Lol some one at corp. decided we shouldn't have more powerful things.. I ask why we don't have s15 and turbo s13 and s14 or b series crx
|
it was actually a japanese idea that americans didnt like turbos so we got a lot of u.s. market only stuff during the late 80s and 90s.
|
thats a nice fc!
|
thats cool man
|
Americans during the 70s, 80s, and early 90s basically saw Japanese cars as stupid toy cars or econoboxes. Imports didn't really catch on as performance vehicles until the mid-late 90s. The N/A versions of the cars were cheaper and sold better because americans, for the most part, were to dumb to understand that a small displacement engine could keep with a larger displacement with some called a turbo that did witchcraft under the hood.
|
Damn your car.
I keep catching myself wanting to jock your style. And that's not cool. Lol Your car is awesome great work! |
Damn Mac, car just keeps looking better and better!
|
dang that girl is fine ...

Finally got some pics together of the 18s. I got a buddy of mine to take pics for me since I only have a camera phone at the moment.
XXR 527 -18x9.75 +20 all around -225/40/18 all around -Painted them w/ duplicolor white http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6136/...fe98c2f4_b.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/...b9ed145b_b.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6027/...305cda2e_b.jpg I also shimmed my diff and took pics of the process. Its just a matter of uploading pics and doing a little how to. I'll hopefully get that up soon for you guys that were asking for it. |
Thanks for all the comments guys, I got a little photoshoot today, so you'll see that up soon.
Damn, after looking at that pic made me realize how much I miss that setup! Haha oh wells. Nope no spacers were used. No room for spacers, except maybe for a 5mm in the front. But fitment was pretty much spot on with those wheels. |

This thread is full of win man! I really like those mb weapons

i love the S4 look it makes me more than happy to keep my vert S4, but the S5 is top notch aswell keep up the prestige lol, and good luck with your progression in drifting, trust me, speaking from experience, the power will help, it will give you alot more head room, but you will miss flooring it, my track car is a big ass turbo KA-T s13 but i still often miss my bone stock KA S14 (stolen :( ) i miss mashing the gas through the turn in 2nd, now it's like 1/2 throttle in 3rd and its mad loose lol, its good and bad i guess, i always loved giving a car hell and seeing how it responds( i think that is really how you see what a chassis is made of), i cant do that anymore :( but 3rd gears are a breeze now :). Its a Trade off and i guess its welcome but if i can shim the NA diff and slide it i will enjoy the low power once again!!

Did some freshening up to the motor this week.
Problems before: 1) Coolant leaking into intake due to lack of water jacket o-rings on intake manifold 2) Crack in oem radiator, eventually poured out while driving and temps shot up 3) Exhaust manifold gasket leak 4) Alternator wouldn't charge the battery until I revved the car to 6k 5) Leaky oil cooler lines Solutions: 1) Instead of going to mazdatrix and spending $10 on 2 o-rings. I went to Oreilys and spent $2.50 for a pack of 5, very happy. 2) My buddy did a rad swap on his s2000 so I figured I'd rock his stock one since he just gave it to me. I flipped the radiator over and clamped the hoses down on it. Over all the s2k rad is wider but the core is thinner, still keeps my car cool though and no leaks. Again I'm still happy. 3) Just replaced the manifold gasket. 4) Threw out the fd alternator, got me a ford taurus alt and wired it up. Charges at 14.3, no more revving the car up to charge. Very very happy at this point. 5) Came up on some brand new oil cooler lines for the fc at the junkyard, super steal! Finished product and ready for the weekend... Attachment 717067 Attachment 717068 Moved oil cooler to receive fresh air from my bumper cut out. (I'll be moving the coolant tank out of the way, just don't know where yet. Attachment 717069 S2000 rad fits like a glove in the fc. Attachment 717070 |
this thread just made my life.
