Well my names Jake. I'm 19yo and I'm not the best mechanic in the world, but i'm learning. Most of my work is... Actually all of my work is done in my grandfathers garage by me with help from friends. I have a habit of being lazy when it comes to doing things for myself. I'm a hard worker when i'm helping others just never have the initiative to get things done for myself. So if the s12's not ca18 swaped by this summer dont be suprised.

Projects-

Welcome! Hey; You know you don't know, which means you know more than most!

About to hack up an '87 RX7 Turbo II. I got he motor trans ECU for my S12. Guy on RX7.com is talkin about grabbin' the posi and and some interior stuff. Deal not sealed yet. 5-lug car but took a hit on the left front. I know the rotor is cracked there, but I don't know if the hub is good. Silver car/grey interior.

 Well we finally got started on the head gasket tonight. Ordered the parts and started tearing down the engine tonight.

 Well the clutch is completely done... Sitting at my garage also waiting to be torn apart. Lol its weird having all the cars there over night... Just like wow maybe we all just have getto cars... Oh well at least there not hondas

Story
 I went and checked out a 240sx with ryan(rx7 owner) I'd seen it sitting there months ago but had bad front end damage. Thought maybe if it had a manual trans i could buy it and use both the suspension and trans 4 the s12. The guy that owns it said he'd give it to me for $800. Turns out its an auto tho. Well ryan and i were looking at it and a 300zx sitting there. When his gf runs up and says his car drifted into a parked truck. (He had it in gear... the clutch was so bad it slipped and rolled...) We go running expecting the worst. By some fate of god it hit the trucks tire and did no damage to ether car ... I guess just fates way of saying use the damn ebrake next time.

Ps- i'd love to see the supra 1jz swapped but he doesnt have the money so i think he's just sticking with the 7m-gte    

Pss- honda's are ok... just not my thing...

Last night i got the oil seal in the s12. Engine wil' hopefully be in tonight. If not it will be in the next couple days. hopefully i can find all the bolts. cant wait to hear it run again.  

Mike's hear working on the exhaust for his supra. Just to get away from the head gasket work... Going to put a side exit on it.  

I tryed to put pics up but i'm having some tech problems... pretty much my laptops down. so i'm using this old one we have and it doesnt have usb... mikes laptop has usb but can find the software for the camera... i'll find a way one way or another...

OC ftw win!

if i go to the beach which i do alot during the summer, (im in va, nova 703) we should meet up or something

As for an update-
S12
I need to find the bolts that connect the flexplate to the torque converter... the dealer wants $54 bucks for 4 bolts... if anyone know's. Are they special bolts? i mean would i be risking alot buy just buying some bolts with the same thread and strength and putting them in?

Also i need to figure out the wire's in the distributor.



Anyone know what order thoughs wire's go in? thanks.

PS- thanks to those that defended my thread while i haven't been on...

Lookin good.

The dealer wants $54 for those bolts! You should go to the junkyard and start hunting for them or go to any automotive/hardware store but make sure u get the same grade as those bolts. Good luck! Wish I had a big workshop like that. Got everything a man needs to make shit happen!

The S12 is officially running... First start up in 6 months she started right up.  Now i just need to finish up body work and paint her and she'll be ready for the road... OK so the paints not important
