Damn this car was dirty!

I tried to save the carpets but it did not turn out as well as i hoped. Since i already cleaned the hell out of them i am going to pick up a charcoal gray dye and see how that looks

My new rims&tires, wheel spacers, rotors, calipers etc. just arrived at the greyhound station (Massive thanks to peppper). Try to pick those up tomorrow before i get to work on my car. Hope the weather stays nice for tomorrow s i can get a lot done

Got my new toys today from the greyhound station today, found out that they somehow ripped open 2 boxes :glare:, hope everything made it. Got a great deal from pepper, he is highly recommended by me.
another pic dump :yay!: I am so happy right now that i am gonna clean my new stuff

A new goodie, i had the 86 manual from my best friends 200, now i have the age appropriate one

Tuner lugs

I am ready for this shit! :devilsidesmile:

lol, thanks. 240 dollars in shipping. I cant wait till they are on the car as well, gonna be a sexy party!

My grandfather had 3 caprices as i was growing up, i bought it thinking i would fix up his last one but i never had the chance. I like them, they are nice comfy and we never had a problem with them.

yeah i have a small collection. I also have one for my 98 cherokee sport, moms boyfriends little mazda pickup and a brigs and straton manual.
Good reading, have a few Nascar books and ton of car tuner, truck and off road mags, also a few mountain bike mags. Always find little stupid things that help get shit done

Cleaned up my rims and tires. First removed dirt with Windex multi-surface, then used some tire shine and went over the rims again with bug and tar remover.

Going to make a custom faceplate. waiting to get one to mod it, but here is a rough draft of the original. Cant stand the piece of ugly azz wood thats screwed in there right now, i want to burn it!

ProlowtoneJan 3, 2011, 12:12 pm · #6

Ok, so i Have started looking at doing small upgrades and "USING THE SEARCH" like i should and found a few little things that i can do to get a little more out of my silly ca20.
Most likly pic up a MSD Blaster coil not sure yet, but i want to hahaha. I priced a ring kit and a gasket kit, comes out to be about 167 after tax.

Plans for today are to sand and paint my new calipers. Have to run across the road to rona and see if they have high temp spray paint and a wrench for doing brake lines, dont want to strip stuff.
If i get time and a ride i will put the new rims on my car today!

Post Merge: 03:31:03 AM / 04-Jan-11

Started on the brakes today. thought i would start of with the left caliper, i was told that i was seized. Well i got it out with some effort required

I had to raise the boot and spray in a bunch of WD40 and let it sit for 10mins, then i turned out counter clock wise and it eventually came out. The reason it had locked up was a ripped piston boot
Looked like someone had an accident in here

I could sand this down... but i think i will just go ahead and salvage another piston and boot from the calipers on my car.

Experiment. Its 12 dollars a can, and it has no special temperatures to be painted in, dries in 15 minutes

And looks pretty damn good

I then went and sprayed it with red VHT Caliper paint. Did a little mock up while i waited on the second coat to dray a little.
Going to let them cure over night and might need a touch up or to tomorrow. 1 for sure needs another coat tho

ProlowtoneJan 8, 2011, 4:55 am · #7

Today i replaced my left bumper signal, Fixed passenger door sliding hinge, New deck installed. I then immediately christened my deck by blasting the hamster dance :laugh:. Was pretty funny to see my nammer friends father looking at me like wtf while he tended to his giant cage of chickens and other pheasants. I then blasted some tragically hip,Collective soul and drained my battery hahahaha.

While wiring the stereo the car took me for me for a loop... after figuring out the wiring, i started to disconnect the wires to make proper connections. I had unplugged my front speakers but there was still sound coming out from somewhere, I then found out i have tweeters lol. Anyone guess where my tweeters are? It made me laugh pretty hard.

Ill post pic some time tomorrow i am dead tired and am going jeep shopping tomorrow morning.

Also got some good news tonight, My best friend called the house looking for me and started talking with my mother. She told him that her and her bf are going to put insurance on the truck and let me park my car in the garage! but they never told me this.... :yay!: no more half hour bike ride to see my car, solid concrete to jack up my car instead of letting it sit on grass!, Weather friendly and i can bring home my 8G compressor to piss of my loud neighbors with something other then house music. This also means i will probably try finding a new motor to drop in, still trying for a 18DET. Me and my best friend had wanted to put that in his 86 turbo before he blew it up and gave it to the tow company.

