Ok so I thought I would make a build thread since I have some things planned for my car. Lets start at the beggingin
I got my first car (S14) in june of 2006
The car was primered, 200k miles, 5 lug in the rear and 4 lug up front. Many things happened to it from 300 zx wheels, roll paint and other things but sadly the car was killed by a drunk driver but because of that I got this gem.
The first thing I had to do was swap the 5 lug parts over but in the process I couldnt take off the rear ones because they were stuck. So I had to run 4 lugs in the rear for a while. I had a lot of trouble converting it over but it finally got done
2 weeks after, I find out it had a blown headgasket. So I got it rebuilt and I swapped it over to 5 speed. Got all the good stuff like ARP stuff, head rebuilt and all that.

I wanted to be lowered and fast because everyone was making fun of me. I saw someone selling used megan street coils online for 400 so I picked those up with the stimulus package thing.
Probably the best my car ever looked. Then in September of 2008 I got my Silvia front and swapped it over. This was during that hurricane but I was eager
Somewhere down the line I got coupe doors and swapped that over but I dont have pics of it for some reason. Shortly after that I sanded the car down and tried roll painting again. It took me a weekend but it looked nice for what it was
Then I got S14 wheels for a good price, painted them white and got my dad to buy me used tires for an early b-day gift
As I leave work, my transmission blows, so I get a loan and buy a rebuilt trans and exedy clutch with 14 lbs flywheel and Circuit sports short shifter
I also got SR injectors and an N60 MAF and got a chip from E-mance. The car runs nice and it feels great on the butt-dyno but I have yet to get it on a real dyno.
Car runs great again
After about a year of not doing anything and getting a job at Tread Quarters, my car starts acting up. It just dies as I was driving to work. I had a walbaro fuel pump laying around but I didnt have any of the other stuff that was needed but thanks to SCI2000tech it was able to get done. The store manager of my work is a friend of mine that was pretty good at drifting. During our down times at work we stitch welded my car
