Its been done hello new project

She will need some tender love and care but thats what im here for. Love doing body work..(went to school for it) Overall the under body is in great shape. No swiss cheese....hurray The body has a little rust but nothing i motivated z person cant handle. The only concern is where the jack and tool kit goes...seems that water sat for awhile inside it and it rusted (flaked up) but I cant puch holes through it. Other then that its very solid. Im impressed. My original plan was to put a built vg in my s30. so my ae just acquired a new transplant. anyway guess its time for pics

i sooooo thought you meant a corrolla when you said trade for an AE in that other thread. lol.

this i guess isnt sooooo bad, other than being fat haha.


oh also, eagle are overated, you could get MUCH better rods for the same price. i'd vote manley perhaps...


oh and what kinda pistons?

I can kinda agree with snw, scat rods with ARP 2000 rod bolts, balanced and lightened are my preferred choice, just make you buy them through a non specialty sight, as most z car specialty stores mark up their prices alot for regular off the shelf products.

they are rsx seats, you can get that intake from a guy named satan. it requires you to send in your bottom runners and he fabs up up the top for 600+ bills. I had him put a defuser inside it and fitted for a 60mm tb. He truly does great work. Im very happy with his stuff.

How do I reach this magnificent Dr. Satan other than go to hell? 6 BIG bills huh? That's not bad at all! I wonder what the stats are when that animal is fired up. I like it for the fact it will minimize the piping for the intercooler when it gets installed. Also is your TB, the 60mm tb, from the KA24 i think it is from the early 90's version of the 240sx?

i here very good things about stance. and they are made here in chi-town! actually i think assembled in china, but still, the stance/touge factory evo just broke the track record here at autobahn during redline time attack by 4 seconds! i am thinking about stance for the S2K.
