19x9.5/19x10.5 Pic Heavy....

[poems2beats]

Im back! Well I was never really gone but I quit being so active in this forum but still lurked every once in a while.

After making some progress these last few months I feel my car is worthy of a new thread. So on with the pics!


Stock zenki. This was back in the summer of 2010.

After graduating and finding a real job I started saving my pennies and was able to fund some nice mods.

PBM coilovers


5 lug swap


I wanted to have a pretty looking MC


Some Megan goodies for the front suspension.


Some Megan goodies for the rear




G35 wheels I bought from another member here


Used a set of PBM wheel spacers to loose the sunken battle ship type look


Bought a pair of Bride seats but the passenger seat was on backorder for a couple of months


Clean imo


Yes that is a Bride dashmat:)


Bride visor to match the rest of mhy interior


Both seats in


Then I picked up these bad boys!


So much grinding and hammering was needed in order. Getting these wheels to fit was a PITD(the D stands for d!ck)


Looking gross. I cleaned things up a bit before slapping on the overfenders.


Stance!


I was a wee bit nervous about cutting into my new cb hood lol I thought it was best to go ahead and do a kouki conversion.


I love this style of hood pins, so much more sleek and sexy.













Still have A LOT of work to do but its coming along. Beside desperately needing paint, what do you guys think?

[samxini]

Mother of god....your car is amazing. If it was all one color it would be perfect.
What wheels are those anyways?

[poems2beats]

Thanks! They're Kranze LXZ by Weds, I bought them used from a member of a VIP forum. They were on his show car and he gave me a really sweet deal for the wheel/tire set up.

[badbob2121]

I like the quality work, but not the wheels..

but to each their own...

[CJH]

I also love your car and your wheels. Super sexy! Nice job. Motor plans?

[300ZXttZMAN]

Damn homey rock on!!! That is an awesome transformation! Can't wait to see it all painted!

Keep up the good work!


+1 on wondering what the plans are for the engine?

[poems2beats]

Well I would like to do and LS1 swap but..... It all boils down to how much money I'm willing to spend. I wont be looking into a swap until the after I get it painted, finish the interior and the suspension. If anything though I might end up going with an SR.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Looks good I guess, I'll have to see it all one color

[420sxWETDREAMS]

It looks dope kid, love the wheels!

[h2v7]

holy cow paint that thing its looking nice man

[poems2beats]

I've been tossing around a few ideas for paint. I'm thinking of a nice cadillac pearl white or a dark maroon/burgundy. Any input or other ideas? I definitely want to stay away from any obnoxious colors lol

[pepesilvia]

im into that wheel setup man! what rear fenders are those?

as far as color goes... i love this charcoal color http://www.flickr.com/photos/freedb/5034941515/

[lovehateRBrelations]

when this puppy is painted up should look very clean. I am not a huge fan of the wheels, but they are in no way ugly! Just not my style, but keep up the awesome work and post more pics as she comes together! For engines the LS1 would be fun as hell to drive, but I dont like the idea of a big 'merican v8 in a import sports car, again just my $00.2. SR's have tons of aftermarket support and is a solid choice, they are just commonplace and nothing "unique". If you want to be a rebel and go a little more extraordinary drop in a RB or 2jz. RB is a easy swap, but from personal experience, they are a money pit so take that in to account. I really dont know much about 2jz swaps other than that they have been done, make silly power, have aftermarket support and seem legit.
For color I think a graphite/titanium or pearl white would be sexy. Of course black always looks good and has always been my fav. Another option (albeit more extreme and probly more expensive would to do a two tone of black and red or black and white. anywho looks good so far. I am also what widebody fenders ur using and what mm they are.

this is pic of the "two tone" idea i was thinking

[adrianfromthecastle]

not bad! Imo... you need some big aero to pull off those wheels, cuz they look hella big on stock body. and I'm not really diggin that steering wheel set up, but thats just me.

Otherwise, looks good!

[poems2beats]

^I'm staying away from "aggressive" areo. I don't want my car looking like it came off a set of an f&F movie set... I might go aftermarket with the skirts, I just need to find something that flows well with the jdm bumper and rear valances. I like my gangster wheel set up lol The car looks a bit different in person and the wheels look spot on imo.

As far as the fenders, they are Chargespeed fenders. 20mm wide fender in the front and 50mm wide in the rear. On on that note... I need help! lol I'm just not satisfied with my stance.... before installing the fenders I had my coilovers set as low as possible and was running dam near 0 degrees of camber. However my fenders wont allow this. Even after completly shaving the lip I had to either
A) camber in the wheels a s*** ton or
B) lift the car until my wheels cleared
or
C) A little of both A and B
I went with option C. But like I mentioned earlier, I'm not happy with the stance. I want more lower and less negative camber. So I'm thinking about removing a good 1-2 inches of material from the fender. My question now is.... How do I go about doing this?

Thanks for the feedback guys! Keep the paint ideas and constructive criticism coming!

[pepesilvia]

this thread is old but.... http://www.chargespeedusa.com/#/item/24 ... nder_50mm/ are these the fenders you bought?

[0range_Kouki24O]

Nice man! I been rockin 19's on my s14 for about a year now. Its nice to see other s14 guys rollin on 19s!

[eds13]

19's belong on your car, looks rad.

[OM3GA]

I CUMMED. That looks rad a**.

[mechanicalmoron]

The roof rack is somewhere between soccer mom and cop, the colors are junkyard fresh, the wheels are strait G.

I like it.

If you wanna roll like a bluehair in a caddy, you could un-space the wheels, and lower it so they're inside the fenders.... but you wouldn't have camber/height problems. Think of it as hellaflush+1.

Any updates here ?