Post Merge: 03:00:08 PM / 08-Jan-11

new left signal looks good, now i need to clean the other one. Once my car is home i am going to clean and polish it after letting it sit like this. oh, and i also have new clears to pick up and install.

So as for the tweeters i found, they are mounted in my dash vents... i had my front speakers disconnected and there was still noise coming from the front. First thought that ran through my head was that there is a short and i need to run all new wires, but when i traced the wires i was relieved.

The New deck sounds and looks damn good. was my first time wiring a deck so i think i did alright. only problem was trying to find out what wires i should connect to for power. The Red/green wire shows that it goes to the battery in the shop manual, but i am not sure what to tie into for the accessory power, any input would be great! as for now i have the accessory wire hooked up to the Red/green wire and the battery power wire hooked up to a sub cable from the PO. I know that i should go at it with my DMM but i did not have it with me

Stuck my fog light switch on just to see how it looked

backwoodsbuilderJan 8, 2011, 8:49 pm · #8

dash vents? lol and it sux not having the factory radio plug to go off from i just bought a walmart plug and fits good all wired but it only has the front door wires(grays&whites) so now i got to find the rear speaker wires off the plug lol.

DeezusJan 9, 2011, 1:27 am · #9

That wood is BANGIN! Id leave that.

ProlowtoneJan 10, 2011, 5:29 pm · #10

MY CLEARS ARE IN, they look so damn good! Thanks Draconis!
So good i am changing the photo size again! If its too big tell me and ill re-size them :)

And now

Just noticed that my right light never went all the way down. Damn dead battery lol, and also found out that my grill is also partially broken. Will need to but one of those now

Found a whole lot of change and now the strawberry floss. Beginning to think a hooker had a cheep dental appointment in my car :cantlook:

imtheguy247Jan 10, 2011, 6:02 pm · #11

Haha man i personally would think that wood would get annoying. but, if i were you, i would keep it. It would keep you from having to buy and install a metro Template. just get one of those covers with the ash tray, and cut out the slots. You would only see the color around the radio, and in that case, you can paint it! haha

DraconisJan 10, 2011, 6:18 pm · #12

Glad the markers made it your way and are to your satisfaction. They do give the 12 a face lift and look a heaps better than the clear/amber ones. Btw, I dig the rims - good styling choice. ;)

I was thinking about making some type of fabric wrap for it, I have 2 dash pieces coming, I plan on trying to mod one to look good but almost stock.

Thanks again colin they look great and were nicely paced in bubble wrap for safety. also cant wait to put on my rims and brakes to see the full outcome

Ok i need some input you guys. I dono what to do, I found a ca18det with a bunch of goodies, well more like he found me. I was told to take the car for $2500 about a month or 2 ago. I was just told that he will part the car an for me to make an offer..its motor, tranny, ecu, harness, New coils and drop resistor, s14 t28 turbo, tubular manifold, Megan sr20Det 02 housing, intake with bov return, synapse BOV, HKS mushroom filter, FMIC. He also has a blitz spec-r boost controller that he will part with for $400.

I really don't want to low ball him, but i only have under 2g. But hell do i want that motor.

What do you guys think i should offer. he is local and i can pick up the motor, I would even help pull everything if it would bring the cost down any hahahaha. The car is another 200sx so it is already good to drop in

DraconisJan 13, 2011, 3:18 am · #14

Offer what you can. I mean, yeah you dont want to low ball him but at the same time you cannot really afford too much more. So I would be straight with him, tell him your position, your plans, and maybe he'll look at is as worth giving it away cheaper than normal because he likes what you are gonna do and genuinely wants to help you out.

ProlowtoneJan 13, 2011, 3:34 am · #15

yeah. thats what i am hoping for. Told him 1400 for all of it and ill help you take it out, and maybe give him back my ca20e, for a little bit off the payment, to put back in his car so that he can sell it instead of sending another 200 to its death

imtheguy247Jan 13, 2011, 8:38 am · #16

Well think about it. He was originally offering 2500 for the whole car right? with the Motor and Tranny, offer maybe 1500, and raise up. Dont ever offer what you originally wanted it for, because if you raise the price maybe from 1500 to 1600, it seems a little sweeter to the dealer. Just My Opinion :P

ProlowtoneJan 14, 2011, 12:45 am · #17

I also just found a KA24DE for $200. Poster said that it was a Nissan motor so i E-mailed them and they said it came out of a 97 altima. "took out because tranny went. have computer unit and new parts."

