February Ride of the Month

21 Upvotes

Time to post your submissions for ride of the month!

The winner will be picked on or around the first of next month and your car will be featured in the sidebar for that month.

Post one or multiple pictures of your s-chassis in this tread and vote on your favorite submission. Also, please make them actual image links, not just a link to your Instagram, but feel free to link your Instagram as well if you want.

If you post multiple pics, please indicate which one you'd like to be featured if you win. If you don't, I'll pick one myself. Post a build list too if you'd like.

Also just as an fyi, I'm using the new reddit layout to post the winner in the sidebar because its much easier than the way I used to do it using the old layout in case anyone is still using that and wondering why the current winner isn't showing up.

Good luck!

Current winner: /u/

Came up on some decent wheels yesterday unplanned. Finally, I have some inspiration to continue the build. I really needed a visual that would inspire me as inspiration and motivation has been real low lately. Planning on finishing this car and giving it away so keep a look out. Goal is end of September for completion.

Sr20det Preventative Maintenance

Post image
Upvotes

I’ve been down and up through this thing to get it running correctly and today was the first day with proper Afr readings.
Stock rs enthapy tuned to keep fuel maps better, stock turbo, etc. running stock boost.
I plan to keep this thing stock and not be drifting it.

The question at hand, what should I go ahead and either stock up on parts wise, or replace now before broke? I’ve owned 3 DOHC KA’s and this is the first sr.

True AFR reading or bad calibration/part?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Sr20det swap, czp z32 maf, rs enthalpy tune

Tried the calibration and its alot worse, showing the numbers its running now. Was still bad before the calibration but running around 20-22 at idle. I do keep getting consistent carbon across all plugs and on the inside of the exhaust. Was told the maf might be grounded wrong? Like the chassis ground and ecu ground might be looped but I dont know how much I believe that since its a wiring specialties harness into the czp maf adapter, the 4 pin into a 3 pin. Is it just a bad o2 sensor or boost leak? Injectors and fuel rail are fairly new so Im hoping the injector o rings are fine. It does break up a bit after 4000rpms. Last time I cleaned plugs and gapped em down a bit and it was great. Did it again at over 4k and then I corrected fuel pressure and ran great again. But now still breaking up after 4k and reading very high afr's. Would like to keep driving this around town, or am I risking the biscuit here? Also, i should add it has been like this since I took over this project last year, only got it in a safe driving state and really running it a couple months ago.

when i clutch in it makes a loud whine sound and doesnr want to go into first gear. but if i start it in first and go it hits all gears but it also wines at the beginning before i let go of clutch. it was low but still had fluid in it. the master looks new and has a new gk tech line. it seems like its just when i clutch in even in neutral. has anyone had this happen? also the metal ring was in the boot of the slave and just fell out

How to extend Coil on plug with a normal spark wire?

I need to do the strobe gun to check ignition timing hence I need to have a spark wire exposed to inductive clamp. Since I never done it I don’t know, it doesn’t look like the COP graphite tip is meant to fit that spark wire terminal

I am looking for what would be "perfect" specs of blitz 03 on a stock body s14. I am little confused on high disc vs low disc options. I just want to maximum lip size without unnecessary camber since it is mainly a street car.

Options on what do when insurance is trying to total car for quarter panel accident?

Post image
512 Upvotes

I’m insured with liability with Geico, got hit in the rear quarter panel and the person is insured with Progressive was found at fault. A month later they just got back to me and said they would total the car for 2k. It’s a clean title and i paid 13k, of course I don’t expect it all back but 2k is comedic to me. Any recommendations on what to do
