Wow almost 6k rpm on start up. Way to ruin your engine fast.

actually it was not a cold start, my meter doesnt work all the way until it gets reallyy warm.

and, the engine is not my prize possesion,
i thought this was a car forum,
not myspace or youtube.

thanks for the positive comment

Have you done the swap, or are you drifting with the stock engine?  I still would like to see your car if your ever in Richmond.

David Bwent out, shot some pictures,


Either of these last pictures would be calendar potential, provided the original high-resolution images from the camera are still around.

I've always liked industrial backdrops for cars.

either way, David is a good photographer.

The CA20 sounds nice with a 1.5-2" straight pipe!

Also, 1.5" Is not loud. Most fart cans are twice as loud as a small diameter straight pipe.

bought my first car back in the winter for 300$

single cam swapped it, tagged it, insured it.

my s14 and my life is in the way, but i plan to s13 suspension swap the front at least, its got a welded diff, maybe a rally car?!?! IDFK!!!  but the S12  bug still burns in my heart.

had to pull over due to a pinhole in my lower radiator hose, damn warm weather making things break. i replaced both hoses today to ensure reliability, attempting 2 drift events with her this month. Hopefully she makes it through!
