German S13 Chuki Project CA18DET

[Chuki]

so my work was done!
my first 500km i drive without bumper to check leaks @ oilcooler
then i finished the body. an was on my way to run the engine in^^





but after a while
another one comes into play:

my father found this pretty one @ ebay for 1300€
and we want to drive there just for checking the condition
after a testride in snow there
in 2nd Gear engine stopped revving higher than 5000rpm
and i turned back to this guy
then i saw how the tube in front of the the throttle was drawing together
so i checked the airfilter
and it looked like that:


a little animal (kind is unknowen because the turbo killed it) was sitting in there an waiting for his destiny^^


so gave this guy 400€ for this car and tow it to me home
later i changed the intercooler with the animal inside
and put another turbo in and it RUNNED great.


Why RUNNED???

check this:

the car was equipped with an autogas system which was since 2005 disused
and switched of
but this succers let the gas in
so there were a full gastank
and my dad started to take this shit apart
and it ended up like this:




my dad deleted this fire and saved at least the rest of the car

[Chuki]

so beacause i cant get a car like a S13 at junkyard
a friend of mine get this car
he got to much time and a second S13 which is horroble destroyed of rust
and this one "is only burned" but not rusty
so he decided to fix it up



so we started to mess out and cut all windows out
clean the inside from dirt an water
take it completely apart

me on the car my friends right an his girl in back^^


and he decided also that he will put a RB25DET inside
so we joked around:


now my friend has taken more pictures
and he will set some more pics of this car in........

[Chuki]

i went out of money in cause of the new engine and other stuff
so i decide to put this parts in which i saved for bad times:

an recaro SR found on ebay for 100€
was like new never driven^^

so i weld a console:


and put the Sparco belts in:


and my work was done.


then
i found other rims in my basement
which fits perfect on mine
so here are the new socks of my car:


and a littel pic of our meet 6 weeks ago:

[Chuki]

and know i'm driving around looking for some drift events
and 2 weeks ago another sweet S14 needs my help
i'm sure you know this car:



The refresher:


a coil pack was burned
and the plug too
so i took my tools and drove 300km there to this event
where im actually want to drive there to be a civilist and watch other cars
but i went back to mechanic
called Matt_s because there was another prob too
i found it engine runs great. Respect to you Matt nice ride!

and i was invite to joined IDC run on Nordschleife as passanger!

arrived there found another cool ride:


so that was my little story about "want to help a friend and getting this freaky adventure in 3 years"

so the guys of IDC like me and i like them to
and keep an eye on this beatiful cars too!

[Corey_XR4I]

[EDnovaStarlet]

looks like you got a real clean car to start with and de-spoilered too!

Let that be a lesson to all LPG can burn your car to bits, let a pro drain your tank first! Me I would of got it serviced / repair and ran it LPG!

so after a few drift-days around here
time to work on car again
as you maybe read in my other thread
i was looking for a roll cage
so i called Peter@ Fabricage
very good cage for a very good price
cause the freightment cost was as same as the cage
i decided to pick it up in UK

thats a short version of the story

yesterday i build it in my S13
