I'm really liking that s13 to S14 kouki front conversion. That works for the hatch, coupe and vert imo. Might be a tad expensive though. The s13 in that pic looks good, but what the hell is wrong with that rear end? Looks funny for some reason.

btw John, I'll be in a red Dodge Ram 1500 ext. cab tommorrow instead of the expedition, just so you know.

gnvarnadore, these are for you, per our conversation earlier. The bottom one is not serious, I just thought it was a sweet car. My bet is that the one with the SR is long sold, but here it is just in case:

james would you happen to have the parts to convert an automatic s14 to a 5 speed because i found one here that the owner is only asking 1500 for and all it needs is brakes, so im going to go talk to her tomorrow.

Post by **jkerr240** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 5:09 am

how far away are all you guys from where i am? are there any meets down there

Post by **scs13** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 7:30 am

you found an s14 for 1500 dollars????

Post by **gnvarnadore** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 7:58 am

yeah but its a freaking automatic, the only thing wrong with it is that it needs new brakes. i think im getting it, im just waiting on this guy to come get my s13 today.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 8:04 am

James, what are you looking to spend on the reupholstered seats? Just seeing how much the material is going to cost and what not.

Post by **scs13** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 8:18 am

changing it to a 5spd is no big deal. does it have a good body and everything? thats an awesome deal, i wish i could find some deals like that.

and bump for a meet sometime soon.

Post by **gnvarnadore** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 11:56 am

yeah the body is in great shape except for a little crack in the front bumper. i went to talk to her today about it and she said she has to check with the dmv because the title has her name and her ex hubby's name on it. im pretty sure they will tell her that its ok for her to sell it. i also found a s13 coupe thats not running for cheap so im thinking about getting both cars. use the s14 for a daily driver and the s13 for a project car, which means i can sell my freaking honda.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:36 pm

We really do need to have a meet. Where everyone on here at normally talks actually is able to go. I dont care where as long as i know a week ahead of time to take off work. My car should look ALOT different in the next few weeks if everything goes right. Really would like to spend some money on some parts but still needs the Fuel Pump fixed and now some brakes.

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:46 pm

I have 2 rear bumpers and one front bumper for an S14 if you need them . You should definitely go for that S14, but if something falls through, let me know if you want this black S13.

Does the non-running coupe have a 5 speed transmission? If so, then voila, you can make the S14 5 speed and worry about the coupe parts later. Just get a whole sr clip for it or something. As far as I know, transmission stuff does not change from S13 or S14

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:49 pm

Pat spill the beans man what are you doing to that thing? Are you going to change the color?

Jordan- hey I've been looking at that side shot of your car trying to figure out what's wrong, also when I met up with John (topless), he talked about how hard it is to get the tire size you want... have you thought about changing tire sizes? I think yours look too small, what if you went with a 205 60 16? That is the size that comes stock on the S14 (look at my sig for a reference). Should be super easy to find used tires in that size, not to mention it just might look and perform better.

I do think 17s are ideal size for an S13, but your wheels look nice, so I don't guess I'd be in a big hurry to change them out.

Somebody correct me if I'm stupid.

Nope, sure doesnt

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:56 pm

Nah, she's staying that color. Im going to be getting a Zenki lip here soon and trying to get rid of the CF hood and just get a black hood for now, i'll be getting those Kouki S14 base models and keep them black or either gold (me and my gold lol) and probably tinted windows. Thats about all i have the funds for right now

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:01 pm

The blue looks nice, and from what I can tell the paint is in good shape. My bro-in-law could probably paint your new hood for you, but what's wrong with the cf? I gotta admit I can't wait to see it without those aweful wheels on it.

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:03 pm

hmm, cf hood trade for black hood.. Brandon might jump on that, or I might if he doesn't. Is it in ok shape and is it considerably lighter?

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:09 pm

HELLA lighter. It has some spidering marks but thats about it. I mean ofcourse its not going to be perfect.

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:25 pm

so why get rid of it? You know you can paint over it.

Man, remind me never to take the Dodge Ram on long trips ever again. It's my bosses old truck, and no one uses it, so he lets me keep it around the house so that it's not just abandoned. It's a 99 with 202k miles and it's really a nice truck interior and exterior wise, and the engine seems to pull strong. But it has some major issues. As long as you're going down the highway you're ok, but NEVER nail it or else it will buck like a bronco, and then once you come to a stop it dies. Put it in park, crank it back up and it idles fine til you put it in gear and then it dies again. It's either got fuel problems, a massive vaccuum leak, bad maf or tps, or all of the above. Not to mention the transmission does not want to upshift. I'm amazed I made it all the way to Clinton, SC and back in it today. Call it bravery or stupidity, but I somehow knew it would make it, but I sure had my doubts once I got halfway there.

I just want the money to use else where i guess. Yea what you described about stalling out when put in gear at a stop, the S13 i sold you did that for awhile also.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:43 pm

Dalzell, is it just me or is that really your engine bay pick this guy is using?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:57 pm

that S13 still does that every now and then. I've worked a lot of bugs out of it and it runs a lot better, but I'm still going to change the maf and see what happens. Also going to do the timing chain guides too.

Check out these wheels:http://ssixproject.com/?p=wheels#

I think that rally gold with the polished lip would set your car off perfectly. Too bad they only come in 18s and not 17s

Notice it's all red, and it's an S13. Dalzells is black except for the core support. The engine looks close though.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 2:11 pm

Those Rally Gold's look amazing. I'll have to see by the end of summer on some new Suspension and Wheels. The car will look better and better slowly but surely

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 2:56 pm

yeah, if your car is the shade of blue I think it is, then it would look awesome.

Post by **scs13** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:23 pm

i really just wanna lower my car some more, which i might do this week since my back struts are already blown haha. but yeah, im running 205 55's in the front and 225 50's in the rear, supposedly thats a common setup and i like it and i love my wheels. i might end up buying some new wheels, maybe 17s if i can find a new job so that i can have some wheels for the mountains and some for rollin on.

yeah the coupe is a 5 speed. that sounds like that would be a good idea to use the coupe to convert the s14. looks like i'll need to find out if it will work. heres the kicker the guy that said hes going to buy my car didnt show up so if he dont call me and let me know whats going on then im just going to sell it to somone else.

Post by **dalzell240** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 11:58 pm

needing some input guyswe just changed the thermostat and waterpump and 2 sensors(shown in picture, one with arrow and one to the right of that one under the red hose)the red and black arrow is pointing to one of the sensors(it red) and now the check engine lights on. it still overheatsit also has a little knock, any idea what it could be

Post by **Redemption1978** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 2:26 am

James I think I need to do this to my coupe. It all depends on pricing of course but look how sexy this is.

Post by **scs13** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 6:05 am

why dont you check if the ecu is throwing any codes. when you filled up the cooling system did you bleed the crap out of it? what do you mean a knock? from where on the engine?

Post by **dalzell240** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 10:49 am

we havent takin it to see what codes its throwin yetwe bled the system again but havent takin it for a spin yetthe knock sounds like it in the valve cover toward the back, like the 3 or 4 cylinder rocker or somethin
