My new daily-The X-Wing

So my not beloved 96 b14 Sentra died a awesome death. It was raining for 3 days straight here and a road I take to go to school has a bunch of dips in it. Well with the recent rain some of the dips has started filling up. I made it over the first mini river no problems but then came across this behemouth.

Seeing other cars made it through I said fuck it. So I went in, the motor started bogging and plop it died. I was halfway through, I floated another 5 feet or so to where I was only 10 feet from the end.:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Luckily some guys in a truck came and pulled me the rest of the way out until the tow truck came.

Got it home and it had dried out so I went to start it. I was greeted by the sound of victory er I mean death of the motor. ROD KNOCK. Knowing the car was now dead I needed a new daily within 24hrs as I had school on Monday.

I got to searching on cars.com and looked at several cars. Merc E320, Lxues GS300, SC3/400, E46, plus much more. My dad kept telling me to just get a camry or ford escort:rofl I was tired of tin can shitboxes so I kept on the search.

Until I found it. A bone stock unmolested 1993 URs4 with 142000 on the dot. It was located an hour and a half away. My dad took me up there and I looked over the car, test drove it and scared the shit out of the salesman and mechanic.

$2050 Big ones later and it was mine.

I am going to wash it, scrub the inside and just drive it for now. I did put a filter on just for the whoosh and whistle:rofl I know I am ricer.

There arent real modding plans for it, just upgrading when something needs replaced.

Needs
Tachometer fixed or new cluster
Brakes
Front axles boots
Sunroof dial
Dome light switch
Taillights
Headlight Lenses
Fluids
Motor Mounts

Congrats on the new ride Matt! I took a ride in one of those before, way back in 99, dude scared the shit outta me going down I-83 doing a buck 20. Dat interior is tuff as fuck! 20 years old, still dope.

Thanks Greg! The car is fun and comfortable everything the sentra wasnt.

Looks like the perfect choice to tango with a raptor...LOL!

Clean car for its age...

I recieved the 034 motorsports track density motor mounts today. After reading about them more I wish I would have just gotten the mustang mounts, but I couldnt find exactly how they mount and what modifications need to be done to them. So if these blow it will be onto the mustang mounts.

Also got my some of my rockauto maintenance order in. Centric front and rear rotors, and two new CV boots for the front outer. Since my axles are not making noises just the boots are exploded I am doing boots for now.

Centric Rotors, New CV Boot by slammedsedan, on Flickr

Is that going in a galant or the Audi?

Funny cuz i need the same thing. Rotors and front driver side boot exploded on me too. Time to pull out the pressure washer and degreaser. Are you getting a weird water leak on your front driver side floor by any chance?

Like I said not much for the build just more general maintenance and upgrade when broken kinda build. This car for the time being will not be like any other URS4 AAN running around that is a monster this will be a mild daily.

Seems fitting.

But I did the motor mounts and holy shit were they spent.

The completely broken one was the passenger the otehr was the driver. The drivers side had been compresed about 1/4 of an inch front when the motor would torque onto it.

Changed the plugs today. I will pull them out at the end of the week to see how they look.

I have no clue how old the ones in there were but from the looks of it

Cyl 1-Loose, oil on top, plug color indicates rich.
Cyl 2- Loose, oil on top, plug color indicates hot/lean
Cyl 3- Extremely tight, plug indicates slightly rich/ spot on
Cyl 4-^^^
Cyl 5-^^

I am going to need valve cover seals eventually.

I also replaced the boost lines that go to the FPR, and ECU with new lines and new T. The car pulls amazing now. Also did the wastegate line. Same results the power seems more linear than before.

Havent done much to the car besides drive it. I have put 2.1k on it already. I need to finish catching up on preventive maintenance and then I can do little things.

The last bit of maintenance for the car is
T-belt
Water Pump
Serp belt
MFTI
Thermostat
Coolant flush
Trans Fluid
Rear diff fluid

That should set the car up for regular maintenance as required from there.

I have ordered enough vinyl to do the roof and trunk. I am going to start on that during break. Along with the rest of the maintenance. Also a headunit is on the plans as well.

I did reindeerify the car for Christmas.

2k for an s4? that is kind of unhear of where im from, the a4's go for 2k lol.

It is unheard of here as well. If the paint was good on the car it would pull 4.5k easily. People see the shitty paint and think neglect.

Never knew you grabbed a S4. Congrats and I'm a big fan of the car. And the reindeer stuff.

Yeah I picked it up on october over in New Hope, PA
