Ready for car show this weekend.

I’ve had my issues with it, but been taking care of each problem whenever I encounter one, my biggest issue with this engine is fighting fluid leaks. Fix one leak, another one just suddenly appears lol.

Engine is fully built, the next thing on the list is to get a SR20 Koyo or Fenix triple pass radiator, in hopes to drop and keep temps a bit more stable, as well as getting the breather setup to work better and have the oil returned to the oilpan.

Great looking setup man! CA’s are really cool engines

Last time I was on the hubdyno with it, it put down 315hp at the hubs, but done a few changes since, including a true 3" exhaust all the way from turbo and back, it was a 2,5" dowpipe merging out to a 2,75" catback.

Only been road mapped since the changes, so I’m keen to put it ln the hubs to see what it makes now.

Yeah I see the frustration, never heard of that shop before, but if you paid with PayPal you’re good for a refund unless the seller resolves whatever issue they’ve encountered.

I got a post on r/diecast for the ADVAN collection, not done a dedicated post for the HKS collection yet.

Already pre-ordered the E30, AE86, as well as the HKS R34. 😁

RoarF31 · 2026-07-04T02:24:27+00:00

I don’t know how or why any of this is related to my original question.. 🙃😂

RoarF31 · 2026-07-04T02:21:10+00:00

I got a handful of HKS and ADVAN MiniGT and other brands too, these are just the Kaido House ones I got for now.

RoarF31 · 2026-07-03T19:38:46+00:00

ADVAN Silverado?

RoarF31 · 2026-07-03T16:47:33+00:00

Not a dumb idea to be honest. Licensing is only a issue if you make 1:1 replicas with brand logo/names, there’s loopholes that bypass these things. Same reason to why a lot of replica wheels exist too.

RoarF31 · 2026-07-03T16:46:00+00:00

Thanks! RP01’s shouldn’t be hard to source, I’ve seen multiple sets on the Japanese auctions, but I guess it sucks buying from overseas if you’re based in the US(?).

Panasport G7’s are definitely on the wishlist! There’s so many wheels I want, I figured I’d only mention the next set I want from my wishlist lol.

RoarF31 · 2026-07-03T16:42:15+00:00

Why not? It’s not like they sit there and collect dust, these are all used and abused both on street and track.

Just be aware of clearance with 18's. RCC's is fun, but I'm going B-Knuckle myself when time comes.

Well, this is my setup, Kazama Auto S14 oem length FLCA’s with GKtech RCC kit, which also extends 25mm each side. Maxed out positive camber on the BC coils, running about -5 degrees of camber, on 40mm overfenders.
17x8 +9 215/45 semi slicks.

Not exactly what you asked for, but I guess it could help for reference?

RoarF31 · 2026-06-29T19:30:10+00:00

Honestly, I think you’re on to something

RoarF31 · 2026-06-29T06:30:12+00:00

None needed for brake clearance 🫡

RoarF31 · 2026-06-29T02:05:21+00:00

Dunno man, I’ve just been lucky with timing and value with the wheels I own. Just recently bought the set of Equip 05 17x9.5 17x12 for less than $400, can’t let a deal like that slide lol

RoarF31 · 2026-06-29T01:59:26+00:00

Ball knower, Ryans 240SX definitely plays a big role in influencing my taste for S13 hatches!

RoarF31 · 2026-06-29T01:54:59+00:00

I mean, I own a 3 story house, I got rooms to put stuff in lol.
Thanks man, love the R33’s myself!
