S14.5 Build. Full of pics & shit.

[jaydueces]

Purchased my S14.5 on November 15,2013 from a shop owner out of Temple, Tx.
Only been about 2 months & some change till this point but figured i would share
some progress/build photo's w/ you all. The overall condition of the vehicle was in
good shape & came w/ a healthy sr20det motor. Here is how it was purchased...

The white paint was a little mis-matched on several panels of the car & had some
damage to drivers side door, a faded carbon hood, & some hail damage on roof of
the car so body & paint work was definitely in the list of things to come.

Wasn't really feeling the front bumper so I ended up purchasing the Vertex-
style bumper.

Went to the Paint shop to catch some paint booth action. The wing was removed
& trunk holes were filled for a more cleaner look..

Time for some wheels. I travelled down to Houston & picked up some
Bronze XD9's 18x10+18 all around w/ 225/40's mounted

Needed some spacer's since wheels would make contact w/ the coil's
so I ended up buying some 15mm spacer's from a local to play it safe.

Since the car was on KYB struts w/ drop suspension springs when
purchased, My next purchase was a set of coilover's. I Had BC's on my
previous vehicle's & they perform flawlessly each time so I went w/ these
over stance.

^Quality is shit.

Definitely needed some kouki tails to kick off the looks department so
picked some up from another Houston Local. Was fading the common
greyish-purple so I purchased a Black plastic spray paint from Autozone &
refreshed them up..

Perfect.

The Greddy intercooler that came w/ the car was functional but was
hella-bent & banged up so i ended up catching a new one...
