Finally, after lurking for a long time in this great forum, I had the courage to show my S14. Bought it almost 2 years ago, with a 80k miles on it, until a couple of months, did not have the time or money to work on it, and believe me, is hard to see a lot of great cars on this forum and not been able to turn your own car a decent looking one. When bought it had a really bad paint, and considering that most of the used cars here in border, are cars that were involved in some sort of an accident in the US, so a lot details and work was needed. Installed a new exhaust, cleaned the interior, sand and polish the paint. I installed new slated and drilled disk brakes and lowering springs.Before the flaming begins, I know is not a Silvia, but I love the look of the silvia emblems, that is why I replaced them.As soon as I get new pictures of the car with the new goodies on it, I'll show them to you....
this is what happens when you paint with the cheapest spray can from Home Depot...
some work with the bumper...
before 4x4 height
clean..?
current height, not the best picture, but I'll take better
it
PS. I will have 3 5-lug disk brakes if some one interested on them. Just make an offer for them here in the post.

Nice keep up the good work. Looks good with the drop.
Re: (breadbox)
Hey mate! nice work on the car.looks clean on the inside and just a little paint on the exterior and should be good! Got much planned for this one?
Re:
thx for the comments.
Yes, it does need some paint, but after the sanding and polishing it looks good enought to wait a bit until painting it completely. Ill paint correctly the hood shortly. My plans so far is to keep a strong KA, still on budget...but seriously considering a new set of wheels.
a picture of the disk brakes, red calipers are so 2000, but I like them....and yes, cellphone pics sucks....and iphone pictures suck even more....
the rear tires are 235/45/17 on wimpy 17x7 rims, and I guess this combo looks not that gay. The fronts are 225/45/17, do you think the 235/45/17 will fit in the fron with no problem?
