Marc's badass s14.

yeh they are a heft price ! hsd is where its at man im going to get some for the civic the GAZ ones i have just dont cut it tbh

Its in good nick underneath, wish mine was.

Forgot about this being on here, here's a catch up-to-date copy n' paste:


Finally got round to mounting the problem side skirt at lunch today.
Because the ends were stopping the skirt sitting on the wings I lopped them off

This left me with no option other than to screw them on to the side of the wings.

They are still very close to the door but I can sand a few mm out where needed:




Black screws counter sunk should be hardly noticable anyway once painted.

So thats the kit pretty much sorted now apart from some kind of front bumper support I need to knock up. I'm just happy to see it all kitted when I walk out the door tbh



I might just ghetto roll the arches untill the tra-kyoto fenders land so I can get to my mates garage to do the welding and fit my s13 welded diff.
Not posted a rear shot yet:

Had a quick bash at the tempory arch roll last night, its not amazing but as I said its just to get back and forth to my mates garage.

Thought I'd drop it to where I want it while I was there:



POW!


Realized I have'nt really thought about how to mount the wing on either so put that on and played with a few ideas, I think it will end up being a shite load of screws through the boot into the base of the wing



Shame that will have to wait untill the overfenders get here to go on really.

looking nice bud. cant wait to see the finished result!

it is looking good!

fuck those wheels look monstrous!!

lookin spot on lad!

skim some filler over he screws if u wanna hide them

Filler? what is this? Lucky your around Simon I'd never thought of that haha

I'm not using filler because it will more than likely crack and ruin the paint and mainly beacause if/when I have an off they're easy to remove and replace.

The rear wheels are only 18x10 but with the negative offset and design they have massive lips.

I pulled my dash out and flocked it this week only to end up buying a smooth non-airbag dash so I've had to start over.


Only problem with the smooth one is that, well its in a bit of a sorry state tbh





Being that I've flocked many mk2 escort dashes that are always split/cracked I knew I could sort it



You've got to make it worse to make it better


After a quick pasting with filler and alot of sanding:


I'll hopefully get that flocked tomorow and put in the car this week but I'm going to be removing alot of crap from under the dash and maybe getting a small rally boy spec heater just for the windscreen while I'm at it.
Also remembered to sort some rod ends out and spanner big enough to get the rods fitted tomorow too




Rods and ends fitted



Also rolled the front arches enough to drive it
1st time I've driven it more than 6ft in months so pretty happy with that.

I can drop the front down this week now I've got some clearance.

i like this alot to put it simple ha

those rod ends give you any extra lock or are they just new oe ones?

should give a decent amount of extra lock

They have built in 7mm spacers but wont give massive amounts of lock without grinding some meat off the lockstops, which I'll be doing at some stage.

woooooo, gna look beasty!

I need some adjustable tie rod ends... then I'll be a pro at parralell parking lmao

Keep forgetting this is on here.

Still waiting on the rear overs, hopefully they will be here when I get back off holiday so I can finally get this sucker painted.

Got myself a bargin z32 afm with K&N.



Which just leaves me with the following to buy for the spec I want:

gt2871r 52 trim .64 exhaust
Nismo 740's
1.5mm HG
Nistune
And more than likely some 264 cams for good measure
Oh and a decent clutch might be wise.

I'm in no major rush to get to this spec and will just accumalute the parts to fit all at once and get mapped (hopefully the whole car will be done before August).

Also I have on the way a z32 rear brake setup and hopefully some Navan front wings

Started tucking some of the messy wiring

Before:



And after:



I'm not going to go over the top with it but once I ditch the ABS, move the battery and sort the other loose wires out it should look alot cleaner in there I think.

Its comig on very nicely with you, is it going to stay the same colour when the bodykit is being sprayed or is there a fancy respray on the cards?

First post last page.


Car is comming along great. Will be interesting to see it painted.
Regarding the screws, have you considered riveting instead? I personaly prefer that look.

Oops i see it now , should of read through it properly.

Someone asked me the otherday if I'd crashed this because no bodys seen it, proof it still exists:

looking awsome bud, wana fill us in on any changes since may

cant see the pics coz you've run out of bandwidth

Sorry boys.







Done loads to be fair.



Just fitting the following now:

Powder coated subframe with solid bushes along with my adjustable Driftworks arms

Nismo 2way diff

300zx rear brake conversion

full abs delete with full braided lines throught the car

huge godspeed ARB's

Shotgun exhaust





Then I need to nick Jamies ramps (if I can figure out how to get on them) to fit mu Ogura racing single plate clutch/flywheel



Also bought my these bad boys a while back





I'll prob forget this is here and update in another 6 months now.

I wasnt keen on the kit at first, but now its all painted up I quite like it!
