What projects have you been up to with all this frigid weather? I've done a few things, plus threw on some all seaons on the front wheels with all this crap weather, the es 100s they replaced were toast. Also awaiting install are SPL steering rack bushings and NISMO clutch pedal bracket.

I've got my turbo kit almost completed. T25g turbo, divorced O2 sensor pipe,480cc injectors, walbro fuel pump, nismo fpr,safc2, and an ebay manifold. Still need down pipe, intercooler, and oil lines. Also been working on my moped fixing a crack in the body and changing the color to effect silver with a candy red over top. Oh yea and I got ingaged. I figured 6 years was long enough for her to wait.

Got the fuel pump, nismo fpr, z32 fuel filter and fuel pressure gauge put in last night. Looking at buying a smic right now, not waiting for dave anymore cause I'm ready to turbo now. I'm tired of this slow *** car.

what have i been up to.. oh god:

1) removed rear subframe, dissasembled all components, por-15'd everything, reinstalled

2) installed aluminum subframe collars

3) removed the 8k/6k spring setup from my stance's and installed the 9k/7k's

4) modified the factory manifold to bolt up to my 80MM Greddy Ti-C catback, the cat flanges where trashed so i had no other choice.. came out pretty slick though

5) got the battery relocation to the trunk mostly done. still need to order my 100amp breakers

6)working on getting my stereo installed into this car (finally)

7) got my alarm installed into this car (finally)

8) still working on a custom upper radiator hose so that is doesnt squish down around my custom short ram intake that goes over to the passenger side

9) oh yeah and i forgot to mention that when the subframe was pulled i also re-undercoated the back half of the car and the wheel wells

10) and last but not least fixed the rust hole in the floor board behind my front passenger seat

havent been taking much pictures but im sure that ill get them up soon

Not a whole lot. Been doing some work for a local shop. Bought an S14. Will be starting the process of putting the CA in there soon. I've purchased all of the parts to turbo the KA and put it in the old S13 so the guy buying it can take delivery.

After that I plan on completely re-doing the S14 suspension from the ground up and fixing some rust.

Nice! Put the gunmetal 5spokes on the coupe and remove the pinstriping on the hatch and it'd look amazing The S14 SE's really look good on black hatches....

Yeah the hatch will be painted here wihin the next year. The coupe is on its way out the door anyways, its getting parted out.

Roller is still for sale.

The hatch loves to roast off the s14 rubber..its too much fun
