zenki check in (s14)

[coreansurfer]

wow, ****ing wow.

you ****ing put a hd lip on a s15 front end

you are a ****ing idiot

sell your car to someone who isnt a jackass.

[spooled240]

reminds me of what I did, it was a bad mistake on my part.

If you want to take that lip off(plz!!), fill the holes with bondo and touch them up with some paint, it should work really well if you get the bondo smooth.

[silvia_twins]

I figured I would add this to the zenki and kouki thread. I am selling my s14 Koiuki silvia for 8K if you are in japan only

zer...00000

[silviaz13]

haha....the last owner did it not me.......i already took it off the second day i bought the car

[BrianHarte]

[sunnys14]

Please please, post more s14.5's on this zenki thread since it makes total sense...

Get those s15 fronts outta here, go make your own S14.5 thread.

Posting a 14.5 on a zenki thread is as dumb as someone posting a kouki on a zenki thread.

[TerminalVelocity]

New car Brian? That thing is lowww.

[BrianHarte]

no, that was my blue car years ago.

[spooled240]

brian what wheels are on the front?

btw, your car never seems to have turn signals lol

[BrianHarte]

Weds RS5.17x9 +9

they happen to be for sale right now too.$450 with tires. (I only have a pair of these wheels)

Yeah, those big oval clear signals look ugly so I took them out and made my corner lights into the signals.

[ThuG LyFe]

^is it hard to do that?

i always wondered why older nissans and other japanese cars had the turn signal on the front bumper and not the corner lights....

is there a way to reverse the wiring to make the corner lights blink and the front lights work as parking lights?

[young-gunn]

cut/swap wires/solder?

And for good measure





^I got a a pillar pod set to get that gauge off my column, and that slush box is coming out on monday. Got my Clutchmasters kit today

[ThuG LyFe]

yea i'm not good with wiring at all so i don't wanna mess anything up...but oh well. i'll live.

[ddgsxr504]

Hey Brian, what size tires do you recommend for 17x9 wheels. I hate the feel of low profiles on the highway so right now I'm running...

17x9 +15 Front on 235/45 and 17x10 +12 on 255/40.

I want to step down a size so I can lower the car some more.

Right now I'm thinking 225/45 F and 245/40 R

??? Suggestions?

[stephen240]

Hey man, I don't if you found the answer to see, but I was just checkin in on the zenki check in.

Anyway, if you have a manual s14, and curise not working. All you need to do is put your foot behind the clutch pedal and pull it towards you (the clutch return spring is prob worn out like mine is ) and then press the "set cruise control" button and there you go...

If that doesn't workThen I have nf idea...

[stephen240]

Hey blackmagic i sent you an email, I don't know what was best to contact you.

I was wondering where you got the grille and lip spoiler?

Thanks

[ThuG LyFe]

ddgsx i'm running 235/40 all around on 17x9 and it fits perfect. 45 is too tall IMO. but since you have 10's in the back maybe 225/40 and 245/40 in the back?

Just a note, when you factor in the stretch from putting a 235 on a 9 inch wide wheel, having the 45 series sidewall will put you right at about stock overall diameter. A 235/40 is shorter than stock even when straight up. I don't know if you care about stock diameter though.

[ThuG LyFe]

^actually it's not. at least not according to the miata conversion machine that i tried a while ago. it turned out to be like 1-2mm bigger than stock. (i had 15's too) also 235 on a 9" wheel isn't stretched that much...at least it seems like that to me.

[BrianHarte]

17x9s

Front, ideally 215/40-17. Rear, 215/45-17

I am looking to retain "somewhat" of stock diameter for the speedo which is why I am running the set up I have now. Also I want to have the front and rear tires running similar diameter and sidewall height as well.

When I got the wheels from my friend it had 235/40 and 255/40/ However the sidewall on the front was super thin and the rear was fat. I run 235/45 now and they are almost identical sidewall height.

By switching to the size I offered the sidewalls and diameters will be very similar but will give me the needed stretch to tuck tire a little more so I can lower her down a bit more.

The tire calculator assumes the tire is on a wheel sized such that the sidewall is parallel to the face of the wheel. (giving the biggest diameter that sized tire could possibly give) When you put a tire on a wheel that is wider than the tread width of the tire, the overall diameter is smaller than the diameter given by the calculator.

The 235 bridgestone re050s on my 17x9s are angled in (stretched) slightly, which would about make up for the increased diameter the 45 series tires would give had they been straight up.

The tire sizes you posted (225/45 and 245/40) will definitely have similar sidewalls and diameters to eachother. Their diameter should also be close to stock. I would go with those.

Hey Brian, I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on what I should do with my car :p Sorry no camera for now..

[spooled240]

17x9s

Front, ideally 215/40-17. Rear, 215/45-17

the fronts will be slightly wider than the rears tho, I'd say go with a 235/40/17 in the rear
