Marc's badass s14.

Though I'd chuck this up for you boys to see my progress, sorry if it reads shit I'm pasting it from elsewhere

Back again for yet another project
After the highs and lows of my kouki ownership and build I wanted to get an s14 again so put the daily s13 up for swaps and here we are



Only done the deal a few hours ago so thats all the pics I have atm.

Dent will be pushed out/covered up anyway so that isnt an issue.

These will be coming back out of hibernation early thats for sure


Had a move about inside yesterday as the boost gauge was in an anoying place and did'nt light up, that obviously led to more wire tidying and took ages :rolleyes:
BEFORE:

AFTER:

I'll be flocking the dash and doors at some stage so I'm going to make a tidy pod where the gauge is sitting now

polished my wheels
They were pretty clean before but had a few patchy dirt spots here and there, anyway I wont bore you too much soo here how they ended up



Shit update I know but cant do much else untill the kits here.
Also looks like I'll have to go wide overs now as the dents being a bitch to get out probably just go for 30mm to keep it subtle.

Though I'd get the inner arches out and make a start on tucking the loom up when I found some more jobs


In good news though the kit and wing are ready to roll and I hope to have them by the weekend

Nom nom



Let the good times roll.............



No skirt pictures because they need a slight trim at some stage, nothing major though.

This bit may need to be sliced then re-glassed



Had a bash at the skirts today:

The lips either end that wrap into the wheel arches are stopping the skirt going on
I've now cut the lips/ends off so I can literally just stick them on, then its just a case of getting the shape right around the door and re-glassing ends on them so you cant see the big gap down the sill.

Got round to lifting the loom as best I could today so it does'nt rub through it once on the coilovers


Marked the area's the loom contacts when lifting, then I sliced the metal and hammered up out the way.


Ended cutting the left side abit more than I marked out in the end.
I think thats about as far as it can go now, if it still rubs (which I'm expecting) I'll have to move it properly

Wheeeey spacers finally showed up today, braved the rain to chuck the wheels back on, mainly because its pissing me off looking at it doing a low rider type wheelie with no front rims.



I think thats what the cool kids call poke 9j -16 with a 215.40 but that will have to become a 215.35 me thinks.
Might space the rears out to bring them visually in line with the fronts, I'll wait and see how they sit once 'fitted'
Should be a nice fit once slammed,cambered, rolled and flared though.

Also had a profec turn up today to add to the ever growing stock pile of parts.

Morning glory shot

Going to have to come up with some kind of bumper support to hold the middle of the bumper up in place because its sagging at the moment

Not really touched the outside yet this week but in my spare time I've had a play around with the interior fitting the boost controller, turbo timer and boost gauge where I want them.


The impossible has happened...................... I got a side skirt on


Heated the sheet out of it and somehow got it sat on the arch lips.
Just wish the drivers side could have done the same.

Boring update at again, been busy marking all the dents that need to be sorted before I even start thinking about paint so my cars starting to look like a dot to dot at the moment. Hopefully I'll get time on the weekend to sort most of them out.

Also went to fit my profec in and then realized that blue silicone is gay so ordered loads of it in black instead

You can also see my Tomei powered bargin there aswell, £25 because it had some crap paint on it and I'll be painting it anyway so happy with that.
PSM extra lock track rods came, well I had to collect them due to the £13 custom charges to pay


Also got some Sard 850's too

R32 GTR brake set up arrived today

No they are'nt going to stay that colour, they shall be a pimpy purple (if it stays on under heat).

Got bored, saw grinder, something had to be done

Looking good! lots of progress.

What are your intentions with this car? go fast/sideways or just look good?

Yer ask away man, I've had s13's and s14's for nearly 7 years now so I should know the basics by now I hope

The rear will be stripped out and caged, but not sure weather I'm going full or rear cage yet.

And buckets up front, I did have a carbon kevlar seat but it was red and I changed my mind about it.
