that thing looks great man. i got a 95 s14 and i got some 18 by 9.5 and 18 by 8.5s lined up and i was wondering how your car looked with those wheels once you put the lowering springs on it

[PapaSmurf2k3]

eh, where there is a will, there is a way.

Keep it fresh!! unbelievable healthy paint damm jealous.

[Ellison@FCPImport]

Nice setup. When is the drop going on?

[S14Kouki10]

he is selling it now.

[Eikon]

Yeah, I've got it listed for sale. If I could get my finances lined up properly, I'd love to keep it.. I'm working on that. But, I have to make other things a priority...

I'm out of town for like 10 days.. I figured I'd see what kind of interest I would get for the car during that time period. If no interest, then I'll proceed with installation of brakes and suspension on the car.

[Eikon]

Soooo... I still have the car.

What an insanely busy summer for me!!! Between school, kids, heat, lack of money, and other parts of life that get in the way.. It took me the whole damn summer to get the brakes and suspension done. I ran into some major frustrations with stuck bolts.

I have the full Z32 brake upgrade complete with the exception of hooking up the ebrake cable. I need to chose either R33 cables or some kind of adaptor bracket. I'm in no rush at this point.. the car is an auto, so the ebrake is less important.

I also lowered the car on a set of used KYB AGX shocks and Espelier springs.

budget build with gram lights?

I bought the Gram Lights a couple years ago and they have been in my basement waiting for a chance to see daylight.... So it is a budget build in the sense that I haven't spent much money on any new items specifically for this car. I also had the Z32 calipers in my garage.. so I guess I've spent about $500 on this car since I bought it.

Seth, I freaking love your car for real. SOOOO clean. Keep the pics coming!! Even if nothing changes, haha

[Eikon]

Thanks!

Mike... Looking hot dude.. Must be silly fast!


I probably won't do much with the car for the rest of the year. I need to work out a few little kinks with the brake swap... I need to bend the metal shield away from the front rotors as they are rubbing a little bit. Of course, I also need to work out a solution for the ebrakes. I really don't want to spend the money on R33 cables, but I may have no choice.. plus then the pain in the neck of taking the whole rear brake assemblies and ebrake apart to replace that cable. But, oh well...

Sometime next spring, if financially possible, I plan to get a front lip and new rear bumper.
