My S13 Coupe Build Thread

[driftsilvias13]

Well I finally feel comfortable enough to make one of these build threads. After owning 7 S-Chassis as well as a total of 21 cars in the past 7 years, I think this will be my last build until I am older. Purpose of this car was to be my drift car and just for fun. Lots of pics are missing and I skipped all the little stuff. Let me know what you think!

I purchased the car from a fellow zilvia member like this:

Purchased some brand new PBM Coilovers and ended up swapping front ends with a friend:

Ended up getting B-Magic front fenders, Shine front bumper and a D-max hood too:

Then started to gut and strip the interior of all the tar and sound deadening which was the worst. I dont think I'll ever do that again.

Started to purchase SR parts before the swap:

Also ripped out the KA and painted the engine bay (paint color is electric daytona blue) and put the SR20 in:

I then purchased a BN Blister STYLE kit from RACEONUSA which to my surprise fit well and started sanding the car to prep for paint + 5lug and other small things:

Yeah I planned on doing a lot more but currently I have 3 other cars and will probably sell this one.

[stEVOVIII]

Is the engine bay the only thing painted for chassis wise?

[stEVOVIII]

Also, any rust?!?!

The interior is painted daytona electric blue as well.

No rust, this car was pretty clean when I got it! Straight frame and a base model so no runroof. Exactly what I was looking for.

[HPKMotorsports3]

[NismoTuner21]

Nice build! Needs less stretch or more aggressiveness and more low.

[Michael Nolan]
