can’t wait for an update.
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
Sorry man, planning on keeping both :), having a DD you can pull parts off for the summer car is >*
The only thing I lost interest in was this thread, check out the end of this post
I should be able to get current pics in a week or so
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:
Then I ended up going to Maryland to get this car:
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:
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.
Arcticzap dave being a champ and helping me inspect for damage^^
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)
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
good update. you must’ve shat yourself when brakes went away. glad nothing serious happened dude. keep us posted and good luck with the semester, i have a tough one right now as well.
