i'm not exactly sure. see, i just started a new job at H&R Block, and i just got my first pay check yesterday (yes, it was real good ) but i have to pay some bills. i have to get my fuel stuff together, so maybe if the mommy or daddy lend a helping hand (which i really doubt, since this car has accumulated 3/4th's if not ALL of my life, and they think even 25 dollars is a waste of money for a car that doesn't even run) i can get it up as soon as maybe this coming week. the wiring is a bitch, im not even going to mess with that stuff, i'm already talking to someone about it, im pretty sure they are going to do it (Aram over at www.norcal-ls1.com ).

also, the weather here has been a BIG factor in this procrastination. in the morning it's sunny, then out of the blue, showers....i hate salinas weather, some f'd up ****. but other than that, i think i got this thing in the bag (i hope)!! i'll try to get my wiring done next week and also order my fuel necessities.

i'll keep you guys posted, oh yeah..the granny kit is awesome. half the price and just as good (although you have to modify your damn hood!! no biggie lol)

 

Good luck and keep the pictures posted. If you need any help on the wirirng just shoot me an e-mail. I also have an extra fuel line with Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator and pressure gauge. Let me know if your interested I can e mail you some pics. The system is brand new.

 

I'm envious. Can't wait to see when it's done. I'm looking at picking up a 93 R1 w/ a salvage title(clean though) and if I do get it(odds are really good since the guy who has it, I've bought my Corolla GT-S and my SR swap for my S13 from him), I expect to replace the rotary with an LS1 once the rotary goes.

 

You are making some headway. Keep your nose to the grindstone and before you know it that will be running.

I'm curious how the hood fitment works out.

If you need to set the engine a little lower you could always shim/spacer the Kmember lower with some metal at all 4 mounting points on the frame.

Give me your REW.

Good work yo.

 

hey man, i never thought about that! this hood wont fit (i really really want it!!!), oh no it won't. i was wondering though, if i do put the spacers and make it sit lower, i would also have to fab up some other spacers, correct? for these mounts circled in the picture -



also notice the steering rack how it goes through the subframe, any suggestions on how to get passed that? i'm really interested in your idea Mark. let me know if something comes to mind! thanks!

tee hee how much you got niggy! lol thanks man!

 

looking good!! are you planning on getting it reff'ed??

 

hehehe

 

could you post pics of the shifter with all the interior put back together? It looks like the shifter is from a rally car sitting right accross from the steering wheel. lol

 

that'll be replaced with a pro 5.0

 

Thats the steering rack homo.

 

weather sucks

 

You got that right. I'm in the middle of swapping an SR20 in my S13.

 

 

i want one too..you have a coupe or a hatch?

 

1990 Coupe w/ Silvia conversion.

Nice, I love coupes.

 

Well I use to have a red 90' hatch but got tired of the lines. Also have the same problem with my 95 after a year and a half and that's why i'm looking for an FD. Have one scoped out I might pick up for 9. We'll see though. I've been going through vehicles like women go through tampons.

Almost.

 

LoL Wow, as much as roger goes through tampons.

 

same, i dont know wassup with the hype with 240 hatches
they dont even look good and are common as hell

 

Specially hate those fast back w/ the S15 front end. Looks unporportional.

 

u mean the silvia front ends?
i think even s3 silvias front ends look whack on 13 hatches

 

Actually I like the Silvia and S15 front ends on hatchbacks. If you do the body work right, it comes out looking factory stock. It's just I like the coupes better w/ an S13 Silvia front end.

 

ewww

 

what are you droping that in
