Hey guys, Well after my whole water pump explosion back in December I decided I never wanted to have to worry about getting my car back home safely again, not to mention having to wait hours for a tow truck to arrive to give me a tow. I had originally planned on buying an open trailer and found one ...

I will also be ordering an OEM water pump from Nissan on Thursday, after that, the last thing I need to order is the aluminum radiator. Since the car is d...

I gained a lot of confidence in the car the more and more I drove them on the autox course. I can't even begin to imagine how R-compounds would feel :shock:

Here is a pic of the tires that I purchased last week, I had originally planned on going with the Kumho XS' but they were on back order from the local tire store. So I ended up going with the RE-11's, I got them for just over $5 more per tire than the XS'. I tried them at the autox where I had my wa...

Wow, wtf caused that? that's crazy ****, sorry to see that on the new paint job =[ I believe the water pump siezed somehow and from the force of the belt trying to spin it, ripped it off of the water pump causing all hell to break loose.

Finally brought her home on Friday night. Overall, I am still somewhat disappointed in the amount of time the shop took as well as the lack of attention to detail they took in certain areas. Oh, and I still need to install the grilles back into the front bumper. When I drove the car home my wife fol...

Nice color man. Good to see it painted. Why not try twin charging the dohc? Use both the sc and the turbo. Well I originally wanted to swap in the DOHC right away, but after re-thinking my HP goals I started to believe that the SOHC might be able to suit my needs. As for twin charging, I think it w...

Here are some pics of a few more parts that I picked up tonight. Picked up this T28 and FMIC for $210. I plan on trying to make the supercharger work on the SOHC first and if I am not happy with the results I will switch over to the T28 setup, which I know I will like. It was just too good of a deal...

It appears that they have done a little more work to the car, judging from dust-free spots that had body filler on them.
