*~* Beem's S14 Build *~*

[ddgsxr504]

Looking at the pic ^ you need to loosen the screws and move the dampner outward (towards outside of car). Also you will have to move the two outside screws to the next holes in order to do that.

Does that make sense?

updates!

well.. winter sucks. i havnt done much but drive the car too and from work. the coilovers are AMAZING, the only thing holding her back from hugging the road more are the hancook snow tires.

this update:VLSD

next update:can you guess? all i know is that im stoked!











break a few bolts... and some tools







i had to make myself a small cheater bar for a few of the bigger bolts





all done. now test!! now its time to wash her up some

[ThuG LyFe]

cool looks like it's coming along nice. so the coils don't make the funny noise anymore?

time to get some wheels and it'll make a lot of difference.

[Nesquick]

MX-6 FTMFW!!!!!! i got a KLZE 6 as well that i use as a winter car. definitely good s*** to rip around in.

[Beems240sx]

nope, i just had to ride on them and break em in. there perfect now. one major thing before i can spend the cash on wheels

[Hoffman5982]

looks kind of like the red paint on your tails is wearing off?idk.nice car none the less,cant wait to see the new rims

[Beems240sx]

you can still see some orange in the right light. its all good tho! im still happy with 'em.

[MastaYu]

nice build

[Beems240sx]

Update.. already really? man i love warm weather! F*** old man winter, he hates cars.. and he left me a small amount of rust to deal with that B******. so that big update i was talking about will be arriving this monday! i always told myself i would stick with the KA because it was different to build that than another motor up. but now more and more people build KA's into beasts so i said F*** it im getting an SR. there are more parts available and at a more reasonable price. so tonight i went and picked up Duplicolor primer and gloss black to clean up the bay when i pull the KA out. onto pics!

[Beems240sx]

no love

[Logan76]

will love it more when you get pics of it in the car.

[steamer1227]

ill show a little love just cuz i like the complete sr swap.....jhot i think you said was where you got it......usually dont see them come with everything......does jhot have a website.....interested but would def. like to know how it runs when you have it all togther in the car.

looking good though......you are going to get dif. wheels now that you have it lowered right?

[I ask good questions]

JHOT pretty much always comes with everything. I mean everything... Their website is http://www.jhotimports.com

[OutToWinPAHC]

At a minimum freshen up that motor gaskets and seals, inspect bottom end.

[Beems240sx]

I'm waiting on the new wheels for a while. It just snowed last night so I still need the winter tires on there. It just sucks because I'm on spring break...

[Idahos13]

Nice build bro, cant wait to see how the sr turns out

[Beems240sx]

the SR has been in for about 2 weeks now and pulling HARD! with an open down pipe its insane. boost is an addiction. i was extremely pleased with JHOT imports. everything on the motor was in pristine condition. the motor has NO weird noises or anything. not even a damn leak haha. i ended up with a S14 SR harness with a WC (if i remember correctly) computer. apparently i didnt understand when they said already wired for S14, because it sure wasnt. but not a problem. just and all nighter and my buddy figured the whole thing out since i dont car for electrical that much. i was under a time crunch, i had work and i was on spring break. keep in mind this was the first time i had even laid eyes on an SR.. so i think it turned out pretty damn good for the alloted time period. i wanted to paint the bay and such, but ill have to suffer haha. onto pictures!











the mess of wires....



woohoo stock sidemount!!





so after playing with some things i found out that i could wiggle the down pipe quite easily... culprit, loose turbo nuts. so i had to pull it off to tighten them all down and bend the tabs like they should have been so they dont come loose anymore.







and i found this at my local arcade!! haha



picked up all 4 of these from work for free, they were going in the trash... pfffff DIBBSKuhmo Ecsta V710 225/45/17





see the burn mark at the end of Intercooler? yeah thats why you dont set a light down then go under the car for a few minutes. DOOHH



Ditching A/C garbage



sanded down the letters and cleaned the writing offf



my quick attempt to clean it up a little bit for now.







thats it for now!!

Nice man... Im totally jealous. And nice cleanup on that wiring.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Hmm I hate to say it, but you need to clean up that wire mess / blue loom. It just makes it stick out like a sore thumb..

A tuck is on order.

[Slammed95S14]

This makes me want to do my swap all over again. Only thing is for $400 more you could have picked up a S14 SR.

[Beems240sx]

i completely agree it doesnt look right at the moment because the bay is boring. the tuck will have to wait until next summer when i get mega squirt!

[mRodiek]

Where in chicago are you? Im bout 45min north in Gurnee Looks like fun, except the blue loom..thats a no no my friend lol

[Beems240sx]

im in glen ellyn so thats like 2 hours away or so? do you go to any of the meets? ive never been to one but i want to this summer. i knew you guys wouldnt like the loom haha. i wouldnt care if it was bright yellow, the harness isnt the pile of wires it was before so thats a win in my book. my engine bay is butt ugly right now too haha. i need a damn front mount bad!

[Beems240sx]

UPDATE!!

this update is new wheels and tires.

im now running Rota P45R's. they are sports bronze. and ill say it now and quite clearly. yes they are inexpensive wheels, no s*** there rota's. but i like them a lot and thats all that matters!! the tires are meaty as hell. i bet no one can guess what the whole package cost me. go ahead

OMG! is that a starion??!?! you bet it is! its my buddies.

[Brandon1605]

For the record, you definitely have your head on your shoulders. I just hope you hold to your vow to not street race. Its a stupid thing to do and its not cool.

That said, nice car. Im really liking the wheel and tire combo. Out of curiousity, how do those tires ride? I was considering them for my car when I got to that point.

[s13importuner7]

i def need to see your car sometime soon. finally got the p45r's huh. i was just looking for them used all over f*ckin america. cant find em in 4 lug! i have to buy coilovers anyway. im painting my car white right now. nice job with the sr. car looks clean. the bay could use a bit though

[Idahos13]

Your car looks great man! those rims look awesome on ur car.

[JRPS13]

awesome ride man, love the wheel and fitment.

i just wanted to note im also having popping noises come from my pillowball on my stance coils too

[S14slider09]

lol i just sold my conquest/starion!!!

[iLLusive240^]

looks good man 1 question, where did you find your rims and what was the price? i like em a lot n im on a budget.. normally doesnt happen
