Finally after a 1 month wait, I received my new eyes......
Thank you Super Made for shipping it out through DrivingSPORTS and thank you K-San!
The car will look slightly different on September 28s drift showoff!!!
No more having no front end....will put it back together

Car will look exactly how the headlights on the actual supermade S13 coupe are...same style bulbs and lights

Then I have my Uras low mount Carbong GT wing to install on the car

After that, will be on some new 5 luggers, converting to 5 lug to rock some new babies we will have

Taking alot of the graphics off the car, and making look like a street driven 240sx baller style!


ALRIGHTY THEN.........
Finally after working my ass off at Tires Plus putting in overtime, I finally decided to get my lazy ass motivated...I decided to drive my broke ass car down to Aero K to start the transformation.
Here is a picture of the car right after I pulled it into the shop
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1245.jpg
little better lighting for you guys
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1247.jpg
I had purchased Super Made headlights for my car due to the fact that I need headlights...lol but didn't have the money to buy the lighting system which will be affiliated with the headlight transformation.
I picked up these fog lights hoping they would make a good match and they did, don't you all think?

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1254.jpg
And promoting Ying Ling with the build....lol
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1256.jpg
The car had participated for Nopi Drift Rnd 3 at Englishtown, NJ but ended up having a nice faculty meeting with the wall twice, but no major frame damage just cosmetic and these is where it stands before I touched anything
As you can see, both sides of the Radiator support was damaged but not so major where I had to cut and weld a new one, I can make this work and save a few bucks.

A few extra shots of around the car before I went to work cause i was enjoying drinking my Ying Ling

Before work progressed in ripping stuff off
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1261.jpg
The car also had a nasty boost leak where it wouldn't boost over 3 psi. I decided to fix the front end of the car first before i started pressure testing and this is what i found after ripping the front end off
A new HKS sequential BV type 2
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1269.jpg
Seal busted causing me to loose all psi of boost due to the BV staying wide open at all times
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1267.jpg
After ripping Front Mount and Radiator off to start banging and hammering away
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1264.jpg
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1265.jpg
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1266.jpg
I also decided to relocate the oil cooler because it just wasn't fit at the right mounting point where i had it
Some close up pictures of what i have to fix and straighten out before installing the Super Made headlight conversion
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1271.jpg
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1272.jpg
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1273.jpg
I started moving around my body harness to start hammering away and to my surprise i was covered in ants all over my arms....I was like WTF!!!!! I look down and my body harness had an ant farm that had built their empire in my harness, both of my arms were covered in ants.
The picture below, point out all the little brown spots and those *uckers were everywhere once i touched the body harness
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1277.jpg
After a 30 mins of hard banging and hammering away, this is what the right side looks like now
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1278.jpg
I was able to straighten it up as much as possible, not to bad
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1281.jpg
The left side had the most nastiest crease in their but was able to even it out and here is how it looks now
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1280.jpg
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1279.jpg
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1281.jpg
Installed both new front headlight and radiator support beams(OEM of course)
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1282.jpg
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1283.jpg
Got pretty tired, it was around 12:30am I decided to stop and put the fender on to see how it looks and here it is
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg231/aerokgarage/DSCI1284.jpg

Tonight will go done to the shop again and try to start mounting the headlight conversion onto the car....please stay in tuned for the next step of build pics.
Ill tell ya what, the car came out pretty nice after straighting up the front as much as possible!
Stay tuned for further updates

09-11-2008, 06:42 PM
haha....i said the same shit today when i was uploading the pics.
From banging and hammering the black paint chipped and the red beneath started to show and then everything else makes it a brain fart.

I will be painting everything soon once i get the headlights situated and bolted on

lol....see why I hate florida, those top covers for the headlights were in my truck for two days and at 95+ temps here in florida the FRP started to curl upward....just gotta put a heat gun to it and straighten it up again.

But I am riveting that part with small rivets

My thoughts exactly. That shit looks retarded IMO, and I'm betting light output at night (if you even drive at night, I don't know what you drift kids do after the sun goes down) is going to blow ass.

damn your radiator support went through hella and back.

09-11-2008, 11:30 PM
Once the bendy part is riveted on, it will be very straight. It's thin, but very sturdy.

those lights may look small, but they are blinding! we tested them out and I was seeing white spots after that. And they shoot far.

Team Aero-K
09-11-2008, 11:35 PM
I do have a plan of action....lol

I am thinking about re-inforcing them with a thin sheet of sheet metal and then riveting them onto the headlight itself.

The car will be garage kept and will only be driven during events so i am not to worried.

I ended up going to my friends studio and listen to them freestyle tonight with a whole lotta beer. But tomorrow night will be a night at the shop.

Gotta agree... The myriad of colors/wires/ants/shit/warped metal is driving me nuts too looking at these pictures. I like where your head's at but fuck get a new chassis and transfer your shit over or clean this thing up because its ridiculo.

Once its all repainted and SSR'ed and whatnot I might change my opinion.
