5-speed first. Don't think about leather if its not already. Also a rear swaybar would be nice because I don't think non SE S14s came with them. Car looks very clean and wheel have a sunken look.

thanks for the comments. . . looks like i'll be doing the conversion!! lol to answer the specific things, i've put on a hotshot header (first i've ever heard of it too), straight pipe to a magnaflow muffler (dual tip to get it lookin as close to stock) pipe is 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 all the way back with a resunator. I've also put on a air intake (don't know what kind it is, came off engine we bought) and have done various sound system work (as you can see) Now, this weekend, we are getting in the springs and struts and lowering it about 1 1/2 inch in front and 1 1/4 i believe in back. Other things for the future (eventually going on) is MSD ignition (MIS-4) and hopefully that motec system (M-4). And just a little thank you to my stepdad, he's really helped me alot through putting this together! Oh, also taking any other suggestions.

Looks similar to the dual tip Magnaflow muffler BRM uses.

5 speed conversion definetily... then do some suspension work... I dont see why you'd do a Ignition system without an SR swap though

i don't want to do the SR swap because I really wouldn't have enough time. I'm eventually just going to get a Greddy turbo kit, that way i don't have to fool with the wiring harness lol. Anyone that lives in the MS, LA, or AL area that would have a 5 speed transmission for this car please post. I believe we're about to lower my car!!

i think for a turbo kit most people in the ka-t forum will tell you you can get as good as if not better of a kit than the greddy for a lot less money

That is one nice clean Zenki. Nice!

1. 5 spd.2. Suspension - coils or springs/struts and sways and STB3. Brakes - Z32 is popular. You can also go with Q45. If not just get nice pads, and SS lines and flush the system with Motul fluid4. Ka-T or SR swap... Boostdesigns kit is the popular with KAs...

Yeah, definetily drop that thing... that fender gap hurts my eyes.

Also, 5 speed swap is a must.

A good first step into a custom turbo setup would be getting a SAFC2.
