Looks good. Are you putting the factory power antenna back on?

[C3Sierra_S2000]

Right now I don't have a power antenna on the car but I do plan on putting one on it when I do the stereo system.

The seats are black leather with black ultra-suede inserts. The headliner is also ultra-suede as well as the door panel inserts. The carpet is super plush cut nylon pile in black from http://www.motorsouthcarpet.com with matching floor mat set.

Approximate costs:Leather seat covers with extra suede material for headliner and doors $ 1200Carpet and floor mats $250

Hey man, do the floor mats use the little hook thingy near the seat to keep the mat in place? Or could you have them do it for extra? Just wondering if you know....

[C3Sierra_S2000]

I believe that they do have the hook installed on them. They are very high quality mats and fit really well. I was impressed with them and the carpet. My first shipment of carpet and mats apparently was lost in shipment and they got a second batch out to me ASAP. They are a little hard to reach via phone sometimes but I am in Iraq so the time difference sucks for me.

Alright thanks man!

If youre swapping the motor, would you be willing to sell the heads, front pulleys, intake, or coil packs?

I actually will be selling the LS1 longblock with intake and throttle body, fuel rails, and injectors. I need to keep the coils though unless I upgrade to MSD which is still a possibility. I will also need to keep the pan and the front drive accessories. I have an extra T-56 as well. Oh and the exhaust manifolds that are on the car will be available too. They aren't pretty but they work. Email me if you want some more info.

[urcaptnspeaking]

Email sent!

[idahotuner]

if i can sell my sr20 here i will be extremely interested. i want to do the ls1 with t56 transmission. how much would you be looking at for the whole setup?

[C3Sierra_S2000]

Let me get everything out and get my other motor built and I will figure out what all I am going to let go. The spare trans is supposed to be good as I bought it that way but I haven't had it in the car so I might wait and install it when I put everything back together because I know the trans in the car right now works fine. I don't want to sell anything that I can't guarantee. Stay in touch via email. It should take me a month or two to get everything out and back in as we are doing some painting and some suspension stuff too.

sounds good man

[TomShanK]

Wow, that blue really sets off the car...it's really clean too. What size is the tire in the back?

car looks great!

maybe lower a little bit more? 5mm slip on spacers? just a suggestion, body work is awesome!

Thanks. In these pictures the car was literally put together at the final hour and driven to the show. The coilovers are actually not even quite level from side to side as we didn't have time to adjust them. After we put it back together the final time I plan to make it sit a little lower. It will never be super slammed though since I do drive it on the street a lot and it is on 19s. I am already eating up my inner fender liners in the front.

As for spacers I have never been comfortable running them and to be honest with you the tires are really close to the fenders. I also think I am going up to a 285 tire in the rear as soon as I burn these off which won't take too long.

Looks awesome.

You should post it up on http://www.SilviaV8.com.

[1991ls13]

dude, im excited for you, you better still drive after putting all the money into it. 10/10 for sure, probably one the best s14s i`ve ever seen

[C3Sierra_S2000]

Thanks guys it is coming together. I think I am going to be about $10,000 deeper into this thing than I wanted but what the hell. When I was at home I drove the **** out of it and really enjoyed the car. It will certainly get driven as it currently gets the best gas mileage of anything I own including my Harley's. I got about 27mpg on the interstate while I was home and that was with the 4.08 gears. I will be changing to 3.54 soon and with a tune I hope to hit 30mpg. My bike only gets about 25mpg and I won't even discuss the Denali LOL.

[DrifterXRPS13]

how far are you from ATL? That's one nice combo you got there. I really want to see it in person if you don't mind and close by.

I live about 2.5 hours south of ATL. The car is being taken apart again to do the engine bay. When I get it all back together it will be hitting some of the shows next spring. I am sure you will see it around.

good luck with all the hard work and yea...I don't go to shows or look into it haha. I wish I have the money to get the LS1 for my Z. The kit and everything needed for the swap sucked me dry already

Wow a fellow C3 owner. There aren't too many out there and most don't have a clue what a C3 is. I loved that truck. I had an ATI ProCharger on mine running 9lbs of boost. Nothing like barking all 4 tires leaving the line haha. When the 350Z first came out I lined up against one at a 1/4 track and took him by 3 car lengths. He was not pleased LOL.

Here's a pic of my former toy.
