My New S14 Project!!

[beater_s14]

So story is I was looking to sell my white S14 KA beater to fund a build for an SR powered S13 coupe. Searching for days I came across a deal too good to be true, a Super clean S14 with an S14 SR20DET :eek2: so a few text messages to a couple people and BOOM! 8 hours after I sold my white POS, I was driving an SR powered S14 home from Indiana, big thanks to cflory08 for the awesome deal! :kiss: .... Got the car back home and started planning what I was going to do with it.

Out with the old!

Started saving up some money for parts, got some sweet deals on little things like an SE front lip and Silvia grill, as soon as got them home I sprayed the lip black ( previously white) and the grill green ( previously black ) also unbolted the "SILVIA" badge in the center of it, didn't like it and the chrome ends were gone which IMO looks better

next up those fugly wheels had to go, 5 lug is a must and I wanted to go big on the wheels cause 17"s just look too small

Im gonna stop you right there..DO NOT i repeat DO NOT get a megan exhaust manifold please. Save up longer and get a correct properly built manifold. Ive been there and done that.

Oh and take out your HIDs, they are not cool, and they blind incoming traffic. Buff out your lenses and het halogen bulbs.

Next tire change try a 35 instead of 40, it will slim down the tire and look a little less "inflated".

I've also been there and done that, I've never had a problem with a Megan manifold, there nothing like the CX racing ones that have to modified to fit, few of my firends bought them for there SR's and they bolted up perfectly, that extra coin for a manifold I can spend else where and I like my HIDs and if you knew how to adjust headlights, they don't blind oncoming traffic

Spend that "extra coin" on the front of your car when you blind an oncoming car and they smash right into you because they cant see. So dont get me started on the HID dilemma because you are completely wrong.

But i never had a problem with the initial fitment, it was after 20k miles on an sr it warped and the welds started to crack.

if you dont mind me asking what green did you use to paint the grill? from a can?

[beater_s14]

I got a pint of blue emerald pearl (FN2) from a local paint supply and shot it with a harbor freight gun, and used some omni clear
