Subbed, this is epic, such a great read for a slow afternoon at work

had me in stitches with some of the gifs/ updates/ replies.

great work on the build as well. looks awesome, and great to see when things go from bad to worse it can be recovered and turned into something fantastic

Thanks! Yeah sometimes it takes me a while to get the posts rolling because I'm laughing so hard at the memes.

It does sound like a bat out of hell. What exhaust are you going to run?

It does! and secret

It run yet???

yes it run

It is sad to see another car ruined by non oem parts...

?

Certainly not the first LS s13 ever, but somehow i don't care how many times it is done i still love them. Great work pulling through and fixing rust, it's a shame how many of these have fallen victim to rust and been turned into missles. This is gonna be a good one!

Thanks, after I learn how to work on cars I'll make a real build thread. This is a warm up round.

Why are you here then? Fuckin' neanderthal...

This build went from no to go real quick. Loving it dude.

haha thanks

UPDATE!!!!!! So i guess it's time to fire the engine up for the first time. My brother and I arrived at the shop around noon, fully expecting to jump in and start it up and contain my stage 2 chub.


























The 240 decided that would be too easy. I got in and flipped the switches. The lights came on but the fuel pump did nothing. I set it up for success and it let me down.































Perfect. On top of that, I realized that even if the fuel pump did come on, it would have nothing to pump. I had forgotten I drained it a long time ago and had exactly 0 gas anywhere around the shop. Remember this is the first time I had really worked on a car. I was getting softer by the minute. We keep getting closer and then messing up the little things.
































In my desperation to figure something out, I started digging through the pile of car parts I had taken off the 240 when I first got it. In that pile I found a huge relay box and instantly it clicked. Plugged that in and fuel pump started working. I'm getting good at this. So now the car should start, right? Wrong. It's like the 240 got so excited it forgot how to car.




























We started getting frustrated, it was midnight. We've been in the shop for 12 hours now (which is about the same as every time we work in the shop). Then my brother had an idea. Fast Unk showed him a trick where you can start a car by connecting the two terminals on the starter using a wrench. I imagine that would work fine considering that's all the starter switch does anyway. I was extremely dismayed by this solution, because it seemed like sure starter motor destruction. But I wanted to start the motor so bad I would've started it with my balls.

So I was sitting in the car with a fire extinguisher and he was filming while sticking his hand between the headers with a ratchet and attempting to connect the terminals. It was difficult to get a good connection so it just clicked loudly a couple times then I pooped.

Locate a sub woofer or good headphones immediately.
