ohh, sounds good, they cant be all that expensive. i got mine off of an R6 so they are 40mm, opposed to the 43mm off of an gsxr (which are optimal). but mine were free =D.

yea i will weigh the car as soon as possible after its done. the interior is COMPLETELY stripped of all panels, rear seats, unessesary wiring, and i even stripped it of other things such as the rear window wiper assembly and similar things, even the old paint off to bare metal before the primer, LOL. so this should be pretty close to as light as a S13 can get without replacing panels and windows with composite materials and lexan.

here is a site for ITBs

they are technically for the SR20DE but im sure it sould be easy to adapt them to run with a plenum on a SR20DET.

Keep up the nice work. I kind of liked the wheels when they were white more, but they still look damn good for a rattle can job.

UPDATE - 7/26/06

so i spent about the last 2 weeks on the crazy cuztom interior:

when i bought the car:

i got it to look like this:

Name:  IMG_0447.jpg
Views: 35
Size:  29.4 KB

then i primered it:

Name:  IMG_0460resized.jpg
Views: 37
Size:  21.5 KB
Name:  IMG_0455resized.jpg
Views: 36
Size:  20.5 KB
Name:  IMG_0456resized.jpg
Views: 36
Size:  21.7 KB

then the actual paint:

Name:  IMG_0472reized.jpg
Views: 36
Size:  44.8 KB
Name:  IMG_0473resized.jpg
Views: 37
Size:  43.3 KB
Name:  IMG_0474reized.jpg
Views: 35
Size:  37.1 KB
Name:  IMG_0475resized.jpg
Views: 35
Size:  47.9 KB

and while i was taking apart my motor to clean and replace some parts i find chunks of chain tensioner everywhere. so apparently the chain tensioner blew up, but it cant be too big of a deal. i will post another update when the engine is finally in the car or if something funny happens.
