I had a real “Frank” in Old School weekend. I got so much done. I don’t know how it happened. Here’s a recap starting with the pic above. The weather was finally nice, so I rolled the car out of the garage to have more room to work. My goals [...]

How to: Throttle Body Rebuild / Assembly / Disassembly
Posted in How to:, Steve on February 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
For anyone at a loss on how to disassemble their throttle body, I put together a “how to” when took mine apart. This was for a stock S14 DOHC KA throttle body, but the steps should more or less apply to any throttle body of similar design – Q45, Z32, SR, SOHC KA, RB, [...]

Update. Up to date. Bunch of small stuff going on. The engine bay looked all awesome – as shown in the above pic – after powder coating the pipes and installing the DEI Titanium turbo blanket/wrap…but, it was not to last. I prepped it for start up, started it, and my [...]

As I was looking through my pics, I found some pictures from our trip to Chicago a few years ago. While we were there, we visited AMS and Touge Factory. I thought it would be fun to share.
At the time, AMS was just getting into the KA with turbo240.com. I [...]
Hulk Smash: Creature Comforts.

With the car painted and the weather cold, it was time to reassemble the interior with some of the bits and pieces I had accumulated. This was February-ish 2009. A good job to do in a cold garage. Anyway, you can see it was an absolute mess. I put the S14 [...]

I mocked up the intercooler and got it fitted in the core support area. However, I managed to take some absolute crap quality pictures of most of what was involved in getting it to fit. So instead, let’s look at the piping fabrication. The pic above was our starting point.
B&A: Garage Clean-up

So, I have been doing a piss poor job of keeping up with the site. I worked on the garage the other day – here’s a quick before and after (B&A, duh). As you can see above, the garage was an unorganized shithole. Greg has a knack for never picking up a [...]

Hulk Smash: Caterpillar to Coccoon

Hulk Smash becomes a refined gentleman! Here is the starting point for the bodywork. It doesn’t look too bad – straight rust free body. At this point, I had big plans. You will see how those unfold. As I mentioned before, the green doors are rust free replacements for the original white doors. Also, in [...]
