winter projects - lets hear em!
Damn right, your a good man Tripp
I'd say late 2000, early 2001 is when the honda heads became Nissan fans. I was into Silvias around 1998 when I saw the first ever SR powered S14 (in CA) smoke an NSX at Sac Race Way. That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then my cousin kept telling me to buy the 240Z... Now I know why

step 1: order manual tranny xmember
step 2: go pick up a tranny dust shield and a radiator
step 3: wait for my valve cover, flywheel, clutch, and shifter to get in
step 4: put said items on my ka24de, which is completely stripped of anything emissions related.
step 5: tranny +engine.
step 6: engine tranny + car
step 7: simplify the wiring to just the basics, do a wire tuck
step 8: start the car...?? hopefully?
step 9: get used to going from a heavy auto s14 fully loaded to a much lighter coop basemodel with no extras, manual tranny, and no belt driven extras (thats right, no power steering. )
step 10: dont crash.
thats my winter plan

My goal is to save money during winter to throw in coilovers and work on my transmission(punishment for teach friends and girlfriend how to drive stick.) I found it pathetic how my girlfriend can drive stick better than my friends, lol. The summer is when I'm going to work on power, that is if I think that I am ready for more power/learn about cars more.
[EDIT]
^^ Thats a plus for trying not to crash. I'm more worried about other drivings crashing into me instead of me slipping out. My god, you guys should try driving on Long Island.

whoa whoa whoa, no one said anything about crushing cars. I'm still keeping it. I COULD sell it and be that much closer to buying a nice 14, but it just wouldn't feel right giving it up. not yet anyway. maybe one day it'll be up on the FS section.
