I got tired of the shitty fitment with the bent rad support so i am in the process of buying a parts car. I pulled the rad support and now i am just waiting to get the straight one. And yes a E-Fan will be going in soon. Here is how it sits now

D-sport S12Jul 10, 2009, 11:05 am · #7

i believe i do.
Rad support is now in, fixed my downpipe so no my wideband is completly installed. Got to work out some wiring issues then going in for a inspection today. I have to pass, i need to go drifting on sunday

D-sport S12Jul 14, 2009, 10:34 pm · #8

I made it to the track sunday for some drifting and only 9 cars which was sick, so lots of track time. Anyways tons of fun first time out in the car since last year. I will get a video and some pics up soon.
 The bad new was the blown turbo i got from the day. 2 1/2 hr drive home sucked with a blown turbo. Getting another t25 for $140 this saturday

D-sport S12Jul 15, 2009, 2:48 pm · #9

got some pictures now from D-Day 5. Video will be out soon.

D-sport S12Jul 15, 2009, 6:59 pm · #12

D-sport S12Jul 21, 2009, 1:46 pm · #13

That would be cool but will probably cost me more than i want to spend.
Something i forgot to add.
I found some sweet strut tower rust, which sucked cause you couldn't even notice it because of the undercoating. Its all fixed now

So could be competing next year in DMCC West. That means a build up of the S12 this winter including cage and a few other things.

D-sport S12Nov 3, 2009, 1:29 am · #19

Interior stripped for the most part, all of the sound deadening is gone, I just have to take of some of the plastic panels. Should be getting ready for a cage soon

D-sport S12Feb 4, 2010, 5:00 pm · #20

So I finally got a engine lift to my house and pulled my SR, it's been to long since it got rod knock. Now teardown.
I was surprised on the condition of the clutch, still looked pretty good lol.
Drivers side motor mount was broken, fell off when the engine came off it

your car looks like david b's cars twin with the hood of and sittin at the track.

D-sport S12Mar 1, 2010, 1:13 am · #22

so i took the head off a few weeks ago but i was extremely lazy and haven't taken any pictures.

Should be cleaning up the engine bay this week and probably stitch welding the engine bay up this weekend.

I am just working on selling my dirtbike so i can get some more cash flow for:
Good head
good crank
ACL race bearings
Eagle rods
forged pistons

D-sport S12Mar 19, 2010, 3:22 pm · #23

Finally got some pics up, you can see part of the #1 rod bearing and how bad it was as it is jagged and folded over the sides

D-sport S12May 11, 2010, 4:54 am · #24

So little update, no pics due to dead batteries, hopefully some pics in the next couple days.
Painted all my interior so its nice and black
block has been hot tanked so it's nice and clean
Oil pump, full gasket set, and S14 oil pick up (last in Canada hurrah!!) have all been ordered.
just waiting on some more cash flow so i can order in CP pistons, eagle rods and send the block out to get some machining done

D-sport S12Jun 4, 2010, 2:56 am · #25

someday i will get up some actual pics.
In the mean time i am picking up my CP pistons tomorrow, and going to be getting a sparco sprint V with rails for $200

KustamogenJun 4, 2010, 3:01 am · #26

drive that thing to calgary when youre done

D-sport S12Jun 4, 2010, 3:18 am · #27

might just have to, maybe hit up some drift practice out there as well

KustamogenJun 4, 2010, 3:21 am · #28

haha if you dont mind drifting over pot holes.....

race city kinda blows.....although I havent been there in a few years so maybe they cleaned up their act. Ive kinda fallen outta the local car world due to my gay ass anxiety issues the last half decade.

If the city and the racecity owners could finally come to an agreement on land shit maybe they would finally fix up the facility to its former glory!

RedneckJun 4, 2010, 3:27 am · #29

Just outta curiosity why are you dropping so much money into the block? Are you planning on a really high hp sr build down the road?

D-sport S12Jun 4, 2010, 3:35 am · #30

ye i hope they can figure out some kind of agreement, drifting in western canada still needs to get way bigger and we need as many tracks as possible

RedneckJust outta curiosity why are you dropping so much money into the block? Are you planning on a really high hp sr build down the road?

why not lol

i just really want a strong bottom end, and if i get a used SR shortblock i will probably just blow that one up cause stock SR bearing blow
I do plan on bigger power for next year. Nothing to huge, just wanna go for a max of around 350whp

not entirely sure, i know of a guy that was running 30psi. It would really have to depend on your tune
D-sport S12Aug 12, 2010, 4:37 pm · #34

I have been super lazy on this build. It will be done before next summer for sure even if i have to get some kind of loan. But i did get a sparco srpintV with sidemount rails for $200

D-sport S12Aug 31, 2010, 12:43 am · #35

So i might be picking up a shell for $1000 w/ cage,coils, modded rear subframe and front spindles

IggyEGuanaSep 1, 2010, 11:47 pm · #39

where was that car hiding?

DeezusSep 1, 2010, 11:51 pm · #40

I seriously hope that isnt your car. Cause that thing is fucking ugly.

D-sport S12Sep 2, 2010, 12:15 pm · #41
IggyEGuanawhere was that car hiding?

It's a guys from a town near me he was running it in the DMCC west, he just never posted on here even though i told him to. He has been drifting that car for like 4 years now to.

DeezusI seriously hope that isnt your car. Cause that thing is fucking ugly.

No it's not mine, well not yet. I will be buying the shell which will come with modded rear subframe, modded knuckles, coilovers, and the cage. All of these parts will then be put into my car. And yes i know it is ugly

newby200sxMar 7, 2011, 10:00 am · #46

Looks real good man keep up the good work,  I think if you get that shell and put a lil work into it it would be a good looking and amazing drift car bro

zastabaMar 7, 2011, 10:52 am · #47

Wow man - I totally missed this thread! Looks like it's all coming along nicely. Hope to see this car running out west some day! :yes: I live close to Cow-town and I agree - Race City is a pot-holed pile of crap lol.

D-sport S12Mar 7, 2011, 3:09 pm · #48

lol ye i have heard race city is pretty bad. Not getting that shell anymore, not really sure what happened to the whole deal but he is using the car again this year.
Saving up for a shortblock right now, as i don't have the money to finish the rebuild

D-sport S12Mar 12, 2011, 2:31 pm · #49
