Sup everyone, just picked up a new vert. I'm new to verts, but not to 240's. I've owned my S14 for almost 10 years, but always wanted a vert as a daily. 116K on the clock as of right now. Already registered the car in the registry, the previous owner was already on the list so I just updated it.







Here's a pic of the S14 as well.

Very nice paint looks good as well as the interior. What are your plans with it?

Thanks. I picked up some 5-lug hubs already. I have a set of Starion rims and 270R rims that aren't being used. The TC rods also need to be replaced.

I'm gonna eventually get aero, maybe CF hood/trunk. The car is gonna stay automatic so the wifey can drive though. I have the S14 to bang through the gears with.

So with the help of 2 friends, I tackled the 5 lug swap yesterday. Being new to S13's I found out a few things. Wound up replacing the LCA. My friend had a set of S14 LCA's on him with a new ball joint and new frame bushing. The S13's ball joint is larger in diameter then the S14's. We couldn't get the spindle to seat properly on it. Also had to drill out the mounting holes on the strut itself to accomodate the larger bolt the S14 spindle uses. Ordered new bolts because I didn't have them. 270R rims, 225/50 all around. Had some rubbing up front, slap some 5mm spacers on and all was good. Still need to align the car.







The Corolla in the background will be for sale soon as well.
