stickgoat's S14 now has Eibachs and exhaust! Pics.

[stickgoat]

Yes, yes it does. I finally installed the springs I've had sitting in a corner for 9 months, and I also finally had exhaust done.

Springs - Eibach Pro-Kits on stock struts. Handling is amazing, very tight, nimble. Drop was exactly what I was looking for, not too much, not too little. 1.2" in front, 1" in rear according to Eibach specs. I'll be adding KYB AGX struts as soon as I buy them and then have the motivation to rip my suspension apart again.

Exhaust - I went the custom route and am VERY pleased with the results. I bought a 3A Racing muffler off ebay for about $80 bucks. Straight-through design, dual resonated 3"tips. I took this beast to an exhaust shop and had a 2.5" mandrel bent pipe put on. Exhaust is now very straight, it sounds orgasmic, very deep, throaty, and mellow. Power gains were quite nice as well, I did NOT lose any low-end, and definitely gained mid and high end power. So damn torquey.

Here are some pics of the revised '96:

I am VERY happy with my car at this point.

[Rockenreno]

looks great stickgoat! :thumbup

[Anand]

nice work summer.... now where are the pic's with you in it!?!? :naughty

[Former_240_s14]

i really like the mandreal bends............clean and good install!

[Meantime]

Very cool and tasteful. I was weighing the Pro-kit vs. S-Tech myself.

I like the exhaust, looks real wiz..."almost" factory but just a little nicer looking, rather than those oversized annoying buzz-cans I keep seeing on the highways. I'm glad you had such good results on both mods.

[srlakin]

Looks awesome Snorb!

-gotta love PT

nice work summer.... now where are the pic's with you in it!?!? :naughty

I'll get some soon Anand....just for you.

Thanks for the comments ya'll. Best part about the exhaust, I got it done for $100 bucks flat. 2.5in piping and muffler install. Muffler Works 0wnz me.

hey... you need to send some pic's in for the NICO girls calendar as well... send some pics ove to Hitman... we need a few more girls to get the calendar out!!

[stickgoat]

Ha...thanks but no thanks.

Never been interested in posing on my car or anyone else's. I'd rather be recognized for kicking azz on the tracks than for looking good in a swimsuit.

[AZhitman]

NO swimsuits! We just want to show how many chicks share our love for cars...

Hope you'll reconsider Summer - You're a big part of NICO and we'd love to have you participate. Put on some jeans and a t-shirt and get a pic with your 240. C'mon, it'll be cool!

BTW, the car looks GRAT now! Nice and clean, perfect drop!

[Anand]

it's not that kind of a calendar... it is a normal one.. yo u don't have to dress up or anything.. no swimsuits, no skimpy clothes...

go read the thread in general section.. I think it's a great idea... we even have a member who submitted a pic of his baby girl with her mom... (I think)

[lessthanjakejohn]

stickgoat, your car looks great

since when has hitman been known as a knight?

[Cyberkreig]

"NO" is harsh language, why dont we leave it open ended?

sticks car looks good too. Got rid of that unsightly fendergap!

[96_S14_SE]

we even have a member who submitted a pic of his baby girl with her mom... (I think)

You talking about lilgold? Then thats a pic her baby and herself hehe...

Oh and summer, car looks nice as always. The ride height looks stock to me now as mines been a tad lower at 1.75-1.5 for 2.5 - 3 yrs.... Stock ones look jacked up though..

BTW did you know you have the elusive dual cats?

[stickgoat]

BTW did you know you have the elusive dual cats?

Yes....gotta love OBDII. Ah well.

And for those of you who just can't stop wondering what I actually look like, here. I took this literally 2 minutes ago:

How youuu doiinnnn!?!?! :naughty

Summer... you really need to get some pic's in the calendar... it's going to be great...

[stickgoat]

Fine, fine. :pface

It sounds decent enough, I went and read the thread. I'll look into it.

[yeswepromise]

i like your car. i dont see the gold color too much. i need to kill my fender gap as well. g'day

[Anand]

Fine, fine. :pface

alright! one more month ... all we need is a few more ladies and we have a calendar..

see, I would send in my pic's but I don't think people would want to see a SBG... although...

I would send in pic's of my car...hmmm..maybe a month to itself if we don't get enough ladies.!??!?!

She is a NICO girl after all... she even has a acouple NICO tat's on her...

[Cyberkreig]

how does it feel to have a car club full of men oogle over you? Thats gotta be good for the self-esteem.

[96_S14_SE]

but none of the 97-98 have them, and its hit and miss on the s14b's as to which have them as well... Only way to tell simply is by the heatshield or the brackets, or the weld spots for the brackets if you happen to rip those both off ... The single cat ones dont have any traces of a HS on the dummy.

Good thing is if you run a HS header you wont have to buy a new cat to be "legal". I just kept mine on as N1 + 2.5" ss test pipe + HS was extreamly loud, but with the N1 and HS and stock cat it sounds good. I have a 3" SS tesp pipe on the shelf I made for the KA-T, but its been there a long time now.

Oh and you posted your picture in the air dam repair how to you made. So you really didnt have to post a new one, but they are always nice anyway Looks good, even though its kinda odd being so dark, after you saving it was 2 mins ago in the middle of the day hehe

[yeswepromise]

summer = hot. no pun intended.

[Meantime]

Agreed, URAQT.

[stickgoat]

96 S14 - I'm debating on whether to be a HS header or not. I want one, but I know I'm going the SR20 route eventually, so part of me just wants to conserve cash for that. I know I don't want a test pipe, I never really care for the exhaust note with those on. I'm content with the cat, although a high-flow I wouldn't be opposed to but can't seem to find anywhere.

The pic looks dark because I'm inside my apartment with the light off and the blinds closed. I've been too lazy to turn it on, so, yep. The light is camera flash and monitor glow.

And you're right, I did have a pic of myself with that front lip restoration. Forgot about that. Ah well. This one is better anyway. My lip is scraped up again already I need to redo it, I suppose.

Kreig - While no one dislikes compliments, but it actually doesn't make too much difference to me to be "oogled" over . I'm taken, and happily secure with myself as it is.

But thanks to those of you who have commented either on my car or myself.

[Onizuka]

you can get a high flow 3" cat at http://www.heavythrottle.com they have awsome customer service if anything goes wrong also.

[stickgoat]

Sweet! Thanks for posting that. Catco is even my preferred brand.

[96_S14_SE]

You dont want to see my front lip its, um bad. Its almost completely flat now as my driveway shaved it to work properly, and has some massive chips in it.. The drivers side vent support is cracked straight through as well. It actually has a very slight angle to the grind as I must come in at an angle, and still catch it if I dont. I also like to rest it on parking curbs hehe, and impale cones into it at high speed.

I was thinking of leaving it how it is and adding a white vinyl "cone killer" sticker to the center, spanning between the two vents
