Joeys s13 2012 New Sponsors

[drifterjoey]

Hey everyone this is my 2011 s13 hatch build. I have had the car for a few years sitting around and this December i was able to started this build. Stock 1990 s13 Se with the KA24E 5 speed. I had the engine rebuilt when i bought it. It needed a ton of TLC!! Still more TLC coming this month. Next i transplanted the Recaro seats from an 06 Evo. which was short lived, pulled them out and sold them for the new seat.

Here are the pics from December before i started.


Here is the Recaro on drivers side.

Here is the new wheel.

Next was a set of Halo lights and drift wheels.



Will post more updates soon.

I found more build pictures. Stripped out the interior and then the sound deadening.  





Next i refurbished the massively cracked dash. Picture is after i sanded, foamed, and started bondo on the dash.

Next is where i stopped after rethinking the last 6 hrs of work knowing this is a race car and not a show car. Still way better then the cracked dash.



More to come as i find and upload the pictures. Looking forward to Vegas Drift ProAm 2011.
