</3er Gabe's S13 "i make Yuta proud by finally getting car"
 

discuss.

let me take you down
cause im going to strawberry fields
nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
strawberry fields forever

living is easy with eyes closed
misunderstanding all you see
its getting hard to be someone but it all works out
it doesnt matter much to me

gabe bought an s13 from a friend, we changed his oil, put in new studs, fixed his deck's grounds, fixed his fuel pump and gas gauge, and I let him borrow a set of wheels 2mesh2rewinds

Looks like it is pretty nice?

it is indeed VERY nice.

:ylsuper: I ****IN LOVE U GABE.:ylsuper:

im sorry you had to get an s13 :( hahaha, what happened to the fc?

the s13 thats what happened to the fc.

and you know what color i wanna see that s13 yuta.:smilie_thumbsup:

wow this is crazy. Brian said I'm the LA version of you. Seeing as how we both just got s13's from fc's, I'm scared now. GL though.

its alright. my pos isnt that impressive. just give it some time

sweet....love the wheel combo!

initial d steering wheel for sale, 20 dollars FIRM

Paint it purple, it would go well with Yuta's pink.

looks tight already. u lost one love and gained another. good luck brother. be careful not to be drawn to the pink side of the force. j/k.

haha. i already decided on Gabe's color.

painting this weekend.

mmm.

another spray bombed </3er hatch in the making.

good ****.

i'm feelin' the wheels.

Now i can not wait to see how the paint is going to look on this car.

well i suppose i should be updating this thread now.

the night of said pictures were taken, there was something moving around in the gas tank so we pulled out the fuel pump to check what was in the tank. turned out the brace inside the tank to keep gas from sway too much back and forth broke off which kinda tore the floater. we pulled it out and so forth. we also discovered that the filter at the end of the fuel pump broke off.

discoveries of that night were:

i have no A/C.
I have no sound deadening in the rear

cons:

the e-brake was ****ed up
the rear was primered but sh*tty crap crust f*ck all over the place.


yesterday:

we were able to scrounge a parts car.

Yuta:
recieved a new sub frame that was in great condition.
he attempted to pop out the bushings to install his new spl ones.

Henry:
got a new rear view mirror base cover
got top radiator braces

Matt:
great conditioned door panels, wheel well panels, rear speaker panels, center console

Me:
e-brake unit, fuel pump, and oem alpine deck. (has no cd player) but had the harness for the deck

Today:

i replaced my ebrake and works great. mine was a pos.
installed fuel pump and replaced all the bolts to it
fixed my front signals. the units were cut off and i had ricer blinkers. i dont anymore
replaced my hood latch (my secondary latch wasnt catching nor did the hood spring up when unlatched)

i found out i had frame damage but its not big because its pretty small.

as for the next 2 weeks plans. i have to re-prep the car. the previous owner did a sh*t of a job and i think i have to resand down to the original bondo because there are some sections with gloss under the primer.

i should be wire wheeling and cleaning the rear to be ready to paint it also

the guy with the mr2 is buying me spl steering rack bushings and cv boots for my birthday coming up. hopefully the bushings will dramatically correct my steer play.

thats all.

^^^ You did a lot in one night and found out a lot tooo.

good luck with the car man.

great progress....good work and good luck

sorry you had to get an S-Car

Yeah, if he made his fc dope it would have been the dream. But now we resort to s car, our expectations only go up.

Fc's are rediculously expensive. Even if you go cheap they will end up costing you more than a 240 would be to set up. The reason why I switched is just because a 240 is much more logical for someone who isnt ballin out of control to go drift in. Fc's are bad ass cars and I wouldnt mind getting another one some day but not now. I want seat time now, not a year from now.

very true indeed..



i wish i was balling out of control

grats gabe! aye since you dont have ac let me get that ac comp fuse in the fuse box if you got it :D

the fuse? umm im not sure if i have it but sure if i do

koo thanks lol

interior...is really cool, its soo close to the cage that it doesnt fit im pretty juiced

glad your happy, i wanted to interior jerk. lol




oh yeah.. i placed an order for spl steering rack bushings and cv boots. should come in next week.

can we sell ryan's MR-2 and buy S13 coilovers?

please?

i could sell his mr2 for 4 gs
lol

steering rack bushings and cv boots came in today

also, i took off the front bumper to sand down. so far, i have almost everything except for passanger quarter panel sanded down. i will be going over it soon with 320 grit and then painting the biotch

pics you ******

Man your doing **** to this car so fast. I wish I didnt have bills. I could have had my car running already lol.

^agreed. im in the poor house too for right now.

cv boots?? fwd?or those axle boots?? u dunt mean those tie rod boots?(bellows boots) do u?

haha sorry you're right matt..

btw they are labelled steering rack boots

so i was able to get Gabe a hell of a deal on some used D2 coilovers.

the first person to guess the right $$ amount will get a nude autographed photo of henry.

The photo is 11x8 and is autographed along my ****. (small signature)

i already guessed LOL
