Why does no one pic whore there koukis !?

My car looks the same from my little thread a while back, I'm gonna take some baller pics when I'm done with the silvia aero and the fog lights.

here's a few just to look at: ^In dire need of rear valances

[Kckouki]

Yea, I want a JDM rear bumper with those little side peices, but that **** is soooooo expensive.

[spooled240]

hell yeah I have those jdm rear valances on order from nismoparts.com and they were 250 shipped....ouch

[lunatyk]

i wanna aero mine too...but

whole aero is pretty damn close to 1,000...

[300sx]

this picture was taken on monterey's 17mile drive with the pacific ocean in the back

[Kckouki]

OMG SWEET *** PIC ~!!!!!!!!~

Well ****, you fixed it.

Looks good, I should take my moms wheels off her Z and put them on mine, I dont think she would notice.

[coreansurfer]

just get some aftermarket aero, i paid around 1300 for mine, all cwest all prfp.

really sexy stuff

[spooled240]

agreed, love the wheels too.

exactly what i want cept i would rather mess with the new engine first.. althoug its so tempting to just order the k's aero stuff

[coreansurfer]

new engine will cost even more, i would get coilover wheels combo first

[brizanden]

nope no one is talkin me outta it. rb first sorry guys i know i will need brakes and suspension for it to be a drivable car, but i want the dam engine.

[coreansurfer]

i have an rb, i'm telling you from experience, at least get brake/suspension upgrade first, i didnt get suspension first, and im regretting it.

[brizanden]

maybe i will buy the suspension and/or breaks before i put the motor in but i am buying the motorset this fall and thats all the money i will have for awhile

[spooled240]

your paint was 80mine was 600

for materials:(

no complaining

damn did you paint the whole car? lol I only needed a little can of matched red base coat, hardener, clearcoat and some primer.

If I were to do it again, I probably would have done, baller wheels, and coils because I could've lived with the stock bumpers and such for awhile. LIVE AND LEARN

Brizanden, I did engine first and I kinda regretted it too. I had a 250 rwhp ka-t with stock suspension, brakes, and even the stock 15x6 steelies w/ hubcaps...sleeper, but I dunno it just wasn't working to well with the power output lol. But do what you want man, either way stock brakes and suspension/wheels will work fine for a while, it's just not as fun.

[brizanden]

^i know its gonna suck having to keep it way under its potential, but thats what happens when your on a budget

[spooled240]

true that, I had two choices: either focus on one thing such as suspension and wheels or do the engine. I chose to do my engine and I am spread too thin to do coils and baller wheels right now

[brizanden]

haha im gonna have sunken se wheels for a long long time

[spooled240]

dude they are not bad as the 15x6 steelies that I had for a year with the ka-t. ****, they were flush with the brake rotors SE wheels look alright if you can get some wheel spacers to make them more flush with the fenders

[brizanden]

not puttin stress on my studs just to have a better offseted stock wheel. i care more about keepin everything fine then having a bit better lookin wheel set up. everyone will still know its stock. besides you need like 40mm spacers

25mm spacer looks pretty damn good, isnt anywhere near as expensive, and wont put as much stress

sure it wont be perfectly flush, but who cares. Itl look way nicer

Also, if you want better wheels but are broke, you could sell the SE's for $100, and buy n/a Z32 wheels. There 16x7 and have way better offset

There also mad cheap, cause everyone wants the TT wheels.

given cred to spooled for lettin me know this ****. his Z32's are the n/a's, if you wanna see the fitment just scroll up

[brizanden]

like mine better design wise. and i dont want to stress the studs at all so ill keep them how they are till i get a nice set of lighter wheels for cheap (i know a jap that goes back to japan alot so he can pick me up something from up garage if i need him to)

[coreansurfer]

damn did you paint the whole car? lol I only needed a little can of matched red base coat, hardener, clearcoat and some primer.

i did the entire car myself at a local jc. needed lots of everything, used baller *** paint to black with green and blue flake

a horrible before pic to give you an idea

I have the TT set, which are the n/a 16x7.5 +45 mm in the front (pretty sunk) and the 16x8.5 +35mm in the back (not flush but better). The n/a wheels are kinda trippy looking being all twisty but they are an inch wider but they have 5mm more of an offset than the SE wheels which have +40mm. I've seen a clean set of n/a wheels go for 100 bucks. They are light, semi-wide and decent-looking wheels for the price IMO. The SE wheels are just skinny as hell and sunk as a mofo that's why I didn't get them.
