The long wait grows shorter.

The S13 is now getting new additions. With purchases of some brand new swagger for the car, this thing is going to be grade-A. The parts were hand picked with advice and knowledge given all around. I asked people for experiences, luck, their thoughts on quality, and regrets. So, I'm pretty happy with what I've ordered. It was all in leu of ordering them the first time and not doing anything half-assed. I am building the car around dominant parts for it's setup and hopefully I will be happy with the outcome. The order sheet consists of only brand new parts and is as followed:

PoweredByMax rear upper control arms
PoweredByMax rear toe rods
SARD 550cc side-feed injectors
Garrett S15 OEM ball bearing T28 turbo
STANCE reclocking kit
N62 mass airflow sensor
GReddy oil catch can
All new Earl lines and ANS fittings
All new OEM turbo lines, tubes, and gaskets

Chances of me forgetting a thing here and there are pretty high as I did pretty much look for parts for a straight week and narrow down what I was looking for. I have my eyes set on a BRIDE gradation seat with brackets and rails but haven't pulling the trigger on that as of yet. I hope to have all these parts soon and even snagged a new camera to take pictures of when she returns home. The day she arrives, I plan on going out to celebrate with wasting whatever set of tires are on her now.

We miss you, S13. Come home soon.

The updates roll in.

The days roll in and the pictures slowly make their way to me. Although I expected a plethora of them, I only received a smaller amount of my expectations. The results of the work put into the car right now actually are satisfying. The plans for the swap were a simple SR20DET swap with some new supporting modifications including front-mount intercooler, new piping, blow off valve, etc. Looks like I will be selling my 1992 240SX coupe to fund the build and make it more than I anticipated which makes me rather giddy.

More updates are coming. Hopefully I will be picking the car up in a week or so and then even more work begins - mostly the body work to get her painted white and I can slap the 5-lug swap on and mount the MB Battles. Anticipation mounts.
