ProlowtoneJul 8, 2011, 7:54 pm · #152

D-sport S12Jul 8, 2011, 8:41 pm · #153

ProlowtoneJul 9, 2011, 5:29 pm · #154

^lol already did pricing. new gaskets, forged pistons with rings (8.5:1) ACL X Race Mains and rod bearings, ARP Headbolts, Timing tension and idler pulleys, Dual valve spring kit = 1500+ still need some injectors, and to make some mods to the header so i can put on my wastegate and 50 trim.

Also getting a welder + tanks and material + paying someone to install a 220-240V receptical in the garage to plug it in. which reminds me, Still need to buy a rebuild kit for the turbo :P

D-sport S12Jul 9, 2011, 6:42 pm · #155

ProlowtoneJul 9, 2011, 7:23 pm · #156

ProlowtoneJul 17, 2011, 6:12 pm · #157

Got new 3-way Pioneer speakers. 400 watt 6X9s for the rear, the 300 watt 6.5s i bought for the front are going in the jeep instead since a speaker quit on my mom a few months back and my crappy wildcat audio ones are still kicking

ProlowtoneJul 20, 2011, 3:42 am · #158

YES! TURBO HOOD! so happy right now (Thanks S12-AR). Going to look at paint tomorrow, and clear a space under my bed to store the hood off my car :) Save it as a spare.

Paid for the hood today :D and i also got the front half of the drive shaft of a 240 at the yard.

Still have not had time to grab the Z31 suspension as i have been busy as hell helping restore my friends 82 celica supra. Body work= Done, Paint= done (Picked up the car 3 days ago), Motor+suspension rebuild= Done (Just need stiffer springs an sway bar in the rear). The Exhaust is being redone today as we installed an OBX header which changed how it sits under the car :S Bolt on my ass....

ProlowtoneSep 17, 2011, 6:15 am · #160

Bought 3 months insurance so my car is now plated :) lol i didnt have many to choose from so i got one with LVA (Lova, cause she takes all my moneys)
Installed, painted wiper arms, the cover that sits at the the bottom of the window under the wipers, new rack bellows, drivers inner tie rod end and gave it a measuring tape alignment :D, hatch latch, original wheel so i have a horn for a bit, bled the brakes again... Think im going to buy a new master tomorrow if they dont work right after i bleed them in the morning.

I drove 130km today and the fastest i have driven my car since i bought it was on the way home, i got my lil ca20 up to 135kmph lmao (with faulty brakes and a wobbling tire.

ProlowtoneSep 19, 2011, 12:20 am · #161

I guessed right.. inner bearing on the passenger side was toast. the pins were everywhere, the cage separated from the center of the bearing allowing the hub to sink and bend the area on the dust shield where the grease sits on the hub causing a grinding noise but now thats all fixed.

The Brake Master cylinder is toast. I pulled off the front line and put a beer can under the hole. I went down to the garage after i ate to see that it had slowly dripped till the was nothing in the resivour. That means the rubber seals inside are worn out and letting fluid weep past the seals, so it cant hold pressure. Still cant believe they wanted like $366 for the master cylinder :S (I would have cried rape) i got mine at the net price of $240+ my discount so it came out to $166 lol

Colonel GustardSep 19, 2011, 12:28 am · #162

166 for a brake master cylinder? you have to be kidding. i could have gotten you a brand new one down here for 30 bux with lifetime warranty

ProlowtoneSep 19, 2011, 12:45 am · #163

:S FUCK! lol too late, already putting it on.

Colonel GustardSep 19, 2011, 12:47 am · #164

take it off and return it, ill get you one down here for hella cheaper. save yourself the 60 bux

ProlowtoneSep 19, 2011, 2:43 am · #165

Its already bled and bolted on, I cant return that :( lol. BTW I CAN STOP FOR MORE THEN 10 SECONDS BEFORE ROLLING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CLUTCH NOW! :D or lifting the E-brake and pumping :P. Cant wait to take er for a drive tomorrow. might feel better to slide now

Colonel GustardSep 19, 2011, 8:42 am · #166

you sir got the rape of the year

ArroSep 20, 2011, 8:39 pm · #167

Ebay or motorsport auto (zstore.com)

ProlowtoneSep 21, 2011, 7:22 pm · #168

Thanks Arro, Ill check out the Zstore after funds get sent over to my PayPal :).
I installed a working factory tach, and im putting on a mirror. The guy behind the desk at the junkyard said my car is beautiful  :embarrassed2: then i showed him some of what i did and he really liked how clean it is inside and out

ProlowtoneSep 22, 2011, 12:23 am · #171

Colonel GustardSep 22, 2011, 12:24 am · #172

holy cow testicles! if i were you man i would take it off and clean it nice with some brake cleaner and return it, tell them it was the wrong one

Gomesf1Sep 22, 2011, 12:32 am · #173
Prolowtone on 09:45:05 PM / 21-Sep-11Sweet! Thanks Gomes
no prob its on my fave tab lol
ProlowtoneSep 22, 2011, 12:45 am · #174

I cant afford no brakes. the other one maybe had one or two days left in its life before shit when drastically wrong. I almost got into an accident today doing 80KM, Some dick pulled straight out of a parking lot, across on comming traffic and i had to almost lock up the brakes. Car slid and screeched a bit but i stopped about a foot from his bumper. I went ape shit :glarestraight: I layed on the horn for about a minute while fingering him, a pedestrian walked up to his window hollering at him

Colonel GustardSep 22, 2011, 12:48 am · #175

thats why you put a bull bar on the front and ram stupid people like that

ProlowtoneSep 27, 2011, 4:42 am · #176

^ LOL I wish, But thats why the jeep will be getting a full motor rebuild + 2-4" Lift with bull bars and winch :D

I made a shopping cart for my DET, Total is $2487.38.

ProlowtoneSep 29, 2011, 9:36 pm · #177

Well.... change of events. Me an 2 friends were all going to drive to Peachland BC tomorrow to drop off the Finished Celica Supra for the winter since my friend has no room to store it here. We were all going to pile into my friends 4th gen Prelude for the way back but he got into an accident last night so now his car is fucked. Now we are taking my car up to drop off the Supra :/. I guess this will be my cars first road trip, atleast my car gets good fuel economy till we have to first gear up the Coquihalla pass... (long and steep climb)
Can get some Nice pics tho.

CRC (Canadian Rally Cross??) is in Merritt BC. Noticed the cars parked behind Canadian Tire along with a tech inspection area.. Always wanted to enter a rally, I have alot of dirt road experience to. From dirt bikes, Dune buggies, FF-FR trucks and cars. Maybe i will build a S12 for it... Current car is too clean to do that
ProlowtoneOct 3, 2011, 10:23 pm · #181

Well car is aligned and got some new floor mats, just need my new suspension now. Some Camber adjustment and 2" of toe adjustment and the car drives great, No more pulling on bumps :D .
And i get to put new tires on the front tomorrow so i can put my 17s back on and save the 15s for winter

lol nothing against you, just sometimes dirt roads piss me off lol mainly shitty washboard on them
ProlowtoneOct 14, 2011, 12:47 am · #200

Yeah, Understandable. I lived on dirt roads for years in Northern Alberta (Rainbow Lake). Had enough washboard to last me a lifetime huh
