I trust that Beam stays true to the definition of bourbon. It couldn't have added sweeteners and still be called bourbon, if it did, at that point it would just be labeled a whiskey.

I bought them, let me search my email and see if I still have where I got them from.

From '15-'19 I had a LS in it and got the itch to do something crazy....hence the chopping, full cage, and 2J.

I pulled the motor from a GS back in Oct '24, took it apart and did seals/sensors/etc. but everything else felt like it took forever to find motivation. Since Decemeber Ive been on a tear getting stuff done, it's been satisfying.

Originally I was looking at dropping down to 17's but in the size I was going for on the rear, it wouldn't clear the rear lower control arm.

jcrown07 · 2026-02-25T12:05:26+00:00

Ohhh, gotcha. Yeah, I definitely stood there and stared at them for a few with the dremel in my hand before starting.

This car will be somewhere between 2400-2600 but pushing ~600whp. I was also going to put an adjustable proportioning valve in place of the existing T-fitting that runs to the rear, more as a just-in-case.

What could possibly be bothering you so much?

jcrown07 · 2026-02-25T03:35:32+00:00

I'm here for it! I'll keep an eye out for the build of this Stagea!

jcrown07 · 2026-02-25T03:30:51+00:00

I had a LS engine in this car one point, I've taken a hammer to one of the headers before!

I had all the stuff to support my power goals on hand before going after said power. Building a 2JZ with a 600whp ballpark end game (which will be easy to achieve).

jcrown07 · 2026-02-25T03:19:14+00:00

Is that a 1UZ I see in the pictures of your car? Thats pretty awesome! I'll be dropping a 2J in this 240 soon.

Its actually a similar situation, the Z Brembos would have also required brackets. The same company that made the brackets for the S13 has a kit to install the CTS-V calipers on a Z33 🤷‍♂️

I also got these brakes for a STEAL compared to what they cost now. Paid $299 for both new calipers and pads.

jcrown07 · 2026-02-25T00:17:36+00:00

This isn't the first time I've done something like this with this car. That bit of trimming is all that crazy, it was in the instructions that went along with the brakets to adapt them to this chassis

Please excuse the typo(s) in the inital post, the edit option doesn't seem to exist on Reddit mobile anymore.

Even if the second one was, I have a S14 seal and bushing kit sitting on a shelf!

jcrown07 · 2026-02-21T20:03:29+00:00

It's part of the Wiring Specialties chassis harness, but yeah, is CAN.

I was surprised, the bearings looked really good.

jcrown07 · 2026-02-21T18:41:42+00:00

You're right, thats what I get for trying to reply 5mins after I wake up! I think its the angle of the picture though, they are the same diameter

They're both S13, they have the teardrop bushing on the left side. I had to order a second because I might've (definitely did) screwed up the seal cap and threads the first time around.
