Thanks for the input R33. I'm leaning towards rb25 for sure. but it will have to wait until later on in the winter

for the time being here is a teaser of the S13 maplight turned custom turbo timer enclosure.

Not too much has gone due to a lack of funds. Looks like the car is going into storage for a bit. I got a new job and its a longer commute, so civic it is. going to look at a few tomorrow.

I am going to keep the car and rebuild it in the spring. I have pieced together some aero so maybe i'll even get the car painted and fix the ugly ass dent in the passenger rear.

Picked up some east bear mirrors and snabbed a pathfinder din pocket/ cupholder thing

I like.

RB25DET will produce more hp with similar turbo at lower boost level. Stock RB25DET with 550cc injectors, 255-300lph fuelpump, 3" exhaust from turbo, podfilter, BOV, Link G4 ECU with IAT sensor, boost control solenoid is good for around 322rwhp at roughly 10psi with stock turbo. I think that's with pushing the ECU tune to the limit's with fueling, timing.

So. Skyline is back in brockville for winter storage. I recently got a new job designing components for trains, streetcars and subways. Recently did work on the lights for the new streetcars toronto is getting next year

Picked up a car i can rack up kms on. got it with 160kms. No rust on rear quarters. but its got some dins and dents. not bad for 2400 cert etested.

the best part is i get 550kms for $35. i can see the appeal of civics. But it boggles me how people cant make them cool. parts can be found at 7/11 and cost less than bag of chips.

Since the car is in storage, i had to take it off insurance. So depending if desjardins will take it back next year or not i may wait it out and get classic insurance the summer after next. the car needs lots of tlc and i hope to bring it back to its former glory

Job sounds awesome btw.

Rarely on this site any more now that im not driving the car daily.

I have been discussing with my parents about storing the car at their place. We own a downtown store front in brockville and have converted what were the 2 apartments into a single living space and loft. Its pretty neat. Their parking area is big enough for approx 6 cars, but its behind in a sort of ally area. Building a garage was out of the question due to zoning and all the legalities of building in a downtown core not to mention the cost.

my dad came up with the idea retrofitting a shipping container so i can have a (small) work space and store the car in.

Something like this

the rolly doors in the side allow access to the car (shipping containers are narrow). they are relatively inexpensive when you compare it to renting a storage unit longterm and dont require building permits as they are not permanent structures.

I also moved up in the company i started at so i decided to reward myself with some cool 90's tommykaira aero.

Shipping for the skirts was ridiculous so im trying to get them to separate the rear valance. hopefully it works out.

The car is set to be off the road for a year or two until i can get classic car insurance under my own name and to swap it to hopefully make some decent jam.

thanks for reading.
