Yea that's life tho, full of bullshit... you just gotta make the best of it. Anyways why u selling ur car?
I have another update too, I bought a 3 inch stainless steel cat back exhaust for the car. It's a no name but that doesnt really matter since it's a turbo car all that really matters is that it's 3 inch. Ill post some pics later.

Another quick update I went and picked up another Recaro SRD seat tonight, so my passenger side will have a seat again. Geoff from Thunderdrift said he may stop by tonight and give the footage he has of me from the last track day, which would sick cuz he got chase footage of me! Anyways that's it for now I'll take some pics and update more later.

I'm interested in seeing the chase footage. But I owe the bank $1500, becuase some guy F***ed me over with a check. But I'm either gonna by the car back from Mikey or get another one

Well Geoff finally gave me his footage from Thunderdrift in December, it's only about a minute and half but at least it has chase footage! Oh and if you use windows movie maker you will find out like i did that there are a lot of glitches including when you make credits and titles... words and letters come up missing when they shouldn't be. Anyways the link is below.

Ok another update... for some of you who know me and what I wanted to do with this car you may want to sit down for this news.
I bought an S14 SR20DET motorset today... lol I know what most of you will say is "I thought u were going with an RB", well I was but almost a month ago I had the money for it and couldnt get anyone to sell me an RB25DET swap. All the vendors I was going to go through for the RB wouldnt get back to me or were out of RB's, so after waiting and waiting with no luck or response I decided to just get an S14 SR swap since it was available and was a really good price.
So the power plant in my car will now be out of a JDM S14 Silvia with 91,962KM/55177Miles on the odometer.

I ordered a few new pars for the motor so that when it gets here I can slam dunk it with new parts. I picked up an Exedy clutch kit, new nissan water pump and a Nismo lower temp thermostat. Now all i need is the basics like hoses, filters, spark plugs and fluids.
PS: I just put my RB mounts and drive shaft up for sale on Nico in the RB section.

Nice so where did you get your sr from i need to seriously start lookin at motors cause the rings on the ka are going but this should be sweet for you since you smash with the ka with sr this will be bomb

I got my swap from Gabe at the Augusta GA location of Jhot Imports their website is here http://www.jhotimports.com/
It was a really good deal, the only issue is the shipping from GA to CA is expensive cuz of the dam gas prices. Even tho it was still cheaper than venus and other places by a grand or more. They have a great feedback on Ebay, not to mention tons of rep on Nicoclub.com, as well as they are like a 5000+ verified member of paypal.

ITS HERE, ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
lol so yea my motor is here and its fucking clean! Other than a lil bit of oil residue/dust on the inlet side of the compressor it's perfect. The residue and dust is most likely from when the motor was pulled in Japan. Pretty much everything on it looks good, spark plugs were cool, inside the valve cover looked clean and the turbo spun so nice with minimal shaft play which they are suppossed to have a lil anyway. I can't freaking wait to put this thing in!
I took some pics of the motor as well as some of the other parts and changes I have made to the car.
Nissan S14 SR water pump, oil filters, oil plug crush washers, Z32 TT fuel filter and a Nismo lower temp thermostat.
Here is an updated pic of my seats.
Now for the new heart of the beast... S14 SR20DET swap from Jhot.
It's like Xmas!!!
Lots of parts and some I dont even need.
Inside look thru the oil cap, looks pretty dam clean to me!
Turbo!
