Albert's S14 Kouki Holographic red Build

[240Cali]

Sup? I have always been too lazy to do one of these, but figured why not! About 3 years ago I bought this 95 s14 kouki converted clean title with an sr20 installed.. wed Kranze ERM wheels.. suspension, INGS +1 Kit and sexy pearl pink paint, sadly so much little shit was wrong.. steering bushings were missing!!!, air filter was missing..!! bunch of shit was not tightened right. Harness caught on fire...coilovers were seized..bad fuel pump, rhd turbo elbow so elbow would hit steering shaft, and I am sure you can imagine how far the list goes down.. overall a huge nightmare that lasted longer than I contemplated for, but for my 2nd S chassis this was the ONE I was gonna build to my liking. When I first saw this car, my jaw seriously dropped.. I couldn't believe how good the pearl pink looked with the simple INGS+1 kit and ERM weds wheels, I straight fell in love .. the dude had a DUI or something and let it go for a reasonable price, considering what it had on it. As soon as I bought it I went to a gas station and got sum dudes complimenting me on the paint hahaha I knew right then it had to be completely re done to MY liking and expectations. Another nightmare was that it was registered to NEVADA!! fml I live in sOcaL .. had to pay sum fees work some magic, fill out some paperwork, get it smogged..after that got it insured, registered and we were good to go.

Jordan and Eddie from Jordan Innovations hit me up personally to say they had 9k Bn rep front fenders since I wouldn't shutup about it, at that time Dmax hoods were also available from them, done deal bought them both!

[240Cali]

Jordan Innovations again with their cool parts, found out they had sum D-max type 3 kits in stock.. jumped right on it
http://i62.tinypic.com/se3z1e.jpg
test fitting the kit just when engine rebuild got finished
http://i57.tinypic.com/a9lft2.jpg
Got Sr running solid betta than ever
http://i58.tinypic.com/2556r2t.jpg

Kit on, SR rebuilt, ganadors on! Dmax 3 installed sooo in love
http://i61.tinypic.com/2ic38e8.jpg

Car definetly needed bigger lips, wanted to go wider, went to talk to Alex at wheel flip to see how big and all and stumbled across his S13 Odyvia with Wed Kranze Vishunu wheels and fell in love.. I couldn't stop thinking about them, I didn't know how I would ever fit them.. Put my wheels up for sale anyways and within a week sold old weds went back and paid for Vishunus! we re polished lips to look brand new and mounted sum brand new 595 tires
http://i62.tinypic.com/6edut3.jpg

waited NO time to see how they looked.. rears couldn't even be test fitted from being so wide!! Fronts are 18x10 -10 rears a massive 18x12.5 -44 with a custom 7.5" lip!!! ridiculous I had no idea what I was in for but they looked super nice
http://i62.tinypic.com/fzc8io.jpg

[240Cali]

I originally wanted Origin rear overs.. but the wait time was ridiculous!!! picked up sum what claimed to be 50mm overs .. God, worse thing I could of ever done they were hideous fit so nasty over all just wasn't what I really wanted to do.
http://i59.tinypic.com/2h4aj2t.jpg
Spoke to Raymond over in Az and he just happened to have sum 50mm Chargespeed overs for sale, had one shipped asap . thanks my boy!
http://i61.tinypic.com/efqo41.jpg

http://i60.tinypic.com/24ymkk5.jpg

[240Cali]

It was time... point of NO return!! My boy Max going ham
http://i57.tinypic.com/2d82v04.jpg

Test fit the rears for the first time FINALLY!!! looks promising, a little more camber some bowing and it should be a perfect fit
http://i61.tinypic.com/2rp9unp.jpg
picked up sum Pbm tie rods yeee
http://i61.tinypic.com/zwdrhc.jpg
Found someone selling Dmax roof wing for a good price on craigslist, had to have it.
http://i59.tinypic.com/2mg8idg.jpg
While I was waiting to get wheel fitment right I figured Id start working on interior as well, found sum Q45 door handles, Nismo white shift knob and red bride Shift boot to start making interior cleaner
http://i59.tinypic.com/2r7scwo.jpg
http://i60.tinypic.com/2zpobw3.jpg
Finally found a Bride Zeta II in red for a good price BOSSS
http://i58.tinypic.com/24bq78k.jpg
everything looked real good so far! and thank you to my good friend Rene for letting me rock that white steering wheel for over a year I belive lol
http://i61.tinypic.com/9td401.jpg

[240Cali]

picked up sum solid bushings, gotta love new parts
http://i57.tinypic.com/2nhgh8i.jpg
installed sum suspension stuff, painted subrame and replaced bushings http://i59.tinypic.com/25ezrbr.jpg

CHA CHIIIIING!!!!! wheels finally fitted and I cannot stop starring, cannot wait to get this thing aligned to rivet overs
http://i62.tinypic.com/20ksimx.jpg

on the way to get alignment baby!!
http://i59.tinypic.com/10eiqu8.jpg
Got car back from alignment, put front bumper and side skirts on feeling on top of the world right now!! unfortunately I bowed overs so much that now rear bumper and skirts aren't fitting right so I had to cut overs a bit to meet up with rear bumper and side skirts. looks aggressive a.f! somehow the rear Dmax bumper zip tie came off the one close to the rear wheel thus dragging it on the freeway damaging it pretty bad, I was able to save it, bought a cheap w.e bumper to rock for the mean time
http://i57.tinypic.com/2mdrrlg.jpg

wasn't long before I got annoyed of seeing the fenders out like that, decided to measure trim and cut anything I needed to get it to fit! came out amazing
http://i59.tinypic.com/6poiag.jpg

