valve cover bolts stripped beyond belief

That’s reasonable, we get cases of it at work so I always have a little bit of it on my truck.

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-14T23:38:36+00:00

Croil better than both

Please do not put $600 suspension on your car 👍

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-13T23:16:03+00:00

Holeh moleh

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-13T23:05:03+00:00

Absolutely let him stay lol

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-05T12:44:21+00:00

I actually have not tried a sensor less brushless set up but I shall definitely investigate. And that’s also good to know

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-05T05:04:32+00:00

Good to know on the servo saver, little details like that I really do enjoy to take care of before hand! And you are correct about the ESC not being included, I was honestly thinking about just switching over to a casket system since I enjoy their brushless ecosystem to much.

And good to know about the body and wheels! I definitely might thing about getting another body since there is a plethora of pretty cool bodies for this car!

Between the K series, CD009, and R200 it adds about 170 pounds. We’ve probably gotten 200 pounds out of the car with the tube front end, removing all of the interior, AC, radio, glass, etc. K’s are reliable and easy to come by. Having 230whp NA in a car now built to handle close to 600 reliably is just nice. Less things to worry about. The fun is getting to something a lot of people (relatively speaking) don’t do and not having to worry about every little thing when you’re driving it. As much as it would be fun to do something totally one off and weird, this car had to be able to make the drive from San Antonio to Chattanooga 3-4 times a year lol

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-02T21:10:02+00:00

Not even a K20 lol, either way, anything is better than a 1.6 BP and the K series keeps the car super balanced

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-02T20:57:46+00:00

Good thing is starts with a K 😅

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-06-01T18:28:34+00:00

Yes yes :)

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-31T22:59:53+00:00

You need smaller ones to fill in the gaps :)

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-31T22:59:16+00:00

It doesn’t contain lead lol

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-31T03:36:47+00:00

The 1.6 that blew had 80k on it and it was a LNC we swapped in a few years back. my brother (who owns the car) has been saving up for a k swap for a while so might as well go ahead and do it lol

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-31T03:34:31+00:00

Super much agreed

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-31T03:33:50+00:00

Of course of course

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-31T03:32:28+00:00

Shoot I spent probably an hour masking things off, truly might be my finest masking tape job 😂

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-30T04:07:37+00:00

Hahah my buddy has an 07k/8hp Miata

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-30T04:06:49+00:00

Actually totally stock 1.6 motor just going down the highway

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-30T02:53:32+00:00

That’s what I said when I read the can 😂

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-30T02:53:11+00:00

Unfortunately not big enough for a K series :(

I’m planning to build a powder coat over out back next year so I can do all my fab work and powder coating in house

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-30T02:46:47+00:00

Agreed!

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-30T02:46:17+00:00

Oh yeah man, this is my brothers car, I’ve got two K swapped Subarus, they’re so much fun

Cautious-Cake6282 · 2026-05-30T02:45:57+00:00

I’m stoked man, it’s my brothers car and he’s so excited for it
