FULL TRACK S14 Under CONSTRUCTION!!

finally got around to starting my build thread. still trying to retrieve my pictures from the past work. but ill start it off with the day i got my car.
car is a 1995 s14 not SE.

project plans to build this in to a drift car. it will be coming along slowly but steady. when i get a better daily driver it will become 95% drifting. and just legal enough to drive to a track or meets.

this is what it had when i first got it.
-ka-t setup
-t25 turbo
-hks bov
-safc II
-untuned
-some ebay exhaust
-250 Wilbro fuel pump
-carbon fiber hood
-tokico shocks and some kind of springs i forget.
the rest you can see. just a huge epic fail. lol huge mess everywhere.

this is what it looked like the day i got the keys.












keep in mind i got this car for $2k the way you see it
even though its not an SE it has a sunroof and power doors, mirrors.

this is my inspirational picture



to bad this Dmax kit no longer available the main reason i went kouki was bcuz of this kit

i lost all my build pictures with my old phone. how ever i did find a few of my engine swap. and from now on ill be sure to take lots more and up load as i build.

in that case ill tell you guys what i did this far,
first thing i did the week i got it was primer paint it all one color. was shooting for more of a army green but got more of tiel thats not to bad looking. its temporary until i get my body kit and other stuff. then it will be a nice green. but wont say until i get there.

got a zenki lip, swapped most of the interior in to black with nice black seats. everything but the dash, witch will be sued later on.
B&M shift knob. (cuz its heavy and doesn't vibrate much with the short shifter)

welded diff
smoked zenki tail lights (temporary tell i get led ones)

all this in the first 2 weeks since i had it. after work ill get back on and share more with what happened up to date. and post up some pictures later tonight, if nothing comes up to keep me busy.





interior is all black but the dash witch later will be suede

then later i went to drift with my roommate and i blew my engine. and he hit a curb hard on his s13

this is right before the engine swap. note all the work done by me!



this is my first engine...





this is during the swap...



heat wrapped... (since i had to change my turbo 3 times its not as nice any more. a little ripped up in one side.) not on picture..









new engine... after i wrinkle painted my valve cover and all new seals. and checked everything making sure is not worn or broken. cleaned her up. almost ready to install.





running, s15 SR injectors, polished my manifold best i could for as long as my patience held up. this is as much as i got during the swap. if i find more ill post up

here is when i got it tuned at PSI in portland





this is the first time i tuned it and had 260 TQ and 240HP

the secont time when i got new turbo, fuel reg., and injectors i was pushing 260HP-ish anda little under 300TQ peak at like 3k rpm

ok new coilovers







OLD suspension



new coilovers!!



new rims!!



PBM lug nuts

PBM hood spacers for better air flow. looks cool i think







the rims are ROTA p45r 18x9.5 +12 in front (no spacers) and 18x9.5 +15 rear (with a 25mm spacers)

rolled fenders front and rear. the way it sits now is to low to drift. yes it HELLASCRAPE style right now lol but looks cool.

got to paint my roof 2-tone and got my paint for my car for later!!











got me some suspension peaces! CUSTOM made lower control arms by SVP
relocated my steering rack, and more PBM parts



made my own bracket using the OEM mirror to hold these bad boys



test fitted my bumper to see what i got going on

So I over steered in to a big curb about a month before those last pics! Here are some pics! Sorry for cell phone pics. That's all I had handy!

So far I got a new steering rack and got it moved forward!
Notice how much it's closer to center over the oem!

Parts list I got!

-new tension rods
-spl tie rod ends
-eBay temperary intercooler. (v-mount later)
-kouki projectorless headlights! (don't hate I love the way they look over stock)

-F1 mirrors
-tow hooks
-optima batt + relocate kit
-rain guards JDM

-most likely other things just don't remember off the top of my head. Will post pictures through out the week and build! Thanks for looking

Got my LED tail lights on, rear bumper and side skirts on. Will run un painted for a few weeks. Rear tow hook and thats about it for then

Got my e-brake in and new custom trim to keep it some what clean!

New custom powerbrace



Some pictures from under the car.
Custom lower control arms and brace. Custom steering rack in place. SPL ends. Etc







Got my custom jack rails welded. Can jack it up anywhere under both sides now and not worry about my side skirt




New custom exhaust tip! replaced the Megan muffler. I live the way they turned out! They look better in person! Sound badA$$!!





In the picture they look small but they are bigger in person. I wanted dual 4" tips but they didn't have them so I got the biggest they had. And they turned out great I think!

Just got a fresh coat of primer on my body kit! Working on a few dings here and there and my quarter panel then will be ready for paint!




Got a wire re routed to clear my tire


First layers of my Chevy Camaro SS green



Now first layer of clear



Finished body parts

















Almost all together! Got to drop it a little! Put on the hood, alignment, clean her up, then take real pictures!

Cut out my rear fenders and welded the 2 together. inner and outer. just need to fill some of the holes with silicone



and will install these bad boys =)