[240Cali]

test fitted my roof wangg ! Hommie installing his 326 power on his s13 thought I'd see how it looked lol didn't really like it or at least not with ugly rear bumper but oh well roof wing looked great!
http://i62.tinypic.com/abh74w.jpg

over all super happy at how this thing is coming out can't thank all my friends for all the help and support
http://i57.tinypic.com/t9z5nq.jpg

[240Cali]

finally decided to work on Dmax rear bumper to bring it back alive !!
http://i59.tinypic.com/263j4.jpg

decided to sand car down and primer it black, rear Dmax bumper back on!!
http://i57.tinypic.com/2s0cxfp.jpg
http://i60.tinypic.com/2vki7o3.jpg

didn't really like 9k front fenders, sold them bought new BN reps from Fineline tuning they are real 30mm!! and look so much better, dropping whip off for paint!

Always wanted a hitman wheel.. never thought I'd ever come across one.. the day I saw it for sale I knew it had to be mine.. I really didn't care what color it was or how bad the condition was.. it's just one of those things I needed to own. Color is purple and it looks amazing
http://i61.tinypic.com/nzf2id.jpg

Also got around to getting sum checkered floor mats.. always wanted Dmax but could never push myself to spend 3 times what I spend on these and they look fresh!! http://i60.tinypic.com/1zmf534.jpg

[240Cali]

Okay... looks great. interior looks decent, got the external part and interior part (for the most part) looking how I wanted.. it was time to make this thing a real S-chassis! Bought a brand new GTX3071r turbo off a member here, man I can't believe what I got myself into..just like when I bought the wheels lol.http://i57.tinypic.com/2d85qv5.jpg

Nice build so far man! I remember that car the way it was in the pictures. That pink pearl paint was pretty legit, but you've definitely made the car way better.

[soundboy]

Almost look unreal in the pics

[Visionshift]

Kind of a dumb question, but I'm curious how far did up did you cut your stock rear quarters to get those to go as low as you did? I can't find much for trimming S14 rear quarters for over fenders. And you've got the fitment I'm lovin'

[taeisbeast]

Car looks dope man.

damn..

[240Cali]

Hit me up I can get you a better price on these parts you're gonna order

Dm me what parts homeboy!

I cut pretty high just made sure there was enough room to play with rivets, I've seen people cut almost their whole metal fender off, I've seen people bearly cut anything..:picardfp:

Thanks, I will look in to that as well as a Safety 21 cage. I'm 6'3" so I'm looking for something that will clear me with a helmet.

[240Cali]

Got around to sanding cage to get ready for paint
http://i60.tinypic.com/2yor5mt.jpg

[240Cali]

Once it was sanded down with 60 grit 100 grit.. 120.. and 220.. it was cleaned with alcohol and sprayed chrome first
http://i61.tinypic.com/oqgepc.jpg

[240Cali]

Then sprayed a metallic purple clear over it.. clear effex and .025 silver holographic flake from Didspade that I had left over. I debated between white gold and purple for ever finally decided purple would match my steering wheel haha
http://i60.tinypic.com/6sctw1.png

[240KA]

man, i swear i was always getting you two confused. but then again, i'm not really paying attention to your kit vs his, just kinda see the two tone sweg. but i think now both of you are painted, it'll be easier to figure out.

https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/e35/12139844_525028974344886_814011259_n.jpg

[240Cali]

Yeah I've never had Bn kit or Lxz wheels

[Malik]

neither have I

[240Cali]

As soon as. Switch over it's all yours. Sell me your wheels

Wheels aren't for sale haha, any idea on when you'll be switching over? A month or 2?

[Juucso]

Oh wow, I love your car! Good work! :)

[240Cali]

Got second wastegate in.. and both dump pipes!!
plan is to run it thru the hood, might have to cut and weld to get it to fit where I want.. right now it's time to finally order my Futurefab T3 twin scroll manifold
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=cb0538aefa&view=fimg&th=1508e949c396cdbc&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=1515717764280483840-local0&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ97L8-Fu-6UucCGkauNoJuO0qmbn1PBocem6PVRrl0r7GpDWYF4ui28zOog eWnU-BKZt3IXpGOr8FecCUaFFjQsdJYCQ-FtLrPIavUAOywGYdD-KqpJjk20jhA&ats=1445501133894&rm=1508e949c396cdbc&zw&sz=w1237-h687

Debated real long if I wanted to open up SR head for cams valve springs and retainers.. but I'm really not trying to do more than 350-400 hp and I keep seeing sr set ups with GTX turbo get to 400 with stock cams.. so now Parts list needed for turbo..
-Exhaust Manifold
-Apexi Power Fc D-jetro
-fab up intercooler hot pipe (for top mount turbo set up)
-fab up 4 inch intake piping
-Tune / Dyno
almost there lol
ROll cage will be on the car this weekend!
