Ok what kind of carpet is that? cut pile or loop? A close-up would be nice.

David BAug 1, 2008, 9:07 am · #204

Arro Ok what kind of carpet is that? cut pile or loop? A close-up would be nice.

hmm, i really dont know what "cut pile" or "loop" is

im guessing... loop, is basically loops lmao
ill get a close up on it tomorrow for you

i hide the air tubes and stuff because im not using them... and it was too much to remove the tubes anyways, plus it looks cleaner

the carpet has that "unde capret carpet" pad thing glued to it too, its really nice +2537 for jaidseye

ill be able to have a decent 80's drift car, with a amazing interior, thats hard to find, and the lining and everything cleans REAL well, nice and smooth look, and i love the door panels, there so OG with the chrome trime haha

remember, i still gotta vacuum and wipe down
but basically EVERYTHING in the interior is , freshly died, or new

ArroAug 1, 2008, 4:42 pm · #205

air tubes?

SHIFT_LOVEAug 1, 2008, 5:50 pm · #206

Arroair tubes?

David BAug 1, 2008, 11:06 pm · #209

You want to hear something funny, when I pulled my old dirty carpet out, I could swear my air tubes were UNDERNEATH, not over the top of it.

Weird.

Nice dude, basement looks like quite the pad lol Thats a nice place on the whole as well.

Good luck with your drift event! Don't stuff it into the wall

Your car is actually really clean, I'm super jealous...

IggyEGuanaAug 10, 2008, 6:38 am · #218

NICE!

Fuckin pad is pimp. Much humping to be done in that basement. Brown suede sex bag all set up an everything.

Pics of doriftang!! Have fun man. You will rock that shit.
S12 POWAR!!!

sideways_s12Aug 10, 2008, 7:51 am · #219

sweet new house and love the basement except for the red walls but hey whattaya gonna do...lol

200sxkitcarAug 10, 2008, 6:37 pm · #220

hmm I rather like that color, livens up the area quite a bit. Makes the texture in the walls look interesting.

GL today!

SprockCapnAug 10, 2008, 6:59 pm · #221

Good luck at the drift event today. I look forward to any pictures and curious to see how the s12 does. Yeah i like the red color too and the lovesac. We used to have the big one too when lived in SLC.

David BAug 16, 2008, 5:01 am · #222

any recommended plug wires?

i did get duralasts, but ive had one already fail

when i drive, my car will kinda slightly hesistate

then when i foor it alot, the car will cut, and jerk, but still blast through through rpms.

are these sign of plug wires?
i hate ignition problems.

ive already replaced WIRES, COILS, PLUGS, ROTOR, ROTOR CAP, so. im gonna guess its the cheap duralasts

from autozone/advanced autoparts, what are reliable and not too expensive

200sxkitcarAug 16, 2008, 7:03 am · #223

I just tried ordering a set from Nissan, and the system kicked it out as no longer available.

I've seen these bright blue wires before on a couple CA20's, I think they were a good grade, but can't remember what exactly.

Go ahead David and start a thread in CA20 section asking about wires, and we'll collect some info and sticky it eventually. It might get noticed more there than in here, and I'm wondering the same thing myself...

silverarrow27Aug 17, 2008, 11:41 pm · #224

What kind of spark plugs are you using? And if you want some nice oem grade plug wires...NGK wires are the best oem replacements. These are probably what Sterling is talking about...bright blue.

200sxkitcarAug 18, 2008, 5:55 am · #225

Thats probably it then. I wonder what parts store you get them from, more research needed now...

I thought they were just some ebay or cheap thing, with the color and all. Now I know I should have grabbed a set of the like 5 sets I've seen, lol

David BAug 18, 2008, 8:38 pm · #226

UPDATE***

i have registerd for DRIFT NIRVANA

150 dollars and its an hour away
im so excited al;l i need is plug wires and tires. and i should be good!!!

this place has THREE tracks and a skid pad !!!!

pics and vids one it happens
next sunday

200sxkitcarAug 19, 2008, 3:44 am · #227

Hope its your wires and nothing else man. Thats just a guesstimate, really. You've got a friend that can give you a ride back in case of an issue, right?? Don't know about your rpms when you're doing this, but eventually that 20year old ca20 might let loose its headgasket while you're on it hard, you never know...

but, forgetting that shit, good luck!

