Whats going on guys. I had just bought an s14 Manual transmission convert. Black on Black... if you guys dont know. I had it up for sale. I was going to sell it and get a lower mileaged chassis. THe one i have has 180k on the chassis. But the guy with the s14 that i wanted jus stopped responding. The highest offer i got was 4300. With the current condition it was in. One guy came and lookd at it said it was 2 beat up for his taste. So i decided to keep it cuz of how rare s14s are especially in manual with black leather and how theyre reasle value is awesome even with an sr20 .

Before i go on about what i want from it, am i gonna be fine building it with the current high mileage chassis 188xxx ?

I just dropped it off at the body shop. I want a clean LOOK very sleeper. I Need front lip cuz my zenki one is like gone. I want kouki sides. ill do without a rear valence. As for everything else exterior maybe some kouki tails ... or ill just paint the amber red on my zenki. I also dont really want the he current spoiler... i want something cleaner is there any lips i can get .. i like the kouki wing its not bad. but does it even help with down force ? Id like something clean thatll actually do something at high speeds.

I will be dropping an s14 blacktop. I want an lsd but im not sure what 2 get.... i just want one for traction. I don't drift, and i dont plan 2. The car will be strictly a race-bred street car.. That will be a daily driver as well. Another thing i want to fit wider tires as well ... someone told me to get 300zxtt wheels. But i cant find some anywhere. What else wheels can i get to fit wider tires. (OEM WHEELS PREFERRED). As for performance I will probably be happy with the stock turbo if not ill get the s15 trbo (t28 i think) THANKS !

well sleeper usually means NO body mods, so no lip, no side skirts, and no wing.

and for the wheels, i'd go with 350z wheels.

I dont think I have seen any reasonably price wing for a 240 that shows any kinda of proof of testing...And while I haven't seen any wind tunnel tests of the 240 I doubt much air flows over the decklid...So any wing that actualy does something is gonna look ricey as hell.
