Some of you may know, I picked up an S13 a few weeks ago as a project. I still don't have a decent daily but... you know... priorities. lol

91 240SX Base.

Came with a few simple mechanical mods in addition to some ricey interior bits:
welded on muffler
AEM intake
Kazera wheels

I got it mainly because it was almost completely rust free, low miles, ran well and wasn't modded to oblivion.

I have since replaced the old and mismatched spark plugs with NGK Iridiums

Replaced the 25 year old fuel filter with a new K&N one

I've also reset the ECU since it was throwing a CEL for no reason (hasn't come back) and replaced some burnt out fuses for various unimportant bits and got new wipers!

Right now its in the shop getting the AC repaired since everything related to the AC was not working... its expensive but will be worth it because Florida is HOT!

I have new brake pads and rotors on the way since the current brakes feel very heavy and make a bit of noise/pulse when you slow down.

Hawk HPS and EBC Rotors. Got in some of the pads today.

I also ordered a new shift knob since the cheap ricey one (has markings for a 6 speed on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) that the P/O had on it literally came unglued in the Florida heat. I ordered a TWM Phantom. Expensive, but I've heard good things.

My goal is to get this thing in tip-top shape and then start modding it from there. Or mod it as I replace things that need to be replacing anyways. End goal is to boost the KA and when/if I blow it, decide if I want to swap anything else.

Next item on the list once I finish with everything I've ordered is to replace the power steering and water pump belt and order some coil-overs and get an alignment. I'm looking at BC Racing BR with the Swift spring upgrade. I'll probably order them soon.

I'll probably keep this fairly updated as I don't think I'll keep a build thread open anywhere else. I don't think anyone cares to see another S-chassis build. lol
