OK, I have been floating around the forums for quite a while, and I have had a project car convertible since December of 2005. It has been a project that has undergone stops and starts several times as life has had its ups and downs. There have been glitches that people here have been kind enough to solve. She’s not pretty yet, but functional. Below is what has been done, and what is still to be done.

Suggestions are always welcomed.

Going to need to do something for tuning. Been thinking about the Nistune, or possibly the AEM setup. Open to and would appreciate suggestions. I am not looking for massive power, just a well tuned and smooth running car.

Thought about but unsure of the S14 Dash and door panel change. I saw it in another thread and thought it was amazing. Wondering just how tough it is to get it right.

Here are a few random pictures:
When she first came home, before lowering and before proper size tires.

Godspeed sway bar versus stock




Spare wheels on the car, along with the new taillights



More pictures to come as more progress continues... Thoughts or suggestions?

I like it so far, makes me miss my car

As a quick update, the AEM wideband, turbo XS manual boost controller, and fuel pressure regulator have come in. Oddly enough I have a day off tomorrow. Happy day.

Pics to follow...

Ever get to the end? I have a 1994 limited edition, my baby. Ying to your yang... White and needs a lil tlc. How has your top held up? Im looking to replace a hydrolic rod that snapped (brother doesnt know his own strength) as well as a tentative side/rear rail. Not finding a lot of "how to" info. Would love to see pics if you ever finished :-)
