some background of what happened.
sold the s13 :/ shouldve never done that. i thought i wanted a vip car.
got a 99 q45T awesome car. drove it till a few weeks ago. and traded for this s14.
there were A LOT of things wrong with it.
the trans would grind from 4th to 5th and in reverse. (previous owner said it was the shifter, i bought a new short throw and it didnt really fix anything)
came with
stock front bumper and a "invader" style bumper which i threw away, it didnt belong on a car.
built KA with high compression BC cams and what not. pretty quick and sounds cool
a z32 vlsd
i motoria exhaust (ive never heard of it, but it sounds good)
edm kouki tails (i noticed they are grey instead of black)
"nismo" sides and rear. really good fitment. just not my style.
stock s13 seat bolts that had 4 bolts total holding them both in.
ebay steering wheel.
automatic fan that went all around the entire motor bay, in the cabin hooked up to a fuse for the radio as power.
radio in the car didnt do anything but had a wire coming off of it so you could turn on the fan..
headlights that had all broken brackets, and zip tied on.
then i started noticing a trend. if anything was supposed to have X amount of bolts holding it on, it usually had half of those.
i decided to look deeper in the car because everything felt clunky.
took forever to get the damn lugs off because they used these dumb things
got new lugs
jack the car up and i noticed there is one aftermarket RUCA and one stock one. i noticed why the car sounded like it was going to break when it hit bumps. ALL THE BOLTS FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION WERE HAND TIGHT. pretty sketchy.
i decided to buy new suspension parts but then noticed there was a 12mm bolt holding on the rucas, and toe. and one side didnt even have a nut on it.. and almost every bolt was a different size. so i went to ACE and replaced all my bolts with grade 8 ones for about 20 dollars.
i then ordered some PBM links from a guy on zilvia.
got new head lights without broken brackets.
had to swap the lense over because the one i got didnt have them.
i didnt have the car for a day before i was swapping stuff out. tired of that interior. threw away the seats and put mine in with my steering wheel set up
got my CF chargespeed seat back in, and s14 seat. i love this interior. the passenger seat has been in almost all my 240s.
first night i had it [img width=600 height=450]
https://2img.net/h/i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af293/hs13kls/image.jpg[/img]got my links. and i decided to clean them thoroughly and used anti seize
ordered my wheels and they came rather fast
nothing exciting just 18x9.5 +15 225/40 tires
then i noticed something leaking.
the freeze plug was dripping coolant. so i have to fix that thing soon.
next day i decided to do some more work on the car and fix how the battery was mounted.. it wasnt mounted really at all. just was getting thrown around in the trunk. and then noticed all the rust.
i spent a few hours sanding/wire brushing all the rust off.. POR15'd it and then used truck bed liner this time.
cut a few holes out that had too much rust and welded a new plate in there, and welded a battery bracket in too.
next day finished the paint on the trunk
decided to put the wheels on the car and lower it a lot
wasnt enough yet
put my spacers on so my effective offset up front is -5 and 0 in the rear on stock metal
went to the shop to work on the car
my buddy just turboed his gsr, and got the motor built. sounds real clean
got a navan bumper from around town somehow, just came across it.
needed some work..
but got it mounted.
next day i primed it
and 2 days later
if you notice, i didnt do any work to it. (as far as prepping it)
right before paint
but the paint is flawless
having this car this low isnt easy. i ran through my harness later in the day.
so i decided to re route it in the bay like my old coupe. i had to extend a lot of wires..
huge pain in the ass
cleaned up the bay
last one.
if you noticed a built a bike last year, shortly after. i built this one too.
made a pad
got bored and replaced my front wheel with purple nipples
got some grips
got a nice 17 t cog
kinda had a little shoot of the car in the current state.
sorry my ISO setting was off. and im too lazy to retake the pictures
getting in this garage is a pain
hood looks like shit
its a little low
oh if anyone was wondering, that bike is mine too
2005 600f4i
i have all the plastics, just running a "street fighter" front. has a cage, 12 o clock bar, two brother exhaust, swapped the sprockets, but i have the originals.
quick, fun bike. i might be interested in selling it if anyone wants it.
oh yea.
IVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS
PLANS:
get corner lights,
r33 ebrake cables, and a Ebrake handle (so if anyone has a s14 handle/r33 cables holler at me)
SR swap (its in the works, i finally saved enough money to do a swap. just getting the motor prepped grandma's penis good leak down. with in 3-4%)
get a welded or a 2way the vlsd works, just not for me. i liked my old diff set up in my coupe
25mm spacers in the rear.
bash bar, and maybe V mount?
i kinda want overs now. and new side skirts.
maybe get turn signals too and a BC spec 2 exhaust like my old 240 lol
Subject: since my build got deleted?
