I guess it's been a while since I did an update haha,
well, since august a lot has happened, so I'll try and post what I remember haha.
I managed to score a 2013 subaru R180 Torsen LSD through work for $300 Canadian(basically $100 for you Americans now haha), wit only 20k on it. The downfall is it's only 3:54's gears right now but we'll see how it drives and I may keep them, or upgrade to some 3:90s or 4:11s.
Incase you guys don't remember, the whole reason I needed to upgrade to the R180 was because of this...
So since it's the winter months, I also decided to tear the turbo and stuff off since I was having a few issues. The turbo was burning a little bit of oil, the exhaust was leaking, and just a few other small issues.
Turns out the oil issue was just having the wrong oil restrictor on it(or basically lack there of haha)
but everything went back together fine and just waiting on my next bit of work on the car, so I can get it to run and make sure everything's fine.
Since the 510 was getting more reliable, I decided to bite the bullet and buy an oil cooler so my temp doesn't keep climbing during highway driving.
I bought a universal mishimoto kit with a thermastatic sandwich plate.
They ended up forgetting to send me a fitting with the kit, so I had to order a new one, and since I was at it I decided I'd use a oil relocation kit I've had stored away forever so I ordered a few more fittings and hoses through work.(I'm still waiting on the actual fitting for the sandwich plate though as it's on backorder haha).
I ended up having to modify my motor mount as the sandwich plate didn't want to clear too well.
Also decided on ordering a wideband as I purchased a Nistune ECU a while back and finally going to put it to good use and get some tuning done.
Here's a picture from since my last post. After taking this photo and getting back on the road, a deer jumped out in front of me after I got back up to highway speeds. FUN FUN FUN.
One reason I haven't really been updating on the forums too much is because I've been too busy working and trying to decide what to do with my other project.
The reason I'm trying to decide what to do is because the motor decided it wanted to overheat and cook itself when I was driving it to put it in storage.
Incase you're wondering what it is.
It's a pro-street 1982 Cavalier(well Clone.. It's a Firenza shell) hatchback, converted to rear wheel drive with a V8(sbc).
I've been wanting to sell it so I can buy a '55 chev, but noone would ever give me anything for it as a rolling chassis. I've even had it posted haha.
So the plan now I guess if it really doesn't sell, is to shove a 5.3 LS I bought off my coworker into it, with a turbo kit.
It's kind of hard bouncing back between two projects like this haha.
But here's some more photos I've forgot to post incase anyone enjoys!
My datsun with my dad's '55 hardtop.
The more pictures there are, the less boring it is, right? hahaah
