I've had numerous parts just sitting in boxes in my garage and I've always had an excuse (too hot, too lazy) why I couldn't have installed these parts. So, over the weekend I installed most of all of my parts except a Greddy Oil Pan, New Power steering pump, the rest of the Energy Suspension Master Kit and Greddy Pulley Kit. Hopefully I'll get these parts installed the week after next being that next weekend is the Red Bull Drift Event in Long Beach. So here are some pictures of the parts I installed.Here is the before pic.Here are a few pics with my new Wilwood Big Brake Kit w/ Cross-Drilled and Slotted Rotors from Revolution Brake (excellent company and great prices). Also installed are; Tein Tie Rods w/ Energy Suspension Boot Hat w/ new bellows, Tein Tension Rods, Nismo Power Brace, and finally Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings and End Links. One of the problems I ran into was, I stripped the stock brake line fitting even when using a flared nut wrench. You can see a custom line from a local hose shop. On the other side I used a set of vise grips and cranked on it until it came loose, but it still stripped a little bit.I've never really tackled all these jobs before, but thanks to the Nico website I at least had an idea of what I was getting into and helped point me in the right direction. Now some new tires and an alignment and I'll be ready to go. Did I install the rotor on the wrong side? Please let me know. I would feel kinda dumb if that were the case, like I said I've never done this before.

Well I guess I installed the rotors on the correct side. I had to do some searching around. http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/faqs.shtml#16

looking good man!

About the direction of the rotors, I've heard the direction of them argued in both ways.

Thanks Adrian, see you at the Red Bull Event. There is no excuse for you not being there, especially being that you live in Long Beach. Thats funny, I actually drove to Long Beach to purchase my S14.
