New pics of the ess one four (I also need some help w/ "flush" wheel fitment)

[Nonsense]

How did you tuck the wire on the Drivers side? Just curios im having a issue with that

[spooled240]

i took off the fender, kind of a pita by yourself if you don't wanna scratch your paint then i just pulled the wiring harness grommet out of the fender well (it can come out a little bit and give you some slack) then you're gonna want to put that wiring harness higher up over the spot welds on the ...idk what you call it fender wells? you'll kinda see where you need to put the wires, there's a flat piece of metal w/ spot welds on it and you're gonna wanna put the wire on that..then just drill and use zip ties(preferably metal ones) or just some kind of fastener to get it to hold.

I used a bunch of plastic zip ties which is kinda stupid now that i think about it, they are probably gonna need to be changed out in like a year or so

edit: so i b****ed out and just raised the front .5" and threw some camber at it but it helped sooooooooooo much with the rubbing. I'm gonna camber it a little more and see if it rubs maybe -3.5 camber?

yeah, thats what i was gonna say just raise it back up a little and run more camber lol

car looks good....im still waiting for you to paint those skirts to match your lip

[spooled240]

i'm running a pretty ridiculous amount of camber up front with it raised a tad more, the front lip is 4.5" off the ground from the 3.5" it once was in the pics. Rubbing is almost nonexistent, except maybe a little in a hairpin at full-lock.

i'll get some 225/40's when i need tires then i'll go lower

[Jdmstyles]

Nicee you got a lip. I'm gonna assume you removed both collars? Is it maxed out? from what I remember you're running Godspeeds no?

Mmmm that's a good height for DD'ing. Keep it up. I like.

[spooled240]

^yup, 200 dollar coilovers ftw the rears are maxed out so i had to play around with the spring perch to get it lower but the front can go to the ground, I still have like 3 inches before i need to remove any collars

that height was waaaay too low for dd, i scraped my driveway EVERY time i drove in, and rubbed when I drove around a parking lot lol. I raised the front up an inch from what you see in the pics and it doesn't rub anymore.

I'm tempted to just buy some 225/40's but i still have to pay that damn ticket

[Jdmstyles]

oh wow Godspeeds go lower than I thought. I read some lousy reviews then. and 200 bucks is a steal!

and ouch ticket is still valid? haha. Reinstall your turbo set up again? I really think you should blackout all your pipings and fmic. Is yours a bottom mount turbo? I never saw your set up.

[locoluna825]

hey josh! make me one of those entennas, lol

[spooled240]

^ i have extra screws to make another

yeah i was never planning on getting them but surpisingly they are decent, kinda rough but decent and way better than worn stock suspension.

check my pics again for teh intercooler

[locoluna825]

lol cool screws! dude your car is awesome, looks good weather its scraping or 2 feet of the ground. I love koukis

[Jdmstyles]

;o is the intercooler painted black or is that just dark because of the lighting? Hopefully this guy I'm dealing with replies. He's selling some Jic coils for 400 bucks.

I like your new fog lights and also where you mounted them.

[spooled240]

it's black, it was polished before. Those are factory silvia fogs with yellow tint on them

[Jdmstyles]

oh haha I'm a noob when it comes to S14 stuff.. Your car is looking good man I'm envious.

You only painted the intercooler and not the pipings? ;o

[spooled240]

yeah i didn't even bother, w/ my topmount setup black pipes aren't gonna make the ka look stock

[a240sxpinoy]

looks good man! how was the hammering of the fenders! lol

[spooled240]

thx man, it was alright not too hard at all i have to beat your wheel fitment next time haha

[locoluna825]

yea i got new wheels. spent all my money too XD. and yea i read up on zilvia about the new meet. i couldnt make it for the first one. i was down the hill.

[spooled240]

same here, next month! lol

[a240sxpinoy]

haha we both runnin american brand rims. lol

im lookin at some 18s but its 10" wide all around. dont think it can clear with the fronts. but the rears would look beefy with 18x10.

i was thinkin of maybe just cuttin the fronts down to an 9" or something. ill see what comes up. just got a puppy and its taking a lot of time from my hands.

[spooled240]

what size are your wheels? I want some 17's, easier to lower w/out having to tuck tire

[Jdmstyles]

I might even be ballsy enough to get some 17 Diamond Racing steelies.. Join me!

[LOVERboy]

DR have 17s? o.O show me!

[Frank E Bones]

I want some 17's

Really? If u want to see what 17's look like on an S14 (Too small, I think) just look at my New to Nico thread. I have some pics of my 17x9 962's.

[spooled240]

i want 17's up front and 18's in the rear

[Frank E Bones]

Thats kool bro. I guess it depends on the wheels you get, huh? What wheels are u leaning towards?

[spooled240]

dunno, i'm just looking around for a good deal. I'll probably just get some small tires up front tho another set of wheels would be too much =/

[Jdmstyles]

DR have 17s? o.O show me!

From what I know, you can have 17x24's.

mine right now are i believe 17x7.5 up front and 17x8 on the rear. offset are unknown because they dont say on the back. only marking it has is 5x4.5 which is the bolt pattern. lol

I might even be ballsy enough to get some 17 Diamond Racing steelies.. Join me!

i was thinking about those Diamond Racing steelies too! but as of now no cash! lol

[spooled240]

they must have a decent offset i mean you did win best wheel fitment lol

i preloaded my front pretty good, and lowered her back down. I'm still at a lot of camber up front but rubbing has gotten a lot better. Maybe i'll preload them a tad more
