My S13 240 : Ls swap, Corvette trans,ITB's, Widebody, Stupid wide wheels,

[benz88]

You've actually motivated me to work on my S13. Ive had it striped apart for 2 years and had sikky mounts and a 5.3 waiting for it. Just need trans and harness and some bodywork

Benz88, if you're not dead set on a GM Trans maybe look into a 350z/g35 Trans. Collinsadapters.com makes adapters for them $500 I think. Those 350z Trans go for $300 used on average around here.

I recently had someone mention to me my wheels and lips were pointlessly and uneccessaryily wide and it was all for show, and then i didnt know how to measure and spec wheels properly.

Ahem, this is the rear wheel fitment to the inner wheel house, with out the amount of camber i will be runnning.

Any questions?

My lips are pointlessly wide for the sake of depth. I wanted a certain width wheel and i didnt reduce offset just to make them look cool. In fact i wanted to reduce poke past the stock body as much as possible as that would reduce the amount of additional widening id have to do to the body.

Small update. other than fuck ****** (even thos i absolutely **** that phrase lol, its currrently applicable) IM busy doing a karlton flare install, full top end seal replacement and exhaust intsall on a turbo integra, and have done multiple alignments after work the last few weeks.

Got to pay for these ridiculous parts somehow. Next update will be big as i should get a good bit done by then, or atleast im hoping. Who knows, maybe it will just be to post up a picture or two of a few parts haha

Well, car is getting parted out. Over the last year or so as I've been building it my wants and goals have changed. I also let this car get a little away from me in the sense that i let it get a little out of hand in what i wanted to do exactly.

With that being said. The funds from it will be going to a new project. The plan is to pick up a high milage budgie wrx, buy a spare motor and learn how to assemble a short block. I'm already capable of tearing it down to a short block and dropping in a new one and reinstalling blah blah. But i dont have the tools or knowledge currently to actually assemble the rotating assembly myself, and i want to learn.

**** to do it, as id really like to see this through, but investing in my personal knowledge that could possibly further my career is more important to me than finishing a cool crazy project car.

Look of the for sale adds on the classifieds section and buy my shit.

Can't you learn your short block building skills on the LS? Finish this 240 and you'll have peeps lining up to work on their shit, it'll be your rolling portfolio. Just my .02, I'm always sad inside when the really ambitious projects go belly-up
