I've been a busy little bee.

some before/progress pics can be found here: zerothread?id=174670

and here: zerothread?id=187489

The car as it sit now, and yes I know it need to be lowered, that is the next thing on the list. The wing will be gone in a few days,(at first I liked it but now it just pisses me off) and it will have a US lip and some stock sideskirts shortly.



If anyone can point out what I did other than the 5 lug and Z wheels, I'll give them an e-cookie.

I'll give you partial credit

I have Z brakes on all 4 corners with Z33 track edition rotors on the front, still need to get the e-brake working, but a block of wood will do untill I order the right cables.

i can guess what happened here... you were too low and you ripped off the stock lip so you decided to put titan wheels on the car to raise it up a few feet so it wouldnt be a problem anymore.

Good guess negitave nancy , but the Z33 wheels are the only wheels I have that will fit over my front brakes, I do want to drop to a 17" wheel, but finding a 17" in a design, size, and offset in my price range is proving to be a pain in the ***.

The replacment is on back order, and the stock muffler looked like a bag of smashed *** since the tips were bent, so I ditched it.

I really like the rota D2 (they come in both +15 and +25 and the only go up to 8.5" wide, IIRC) and I have thought of picking up a set, but I think they look alot better on s13s than they do on s14s.

I have a budy with a set of Cobra R's (17x9f and 17x10r) that I was going to try on and see what they look like this weekend, if the weather is nice, but I'm not really sure that I'm going to like how they look. I'll try and get some pics posted when I do it just to get some opinions from the wheel whor.....errr....uhhh, experts of nico.
