TURBO!

So I just picked up a T25 an hour ago.

I also ordered two tires. If they "look" right on the wheels it'll be the size I go with. If they don't... I already ordered them so they'll be the size I'll go with.

Almost...

(I really freaking hate this touchpad!!!!!)

Injectors

The 370cc injectors came in yesterday.

All I need now is turbo, tires, and tune.

Well that and

*Radiator
*Fan
*Fan shroud
*Body work
*BOV attached

wheels came in today.

I was right about the fitment. I did hung one on the rear hub and I looks like it's going to poke a little with 0* of camber. I'm sure if I camber them in some it'll address the issue without looking gaudy.

...I hope.

Wheels ordered

I ordered some Rotas! Am I JDM now!?

Ha, whatever.

I ordered a set of Rota Grids this previous Friday. They should be in Monday.

They are a +12, so I'm kinda pessimistic about how far they will stick out of the wheel well, but well oh well. It's better than the S13 SE wheels that are currently floating on it right now.

Brainstorming

My whole idea with this machine is to keep the cost down and fun up. Safety is important, as is reliability but I'll be honesty in saying they come in a distant tie for second to fun.

The turbo is blown and since this motor wasn't designed to be turbocharged to begin with, I don't think I'll complain too much reverting back to N/A.

I'm thinking a header, intake, and flywheel will do just fine. A nice wheel ...oh god I'm boring myself.

I'll take this one by one.

I get bored rapidly.

240SX 2:

With this one I have a different idea in mind totally. With my first one, which I miss every day, I wanted to build a drift car so I could have as much fun as it looked like drifting was. Then came the realization that I had built more than I could afford to break, and then soon after I started becoming soft.

The 240SX, though minimal in modification, had become too "hardcore" and "immature" for my planned immediate future. Figure that one out...

I traded it for an Acura RSX and felt good about my decision for a little while. Then the Acura just became... insufficient. It got great MPG, could run 87, it was an automatic so I didn't have to worry about shifting, it was comfortable, high enough off the ground so I didn't have to calculate a way to make it over a 4" speed bump...

It was everything I wanted, ...wanted.

After I few months I could give a shi* less about all the creature comforts and easiness. Where was the raw thrills? Where was the passion? Where was the emotion? The fun?

It didn't deliver on any of those fronts and when I realized that passion was more important than comfort I decided I'd had enough.

So I traded it for this, and now I'm back at square one.
