Don't you have to pull the engine and fix the compression on number 4 before you can really drive it? I would imagine it probably doesn't run very well or have much power with a dead hole.

CA18DET ftmfw. I loved my ca. Good luck with the build.

how much did you get it for by chance?

Wolf DilworthHey Bro

Can I interest you in a steal bumper support for the MKI?  I will not be needing the one I have very much longer and since it is on a MKII...  You pay shipping and it is yours.

Just askin.

Peace, Wolf

wow

needs work for sure.  that hot pipe is so win lol.  is there a bumper support behind the front bumper?  and DAMN LOL the wheel and tire setup soooo doesnt match the suspension.  u know we gonna have to test fit those on my car though.  pretty sure they're 15x8 0 offset.  damn nice size for sure.

no need to answer i'm just bustin ya and i'm gonna see ya tomorrow

Yeah the hot pipe is a custom job by me lol the hot pipe he had didn't fit after I swapped turbos it was off by three inches so I got some rad pipe and used the coupler to make it fit lol some mcgyver shit just needed it to run so while tow on oacassion I could start the motor to charge the battery so my lights and hazards don't go dead lol

mcgyver=win

IggyEGuanamcgyver=win

sideways_s12Yes.....yes it is lol

They just started showing it?  That show is like 15 years old but still full of win.  I watch it from time to time.  One day I'll buy the series.

you ever see the macgruber sketches from snl? so funny...

im pretty sure the offset is +0 on those XXR/Sportmax rims.

Thank you myth for that info lol might be putting some stuff up for sale just haven't decided yet

*Licks the screen obsessively*

(which is unrelated to the fact I did an allignment earlier tday on a short bus...)

Thats just a sweet hot car!

Im jealous. Sleep lightly... Jk jk jk... haha

Well I guess a lil update is in order since i haven't done much with it lol. Well about a month ago my window some jackass decided to break my pass window for what reason I don't know but i do know who did it...lol and they will get theirs in due time well iwent to the jy and bought a new window which happened to have the same purple tin t the rest of the car has lol which was perfect lol then kendra got bored and decided to clean my rims and now they are blinging lol

Damn that sucks. Freaking haters suck man.

Cars like yours are the reason why i chose the path of pain and buyed an S12

IT looks awesome

PLS for gods sake show us your exhaust system in detail

i need a catback and want modify a s13 system too

ive had the same thing happen to me jason. they didnt take shit either but my faceplate not even the radio the fuckin faceplate. the principle alone made me want to kill.... bad. so i feel ur frustration

last summer with my mx3 some fucktards took my faceplate out of my deck and put it on the ground and smashed it (it was just outside the door)

then they took my hood release handle and somehow bent it completely backwards (with their feet!) and snapped it off!!!! .....and they took like 10 bux in nickels and pennies from my console!

the next night I left a $20 on the dash and watched out the window with a golf club in my hand....I wanted to smash some shins!

Alrighty i'm finally getting to work on my beast gonna pull the head and see whats up as soon as I get off work. I will let you guys know how bad the damage best case scenario is a blown head gasket worst case scenario i'll need a new block *crosses fingers hoping for it to be the first one* wish me luck and hope for the best lol

Ok Iggy, Mrs. Sideways and myself pulled apart the motor last and found very minimal damage to the motor first the head gasket was blown and second the #4 piston had a very slight hole around the edge near th cyl wall so from an assement last night I need a head gasket and a piston luckily I bought rods and pistons from the det for my single cam project so I have a spare set lol while I'm in there I'm gonna rering all 4 and check the bearings and make sure they are within spec then hopefully I can this bad boy up and running by the end of the month.. Wish me luck I will keep you updated as usual....

no damage to that cylinder wall?

nope it needs a hone but that's it everything else was fine

nope it needs a hone but that\'s it everything else was fine

Lol I am trying to I want to drive my shit

gonna drain the oil and unbolt the motor thursday hopefully we can get it pulled and replace the rings and drop it back in on thursday but we"ll see what happens

alright got some pics of the damage turnsout not only was the piston burned but we found broken ring lands actually I should say destroyed ring lands lol on with the pics...

no.4


compared to no.1



ringland comparison the broken one is no.4







Sorry the flash fucks it up but without it you cant see it lol anyway I have spare rods and pistons that were for my single cam project so I will be replacing the number 4 piston also will be replacing the rings on all of them and also the bearings they weren't to bad but I figure why not since they are out....oh and btw the det is way easier to work on than the single cam lol. But don't get it twisted I still love the single cam....

On a different note the wiring is super fucked lol I don't think a shop did it I don't think a shop would do that bad of a job on wiring he ran the wiring like it was an s13 so the ecu is on the wrong side lol not to mention the there's a huge rat nest of wiring on the driverside right behind the drivers side light...we got rid of the the rats nests behind the pass side tho...turned out to be the hids he was trying to wire up lol I got rid of all that shit. So I have hids if anybody wants them lol but you gotta figure out the wiring lol.
