Okay so here is what got done today:

- 5 Lug (Front and most of the passenger side rear) - Z32 Brakes, stainless braided lines, drilled/slotted rotors (Front)- Kei Office Coilovers (Front)- Nismo LMGT 4 Wheels mounted w/ Rays Lugnuts (Front)- Added HKS Air Filter in place of AEM and took off AEM Sticker- Found a convertible boot and bought it should be here next week (hopefully)

PICS:







Sits pretty flush, needs to be a little lower and I need to take out some camber, but fit pretty good.





Another engine pic



Let me know what you all think. I am new to the verts but not 240's. I have had a fully built s14 and a coupe that was partially built but never finished. If you have any advice please let me know as I am listening. Convertibles are new to me so I could use some help.

PICS of the S14 (currently being parted out) and Coupe:

That's coming along really nice, can't wait to see how it looks after it's done.

Why are you parting out the S14?

As for the "eurolines" they were actually Starform Type-D wheels, and I sold them last week... they would have been pretty nice on here, but they were hard to fit on the coupe...

Hopefully this weekend I am:- throwing on the new rear coilovers, - rolling the rear fenders, and possibly the fronts too- dropping it down some- possibly relocating harnesses that run inside the fenders....- painting and putting on a zenki lip

Over the next week I hope to:- put my blacktop sr back together (took it apart to put apexi headgasket, arp head studs, etc.)- pull the motor and trans- clean the engine bay, and get it prepped for sr/manual

Got the front lip put on but had some trouble w/ the other sideskirt/rear valance, so still working on that... but I think this thing is awesome... It will be hard as hell to drive around here (NY, out in the sticks ) but it looks killer....
