My ps13 "build"

[ronan_nash]

So two years ago I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy myself a ps13
After two months of searching and finding nothing in ireland I decided to look further afield and with the help of jdm auction watch I purchased this beautiful clean example pretty much standard and had a sunroof exactly what I was looking for.
BBS wheels cusco coilovers a cat back exhaust aftermarket steering wheel bucket seat turbo timer hks mushroom filter and cusco strut was all that was done to her
Now it was just a waiting game
The car landed 3months to the day of me telling Paddy of jdm auction watch that Was The car for me
This is what she looked like after just a quick wash

Next up was vrt
That took a considerable chunk of cash and after 5 nct's (nct and brick headlights don't go well together) she was taxed and ready for road.
I drove it like this for a few weeks after a huge service and just fell in love
I bought two red recaros but decided they wouldn't suit the old school 90s drift missile look I was going for and they were sold and this was bought off jdmdistro

Now that I was comfortable it was time to get the car sitting the way I wanted it on some proper old school wheels.
After two or three wheels searching these popped up in Cork and I snapped them up
Threw them on and with a little adjustment Of The coilovers I was happy with how she was sitting

I was still quite entertained with the standard power but being 1992 she's emissions exempt so out came the cat. While the car was on the lift we cut the downpipe, shortened it and welded all back up because it was catching the road.
I also had shotgun exhaust made up as well by Gary Cunningham in Loughrea

The car stayed like this for months because I was back to being a poor college student. After japfest 2016 the car was put off the road and a walbro 255 pump was put in.
Unfortunately I was in a bad car accident and the car didn't move for months
When I was finally able I started the car and we had a fuel leak and the thermostat was sticking.
Fixed these and there was still one weeks nct left so I brought it for a spin when the inevitable happened... A noise every sr owner dread. Thing started knocking, oil pump had failed here's a picture from japfest 2016

thats class!! so nice and clean, like the few mods so far

At least this allowed me to build the engine I wanted right?
Car was sent off to Petko and the engine was fully rebuilt race bearings forged pistons bc springs 14 oil pump etc etc
We also put in a new clutch
Engine is now ready for big power when I'm finished college and can afford the supporting mods (turbo injectors etc)
