Really nice work Jim, its really cool that you took the time to stitch weld the chassis- Are you going turbo still? If so I would recommend not skimping on the tuning, get a Jimwolftech ecu or aem My last 240 I had a t3 on the KA24de, and it spooled up good and had tons of torque on just 6psi But it would be pretty cool to do a nice n/a KA, since they now make 272 cams My first 240 with the '91 KA24DE was up to 160whp without cams just I/H/E, head ported, electric fan. My point being that 170whp would make a fun track motor ---

My point being that 170whp would make a fun track motor Yeah I did like the idea of the KAT but I got a Running SR with all the basic upgrades plus coilovers, another car ect ect. for a grand more than I could build a 300whp KA for. * * * Ok so heres the deal, I stopped posting in this thread because I finally got it on the road about the first week of July, I did every track event during the summer until early september: ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/DSC02028.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/c/eca7e32f7023835667bc0e54cf25ecf787d81adb.jpeg) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/DSCF5557.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/6/46868fc3e6eff1873d3057991d443eaf5231b800.jpeg) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/DSCF5586.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/4/8473f95f501691346777d9be33406431b7ab38d8.jpeg) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/DSCF5605.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/c/fc08af3438e36e39b552f5b48db1bec33712652c.jpeg) Then I ended up going to Maryland to get this car: ![http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z25/laxman19/IMG_1399.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/6/66380a2d8cbad56362c2d292b5eff54e073c65a4.jpeg) ![http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z25/laxman19/IMG_1402.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/c/1c740a6c0267811b0fa7f1e13626181a0eb0838d.jpeg) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/2893702791_9b43ed2a68_b.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/e/6ef6e8333c5378294b97a5dc46f2a444d6565073.jpeg) I was Really in love with the power of this car, plus the lsd and coilovers. The wheels (work emotion CR KAI) have also been my dream for years. I took it to a track day in october: ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/picture018.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/9/a9f8d50cb659ca5fd0af4b731358a450440a79c0.jpeg) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/2893703937_2229fdeecc_b-1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/4/3437c9c3ddaf3043e3387758c4daa1f68a041ea6.jpeg) Okay so a few minutes after this pic was taken I was coming around the 3rd? turn at dunville and I hit the brakes and nothing happened. The pedal felt normal the whole time? (later I found out it had shitty old dirty fluid, should have checked! :meh:) I ended up crashing into a huge pile of dirt/grass clumps at like 30MPH. Luckily it was only grass and dirt and it was loosly packed, the only damage was a cracked front bumper and a fucked alignment. ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/picture054.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/9/79a8b9fe4160bf2122a1c22aebd224273060b22b.jpeg) Arcticzap dave being a champ and helping me inspect for damage^^ ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/picture118.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/5/b54b71cbd6db4756e86dda05aee6f0b72056c109.jpeg) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/2898541653_ac4f1bc8dc_b.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/a/5ae4c4f4a6f5539fe167adbd8d53ef0f77b02f2a.jpeg) I ended up taking it back out for a few easy laps until I came back in because it didnt feel quite right. So that was last season. The reason I bought the black car was to take all the good shit (sr, wheels, 5 lug, z brakes, coilovers, 2 way, chuki bumper, ect ect) and put it on my red/black car to have one ultimate beast and then swap all the lesser parts on to the black one to end up with a nice DD as well. Since the end of the year I have swapped: Coilovers, toe links, seats, and a few other things. after that school has kicked my ass and both cars went into storage in seperate places making swapping parts virtually impossible. I have a hard semester that just started today so Im not sure If I will be able to have this finished by a reasonable time in summer. So thats the goal mechanically. cosmetically I havent decieded to stick with the pop ups or go with s13 silvia bricks. looking to model a little bit after either of these cars ( although mine will be red) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/IMG_2008-vi.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/a/ea85efa3462f955897414b647682c7d29513af44.jpeg) ![http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/jim1234664/new1mb2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/a/ca093a5091a76fe9db316b9693944fb22300e49e.jpeg) either way though this will come last as I have always had a car that is function\>\>\>\>\>form So in the next couple of days I hope to have current pics of both cars and then I will update when things get a little warmer and I can actually start working on the cars. **Most of the photos are credited to IANK but there may be some by others** ---
