ka24e transaxle

lvDaveI hope you're not putting a transaxle in there lol.  Other than that looks cool.  Single cam KA's are sexy looking motors.

asparagusThink he means front end of the driveshaft?    Frank did you drill the rotors to 4 lug yourself?

I hope you have manifold wrap and a blanket made for the brake master cylinder/brake booster to prevent it from melting. Otherwise everything looks good so far!

i decided to use a gtr intercooler ... HUGEEEEE

This looks like quite a build you are doing.

Your interior looks strinkingly similar to mine, with the aftermarket tach jammed under the dash cowl, the 3 gauges hanging out in their pods on top, the steering wheel, and a piece of aluminium with switches mounted in it to replace the stereo.

I wish you luck navigating your IC piping around those pop-ups and still fitting it behind the rebar. All I can say is... MORE PICS!

looks nice so far. any more pics of the engine

updates :

stripped the spare KA block (i have one that im putting in the car and one that im building with stronger internals)

removed the all the extra stuff on the subframe to get it sandblasted/painted and make custom bushings for the arms and started sketching the SS manifold

on the last picture you can see my friends sr20det s13 convertible and my cousins s13 hatch that i will be building as soon as he pays me  

more updates tomorrow i'll try to fix the floor and clean/paint the interior !

im digging the garage, you have alot going on. this is a project ill be watching, keep it up

julieim digging the garage, you have alot going on. this is a project ill be watching, keep it up

i got a 3 car garage thats on the other side of my property, so i have to walk a bit to do any car related work. luckly, i park infront of my house most of the time. right now i got the s12 in one bay - all taken apart, my audi under a cover in the 2nd bay till i find a buyer, and the 3rd one is empty and usually used for working and some storage. right now theres a gokart in there, a sportbike i dont own, and 2 dodge v8s im  storing for a friend. last time i used the bay was when i installed the exhaust on my truck and had it all laid out on the floor. ill be out there more in the summer, but right now its way too cold

went to work on the car today ... finished stripping the interior ... started to repair the rusted floor pan . started to remove the broken rear-subframe stud
the CAMERA DIED ON ME  
i'll take other pictures tomorrow  


Frank @ spoolsport.com

So today i went to the garage again to patch those nasty holes in my floor pan
brought one of my uncle to help me out since he restores old car everyday and has alot more experience then i do with this! i removed 70% of the tar on the floorpans and condamned the fuel pump hole in the trunk (a fuel cell is going there so i won't need it)

Also tought about something for the rear end since i'll be using a s13 bumper, since s13 have the licence plate IN the bumper maybe i'll fill up the rear valence like s13 also this means im throwing away the plastic part between the tail lights

i'll post pictures tomorrow, my sister will bring me back my camera. and im going there to finish cleaning the interior and prep it for paint !

still wondering which color i will use for the interior , any sugestion ?

Worked on the car a bit yesterday. Removed the rest of the tar on the floor ... working on the tar on the rear wheel wells but that thing is a PAIN to get off. Fixed the holes in the floor. I also buffed most of the rust off the front floors (i live in quebec so rust IS omnipresent). Closed the hole for the fuel tank (i'll be using a cell in the trunk). The car is now rock solid! Slowly moving forward ...

Wow talk about a complete teardown of the entire car lol... looks like you're workin' hard at it, keep goin!

Is that a 1G DSM in the background? I'm guessing it's a Plymouth Laser since it has no spoiler (unless it was removed).

This is why there are so little nice old school cars in Quebec... winter kills them!

Keep up with the good work Frank...

Today i finished cleaning the interior, got the eurethane laid and made a "paint booth so i don't put overspray everywhere
Interior will be painted a light blue tomorrow (have to let the eurethane dry)
I used torch and a scraper to remove the tar on the rear wheel wells and it worked GREAT
I just heated the tar a little bit and after i used the scraper and it fell off pretty easely, after i used my wire brush to clean the rest of the glue. I'll let the picture speak for themselves

AAA batteries? Hahah

Looks like the swap is going well

hahaha..that pair of AAA maybe will power 1 injector and then die! lol

Thats what my car will look like soon enough, im excited and scared at the same time lol!

Did you remove the seam sealer?  Your car might be kinda whistly and water-penetrate-able if there is no sealer at all.

wow, very nice

nice work so far, is this going to be a track car or are you putting the interior back in?

Dougnice work so far, is this going to be a track car or are you putting the interior back in?

Still alive? I guess you didn't go out in the storm, then... lol

You should come back to www.japoldschool.bravehost.com a few new members have joined in the last weeks, there's been a little bit of action going on, new projects showing... even a meet being planned for this coming summer!

Anyway, keep up with the good work!

Worked on the car today

Installed the rear harness for lights/fuel pump/fuel sensor
I also had to try a s13 kit and it will fit with some small modification/trimming.
( I will use a Silvia front bumper but i had a 180sx one on hand so ignore the shape of the bumper )

lookin awesome, if i come up to the big Q this summer i may have to get in touch and drop by to take a look at your s12. I'm thinking of putting an s13 bumper and kit parts on mine as well, im glad to see im not the only person that thought of it, looks like it will be a relatively easy mod