So that could be another route... still want an 18DET

JayJan 14, 2011, 9:37 am · #18

altima ka is no go, unless you have an s13 or s14 head and manifold laying around, and then the s13 trans won't bolt up to it.
needless to say. If you don't want to make a fwd s12, don't get the altima KA

MaxpowJan 14, 2011, 11:33 am · #19

Ca18DE(T) from a pulsar.

Installed my ugly (cleaned/scrubbed) carpet today,

And started to change the ugly into something nice

Only did the first coat, Going to finish the last one tomorrow... Maybe

All done with Dupli-color Vinyl and Fabric spray, still have 3 cans left for the interior. Also going to try it out on a car seat a the junk yard to see how well it stays on before i hurt my beaten seats. Trying to think of a color to put the seats, I might be going with a blue interior if it will fit.... Oh and i scored a free hoist today!

Post Merge: 01:51:09 AM / 20-Jan-11

Also forgot to mention that i am getting a new turbo, piping, bov, industrial oil lines, Mega Squirt and maybe a FMIC for 700, I love my friends :). Offer on the Ca18DET fell through, too much money for me right now, I can build a motor for less money and be a little happier i built it and it has new parts. I like the other motor but....well to many factors (alot going on for me right now).

backwoodsbuilderJan 20, 2011, 8:14 am · #23

nice to have a parts car at nearby jy and far as the lip if you could get it mounted on then apply heat this way it has a shape to follow.All looks good tho and ps i wish i had a friend like that..no nvr mind a gf like that lol. Good luck

ProlowtoneJan 20, 2011, 3:36 pm · #24

Yeah its an hour and a half drive but it is worth it. The only problem is that i wish it was a MK1 like my car. as now i am experimenting with what parts are the same. A lot of online research with the parts numbers. Yeah she is pretty awesome. Thanks for the tip, I dont know how i am going to mount it as i dont want to drill holes just yet but we will just have to wait and see once it is in my garage.

Going to grab 2 Blaster Coils today for the car, a tps for my jeep and some parts for my mothers Bf's sentra. Not liking the thought of working in sleet/rain. but wtf, stuff needs to be done.
Oh and guess what, I got a free hoist from my shop teacher yesterday, well I just got a free hoist from my friend jimmy..i scene it in the back if his Kie truck yesterday when i was working on my car at his house.. wtf, now i need an engine stand hahahaha

Colonel GustardJan 20, 2011, 4:28 pm · #25

car is looking great, always awesome to have s12's in the junkyards near you. and having an assistant like that is a plus, if only Maxpow had boobs

ProlowtoneJan 20, 2011, 4:44 pm · #26

Thanks! hope to grab the C trans from it this weekend to, along with your light if it is the same. I was going to grab the trans last weekend but i did not know if it was a C trans,

Colonel Gustard on 04:28:51 PM / 20-Jan-11if only Maxpow had boobs

Lmao... :idea: if he wore a bra he could hide some parts in there....

Colonel GustardJan 20, 2011, 6:42 pm · #27

if only our junkyard cars looked that good and had that many good parts, theyre all shitty and picked out. i would totally appreciate the light cover if possible. we gotta find a female companion for junkyard runs man need something to keep me focused if you know what i mean lool

ProlowtoneJan 20, 2011, 7:18 pm · #28

I know what you mean, she does coffee and doughnut runs to Tim Hortons, when she is not pulling shit appart. The guys behind the counter at pick a part gave her free stickers, One says i got down and dirty at pick a part lol. It is hilarious how many guys stop to watch her help me pull apart cars.

Colonel GustardJan 20, 2011, 7:23 pm · #29

if she gets free stickers she can get discounts. and Tim Hortons is the SHIT!!!!! when i went to canada with my aunt we ate there once and god damn it was the best sandwich and coffee i ever had

Got the MSD Blaster2 coils got one installed

To Find this....

I didnt have a new connector, I was soaking wet (truck hit a foot deep puddle beside me and i was hit with a huge wave that almost threw me off my bike) so i just ended my day.

