In the past 80 minutes:
1. Got PS belt, PVC valve, oil, air filter
2. Went to shop and installed all of the above
3. Installed above listed parts
4. Fixed vacume lines. It runs so much better now
5. Had a friend track me down cuz he found an s13 for $1200
6. Went home, ordered pizza, took a shower, made this post

Now im gonna clean some tools outta the lude, eat some pizza and then go check out the s13.

With the money i get from the lude, there's suspension, SR20DET, FMIC and some other goodies

horray for me!

Expensive? :lol: I helped my buddy install his H22A, so he sells me his h23 for $125.

There wasnt any expense except $10 for some welding (exhaust). There wasnt anything hard about it really. Putting the h23 in was a bit of a pain in the buttox. it took over 2 hrs with 2 ppl doing it to get that sucker to line up in the mounts. I think part of it was just lack of experience though.

The difference in power is way more than i expected and the motor runs great for having been sitting around for a year. guess some new plugs would help


About 6 months ago, i lost my coat. Inside my coat where my wheel cap keys and my lug nut keys. It took about 6 hours to get 2 lug nuts off I need to get some new lugs today.