David BAug 19, 2008, 4:38 am · #228

i do have a ride back

if my rpms end up blowing a head gasket......... well ill get immidietly on my BLUE cars swap,

and if i ever complete that, then i will end up attempting it again with this car.
i am worried about blowing a gasket, but realize my CA20E really hasnt been pushed by anyone else other then me, my car was bone stock, no mods ever done to it and it sat a long while, the guy i bought it off of was my moms friend for many years

we will see what happens.

200sxkitcarAug 19, 2008, 5:07 am · #229

Yeah, as long as you have somewhat of a backup plan, and some $ in the bank for a tow, you're probably fine. The ca's headgaskets tend to go as they get old, even if they weren't beat on.

Ever locate an engine for this project yet? or still on the lookout?

David BAug 19, 2008, 5:09 am · #230

im on the lookout

but NOTHING

i have guys that are like? your looking for a KA??? omg buy mine... i start talking, just to find out its a fucking singlecam

i want a DOHC engine. bottom line

like in the future, after this swap, and if i try it for my DD, then sure for single cam, but this blue S12, i want DOHC.

why the fuck do i have to pay over 700 bucks for a god damn ka? WHY. people pick them up for nothing on forums.... its pissing me off... im being patient... i am

200sxkitcarAug 19, 2008, 5:26 am · #231

Yeah man, I'd wait for a dohc. Like you said, the sohc would be cool for dd, but to make good power, I'd be after a dohc.

Too bad you weren't closer, there are several local here, and I'm just unloading mine. shippings not really an option for me, as I can't really move them that way.

you'll find something eventually, plenty of other work to be done with that thing in the meantime

David BAug 19, 2008, 6:27 pm · #232

**UPDATE***

search for tires
FUCK YEA yessssssss
first place i stopped by

was monroes brakes and mufflers, and service
i walked in casually.
i told the guy i drift, and i burn tires fast
and i said
do you have any?

he says, you can go out back and dish whatever ya want out as long as you dont make a mess of my tires

soooo... i went out back, and GOLDMINE!!!
i even found good treaded falkens! but sadly they were 16s....

i managed to fit 10 goodyears int he back of my hatch
there all in the range of

p185-60-15r
and p195-65-15r
except i grabbed a set of 205 somethings because they had good tread

AND i got my plug wires, i asked around a few local shops, and i went to CHAMPS again, and they had my NGKs suprisingly, for 45bux

PICZ, lol i was just happy so i took a bunch

seb.racingAug 19, 2008, 9:28 pm · #233

large collection of tires

SHIFT_LOVEAug 19, 2008, 10:43 pm · #234

seb.racinglarge collection of tires

do you happen to have enough wheels for all the tires???

David BAug 19, 2008, 11:14 pm · #235

SHIFT_LOVEdo you happen to have enough wheels for all the tires???

NO lol, i have 2 sets, and then the rear set on my car,

but whatever, i have a friend that will mount them for free, whats wrong with having too many tires??

forivadelAug 20, 2008, 2:58 am · #236

did the monroe guy give them to you for free?

200sxkitcarAug 20, 2008, 5:15 am · #237

OMG dude, you got the HOOKUP right there!! cool. now, send them up in smoke

David BAug 20, 2008, 6:02 pm · #238

forivadeldid the monroe guy give them to you for free?

drifting isnt really popular in manassas, except we have our ODS drift meet here... im the only on on the forum that actually LIVES in manassas where the track is,

everyone here has FWD civis and integras... RWD isnt so popular, i see a 240 now and then but its just for show and no go.

yea they were free, the guy is kinda redneck, and plus i was coverd in oil and stuff so i guess thats the seal of approval!

UPDATE**
GOT them mounted..... FOR FREEEE!!!! yayyyy

here are some pic from the day

my blue s12 under the wheels

will doo!

check out my battery tie down!

David BAug 20, 2008, 10:07 pm · #239

guhhhh sunday is so far away!

it just sitting. itching to boast its tremendous power of might! its nissan legacy soul carries the force of ten hurricanes and makes its prey tremble at sight! oh the power of this 85 whp Ca20e!

David BaND it fixed my jerking problem

lol at myself

David BAug 20, 2008, 10:59 pm · #240

ive decided to take my black spray painted hood, and paint MEOW!

is that a bad ideA?

200sxkitcarAug 21, 2008, 5:53 am · #241

Hell no! Just paint it nice- use tape- and it will elevate your baller status 15 points! lol

It took me a minute, then Yes! I saw it! haha you really should get an actual battery tiedown, lol

You should write more prose about the CA20E

David BAug 22, 2008, 12:25 am · #242

David BAug 22, 2008, 8:29 pm · #243
