Re: JDM180SX aka Scout Troopers's PHASE 2 OEM/ JDM/ DD RESTORATION
it took me a solid day with a scraper and wire brushes to get all the built up grime out of all the crevices. once that was done i used crushed walnut media blast and went to town. it wasnt strong enought to strip to bare metal, but it finished beating all the grime and loose particles off. i ended up using that VHT chassis black epoxy paint in 3 coats. it turned out good, but powdercoating would have been a longer lasting setup. i know Sage is closer to you...see what they will charge to do it.

They're around $225-$275 depending on where you buy them. The 044 is an inline pump just like the Walbro you got.

i might be pushing close to 240 whp, but no more without doing internal work or bigger turbo.

Re: JDM180SX aka Scout Troopers's PHASE 2 OEM/ JDM/ DD RESTORATION
well i havnt given up on this build just everything i need is going to cost a grip. i need 1 more year to finish this and do it justice. it took 3.5 yrs to build it to get featured. so it will be 2yrs this coming august since i stripped it down and started fresh. i know alot of people were asking me @ the Spring Meet where the car was.
* i did pick up some rare oem 180sx kouki floor mats...pretty mint. i scored these from DR. SILVIA on EBAY. now i can get rid of the fakes
* i also have been waiting on FORTUNE-AUTO's rear arms. I did get the toe arms a few months ago and im waiting on the RUCA's to arrive ill mount the whole subframe at one time when i get them installed.
* i just need to install the front bumper components/ get the rest of my fuel cell fittings and tank mounted/ get wheels and get car resprayed.
* no worries im not running DRS wheels and what ever wheels i buy they will be 17" not 16"

I was always told that the rotors should go the other way.
Or is this a common misconception that I have been tricked into believing?.
Oh yeah.....Looking good dude. Now I just need to get my s14 back on the road.
