually took it out, was hung up in the parking lot they saw me and told me they took the axles out for me, there are still nice people in the world. i also found some nice minty carpet for a whopping $8 at pull apart. I'll be cleaning up the interior and installing it soon. pic of that once it's pieced and fitted nicely :)

I took some random interior shots.
Peep the 80k low miles.
Enjoy.
