90ACCORDLXGUY: 1989 Nissan S13

About a week ago I got a pair of sideskirts for $80 and the guy threw in a rear bumper lip for free. The doors have to be lifted up slightly to get them to fit as they are pretty thick fiberglass.

I'm thinking if I have enough money after I get this running that I will paint it
since I could always use more practice. Thinking of a color similar to what
is already on it but will actually clear the paint.

HOK Zenith Gold...

Took a couple updated photos, finally got one of the sideskirts on just need to do other side. Had to move the door to get it on.

Today I worked on making brackets for my front bumper so I can mount it to the car. Turned out decent and is pretty sturdy. Threw my pignose lip on too.

Wow, that looks great compared to the way you received it! I'm not a fan of the pig nose, but I'm anxious to see how this thing turns out.
And thumbs up on the Blitz 01's, I'm running a set on my BB6 as well.

Thanks man! Just got to work on making the rear bumper fit. Too
many wall taps and tandems have resulted in the driver side being hella
pushed in. Oh well, I'll figure out a way to get it on there.

Thanks, yeah they look good on your prelude. I'm going to polish my lips and
find some tires so I can use them on my accord.

Now have a KA24E in my possession! Came with a tranny, motor mounts,
and everything else to hook it up except an engine harness but think I found
one. Going to be putting it in thursday or friday! Just need a radiator and I
could have it running this week!

ewwwwww a sohc ka

Those boosted are torque monsters.

ewwwwww a sohc ka

For 200 bucks I couldn't complain. The car originally had a sohc so it makes it easier.

Those boosted are torque monsters.

I think it will remain stock for now. Ultimate plan is to get a solid CA18 for it in the future.


Should have updates today, going over and hopefully putting the motor in.

Driver side JDM Tiger seat...

Wing I was going to put on, might end up making my own as this one isn't as curved as the hatch.

Rear bumper jammed on, lol...

Oh what is this...

DSC_2656npb by NButtz, on Flickr

The time has come...

Finally in! Had some trouble cause it still had some emissions stuff on it.

Seat in!

Hoping to find an engine harness within the next month or two as well as a couple more things so it will run! Thanks for looking.

What's easier to swap that engine or a cb engine?

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

I would say this is a little bit easier. Mainly cause you aren't trying to tilt the motor sideways like in a cb, just pitch the transmission down, lower, push in and repeat until it is in for a RWD.

I can see this car a gunmetal color

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

That is what color it was originally. I'm thinking a little bit different gold than
what is on it and actually clear it so it shines. But for right now it will look
just like this, haha.
