I won't make any opinons until it is finished.

The whole thing is looking kinda eh...But I know that lights/paint/spacers/FMIC and a final realignment will make a world of diffrence.

Touge what size are the spacers?I am thinking 5mm...

don't know yet? It looks better in person. the color I chose is because of the racing I do. time attack & road courses. Plus I'm lazy & don't like washing or waxing!!!

Ahh so she is allready painted huh...Flat black

I think that gloss instead of flat would of looked better.But it is function over anything else. I still think once the headlights are in I would realign the whole front. It looks a little off.

Oh and +1 for the wingless look Weird Side Note: Your rims are more shiney then the car! Haha

Any engine updates?

The greddy manifold is working GREAT! I notice a big difference between that & the stock one. The greddy unit allows more air from the turbo in & evens it out to all cylinders even the front one! Also the bigger throttle body helps out. The intake manifold is a MUST in reaching above the 400 mark. Don't know who good it is on an s13 sr20det. but the stock manifold sucks on the s14 sr20det's!

Ya I got the s14sr too, looks like Ill be getting one of these in the near future. What about the peak performance exhaust manifolld? I found it online and for the price seems pretty good. Hows that one treating you? I want something reliable thats not gonna break on me buts better then the stock and doesnt cost 1k. lol

lol... from the looks of it, 5mm won't make a difference... I mean, it looks like you can fit like 30mm spacers back there.

IMO, the flat black really killed the whole build for me. It is a very clean flat black paint job, but it makes everything else look so much more cheap.

if the flat black were to stay..... then the wheels need to go. the glossy (maybe mat?) black wheels look silly. maybe a gold or even titanium wheel might finish it off. if the theme was "simple" then the body doesn't fit, and if it isnt then the paint and wheels are way off.

I also think I would be running some nice wide wheels...... 8.5s + in the rear.

just my 2 cents..... its your build, and hope you are enjoying it.

Wait til it's all done! the rears are 18x10 w/-8 offset, 8.5's are tooo little. The flat black paint was picked because it's a race car & I didn't want a paint that I cared about. No wash, wax or upkeep!!!

the painter got sent to jail in may & i didn't get the car back til he was released!That what's happens when your friends dad does the body work & paint!
