Ok so i have went a little MIA from the forums cause i just had no time to come back on here and post..so im back and a lot has happened..

I sold my black caged s13 that i was working on because it was a money pit and bought a completely stock s13..Decided that i wanted to get back to my roots and have fun with all of this again...So seeing as how i miss my old rb20 sil80 i decide to bring her kinda back from the grave..

so most of the old school people on here know me as RBtony because of these two cars:

Every since i got rid of the 2.0 i was never really happy. I mean yea the s14 SR was good to me but what can i say im A RB GUY lol...So any way lets fast forward about a month ago i got this little gem:

This car was completely stock, Interior was mint just wasnt a fan of the single cam. The orignal plan was to just drive this car around and not do to much but yea that changed reall quick:

First had to fix the front end:

Then it was time to 5 speed swap it:

Then it was time for coils and make my new exhaust:

Then onto the interior:

After that all was said and done i did solid subframe bushings, new rack, rack bushings, new brakes and 5 lug swap...after all that it was time for the alignment:

I can't keep up with what car you have. Do you still have those sick wheels from the coupe? I love those.

ok so let me update you guys a little bit....

well this red hatch i have is just to clean for me to tear into and i also like the fact that everything works on this car even the a/c. So i went searching around and pulled some favors and heres what i came up with:

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h253/jdmkoukis14/IMG951058.jpg

it is a 1996 zenki, this car is super super clean, i can eat off the under carriage..the only part i dont like about this car is that the rear quarter is a little smashed up but thats nothing some rear over fenders cant fix..this car will be the new race car for this year..

stay tuned steve will be updating this very shortly!