I think that the broken wire might have been part of my problem with the slight miss and a little bit rich, Still going to do a ring and gasket kit. Just to keep this thing strong till i get a new motor built and ready to install
also going to do the coil mod. Just to see for myself if i see a diff.

only downside is you need to find a flywheel , injectors, and throttle body witch shouldnt be to hard"

Finished dyeing the other half of my carpet, fell asleep in my car for 3 hours, then installed my passenger seat, Uninstalled it due to a loose rail bolt, re-installed it to find out the wire to the arm that allows you to move the seat came off. Did not feel like taking the seat back out so i just cursed at it for about 10 mins reaching under the seat and finally got it.

Was too dark to snap better pics. I have the next 6 days off so i hope it gets nice out, Ill get my interior back together... Until i try to fit in the Mk2 blue interior.

Still have not gotten out to get my C trans, Interior, or your light Colonel Gustard. My yard bitch is MIA hahaha. She is 13 hours away getting my possible future GF. Was suppose to come back last friday but the weather in the mountain pass's are not great and she does not like to drive in the snow, Im still training her to get over her fear :) I think they are coming down Thursday.

And i was going to go to Vagas this week... My mom and her bf never booked me a flight thinking that i had school. fml :(

Ok, im back and feeling like crap, I dont know why but i have dropped 29 pounds over the last month or so. I was only 158, i am 5'9" and now 129 pounds.... I found a ca18DE pulsar today. That car is CLEAN, just fucked up door handles and smashed tail lights, Going to turn the motor over by hand tomorrow, check the compression and how smooth it is. check the tranny even tho i dont want it, i get it on the motor with all the goods attached for $350 :) Planning on rebuilding the motor, i can sell the trans locally and make a few bucks back to put into my rebuild.

The C tranny out of the 200 at pick a part is gone T_T, forgot to check for Colonel Gustards light, you have a pm btw..

My list is growing, for parts to get for friends lol. I get a free motor stand and a lunch or 2 if i get an injector and some exhaust pieces for my friend with the Supra celica hahaha, I am going to get his dad to maybe make me a new harness after i connect everything and make the motor run in my car, He is a heavy duty crane mechanic/electrician at a shipping port so he is good with this stuff.

MaxpowJan 31, 2011, 11:37 am · #42

just noticed something that just ruined my last 2 days............ The side of the car has it saying its an 88 so it would have a CA18DE. A pic of mine shows a part of the vin plate, it says 87, the means ca16DE, I had it ready to be pulled to. FML, Feel like a moron...,..

Going to be busy for the next few days.

Money spent,
Bought a new high cold cranking Eliminator battery (Comes with a 9 year warranty) for my jeep $114, putting the still new battery that was in the jeep in my 200. Also pulling the trucks optima battery out of moms bf's Sentra SE-R and putting it back where it belongs, as i got another Eliminator battery for it $109. Bought a Rad for my jeep $155, it had a nice hole, Also got oil, anti-freeze. New dress pants and shoes for Sundays funeral.

Work to do...
Install Rad on jeep, Swap 4 batteries, Brakes/fluid change on the truck along with insurance and the truck is out of the garage. Tiddy up the garage and make a few trips to the dump, buy new shelfs to :)

That means my car will be in "My Garage"! Need to finish installing interior, crimp a wire to install my other blaster coil, adjust timing, check rusted brakes, insurance, Go drive it hard for a few hours then put it in my garage, Then start stripping out unwanted crap and doing alot of good TLC repairs. Maybe swap in CA18DET before golden gardens meet. Tackle old suspension components.

Also found a CA18DET Swap without the tranny. Going to see if i can get it for cheeper as its incomplete. Wish me luck! (or i will find you) ;)
*I have my eye on something VERY Interesting* If it works this will be the first forum to hear ;)

Also need to finish removing fmic/custom turbo manifold and piping from the Caviler, install stock parts, fluid change then its sold.
Buy/install new downhill derailer on my bike. It went to meet my spokes but got up in their face, It brutally lost the fight and made the awfullest noise :rip:

Need to clean up my room and the rest of the house, We are going to try telus's new HD TV, We get free boxes lol. People are coming to install stuff soon and there are some people coming over on sunday, Think its the super bowl. To bad i have other plans.....

Buying a welder soon, I want to get an ark but everyone is hollering at me for not wanting a mig. I want to fab stuff, but i could use the mig for a little bit of body work, Any inputs would be helpful. I am alright with both of them, I use ark in the oil patch building natural gas stations and a mig at my old schools metal shop making various items for the auto shop teacher and my metal teachers.
