300 miles into the new clutch and it is easing in nicely. The chatter is down significantly and driving it is getting easier everyday. Reverse is still a little tough and I usually have to Honda rev it, but it is what it is. Another 250 miles to go before I feel comfortable getting on it a little bit.

Also, should be picking up a set of Z33 5 spoke wheels soon. Will make a fine set of summer wheels until I get my Works.

Picked up a bone stock 1990 S13 hatch. 90k miles, no rust, drives good, looks good. Don't know if I am going to keep it or sell it. Only pic of it I have so far.

You'll drive it for a bit then sell it. Your not an s13 person. While you have it might as well drive it to ECB

I most likely will. Too nice to sell honestly. Just needs a few odds and ends, a tune up, some new wheels and tires, steering wheel, and a drop.

Nope got it from a private seller in NJ, wasn't on CL. I plan on swapping it with a Z engine, but not a V-series Z engine ;).

New Pic from last night.


Just bought a new steering wheel (stock one is a mess). Grabbed a cheapy Grant wheel for now.
Also bought a Kenwood head unit and 4 new Kenwood speakers.

Going to give it a tune up this week too, and check the tie rods and suspension out. The car shakes at around 55mph.

S13 update:
Installed the following:
New Kenwood head unit and rear speakers (still need to do the front)
New Plugs and wires
New cap and rotor
New fuel and air filter
Changed the oil
New wheels and tires in the back (1978 280Z stock mags with new Fusion tires)

Front wheels and tires should be on tomorrow. The shaking at 55mph is much better now after some new tires.

Going to order some new front turn signals, and Circuit Sports inner and outer tie rods this week.

Eww, those wheels in that pic, have GOT to go. Almost remind me of the Ford Probe swirls, just worse.

Nice car though, I'm sure it is not easy to find those bone stock & clean.

Thanks. Yea finding a non rusty stock S13 isn't easy. Don't get me wrong it has its problems but for the most part it drives really good. Need to get rid of the body roll the car has but it still runs really good.

Way ahead of you lol. Yea those ugly ass wheels are off and getting scrapped. I am going old school with this car so I had to put some old wheels on it. MY old 1978 280Z wheels are on it now. The car has loads of wheel gap but I'll lower it eventually, and the price I got on tires for these wheels couldn't be passed up.

S13 Update:

New Kenwood speakers installed all around.
New Front turn signals installed.
New Tanabe front Strut bar should be delivered today, will install after work.
Circuit Sports Stage 2 inner/outer tie rod combo ordered, but won't be in for a while. They seem to be on back order.
New Grant Steering wheel installed.

Going to fix/clean a few things after work today. Maybe power wash the wheels. They have 35 years of dirt and grime caked on them. I need to take out the pass side tail light and reseal it since water is getting in it.

Next things to be ordered:
Frame Rail gussets
More suspension goodies (coilovers if I can find them for a good price)
Headlight conversions and HIDs

Going to stay away from any power mods since I don't plan on keeping the KA in it, so there is no point buying KA parts. Going to concentrate on getting the suspension to where I want it.

Thanks. I wouldn't say mint, body has dents and dings and the paint job sucks, but as far as rust goes, it is as clean as they come.

Ordered a Front and Rear ST Suspension Sway Bar.

Still waiting for my circuit sports tie rods.

Next on the list:

Circuit Sport Street coilovers. Most likely at the end of July.
