[KA24DESOneThree]

I think wow. I normally don't like bling and all the extra stuff you have on there, but it's clean as hell and looks incredible. Two thumbs up.

[240trainee]

Wow, very nice. hows it drive? Hope you plan on beating on it, not just show queening it.

[ZK]

Looking good. The fender flares arent my thing but in this case it goes with the rest of the kit well. Very clean.

[Dousan_PG]

cool
i hope its not a show car. ugh

[SilviaDriver]

from looking back at his old car [yellow Cwest] it seems as if it IS a show car. i see the same plans for this car. but only the owner can tell us otherwise

[dvdevo]

cool
i hope its not a show car. ugh
that would be a waste of a turbo that coulda been given to me so i can get to work faster.

[i-love-my-s14]

that is a beautiful car, but i hope it likes to take a beating once and a while.

[ucfz31s13]

show car or driven car

looks fcuking sweet

nice job

i'm not one for s15 fronts and lotso body shit, but that is good taste

[ThatGuy]

Not bad, I'd lose the stickers and get to driving though.

[WhiteNissanS13]

wow thats hot.

[S13Dreamin]

Looks nice. I'd say to each their own on the whole show car thing, but as long as this thing gets unleashed once its retired from the show floor, its all good. :p

[bing]

that is one of the hottest S-chassis cars going i'd say...

i hope you DONT abuse it, and KEEP the stickers if they are reppin people who helped you build that thing.

and if you abuse and damage that thing it would be a waste.

S13's are for battling, and some S14's, but anything with that kind of money invested is for Rolling HARD!!!!

[IvanAtSPRacing]

your car is absolutly gorgeous. I think it has to be one of cleanest looking S14.5s I have ever seen. I hope that my car looks half as good when it comes out of paint.

[atom]

Not my style but it's cool you took the time to do it right. I'm personally not a fan of the vader hood and eyebrows.

[zeek]

Dizzzammn nice

[OptionZero]

front kit is nasty and doesn't flow with the sides and rear

otherwise, we've all seen Cwest sides and rear before

Sorry, just doesn't seem special to me, nothing personal

Your car though, props for having the cash to do all that

[DRFT]

^ i agree, not feeling the front at all, nor the rest of the kit and the flares, but the car is kept very clean overall. much props to you for all the swear and tears you put on this car!

[240silvia]

BLING BLING...... :rawk:

But, if they aren't sponsors..... get rid of those stickers, would be extremely clean then. Bad ass car though man, I'd love to have it!

[WhiteNissanS13]

dude that car is so hot, i hope you dont mind but it became the wallpaper on my cell phone
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/DriveThruRecFan/PICT0659.jpg

[NorCalS14]

Extremely nice and clean! Would look great with a Silvia K wing IMO.

Other than that, it's very nice. Would you mind telling me what body kit that is?

[KiDyNomiTe]

Car just doesn't flow right, probably look better with mirrors and a spoiler or something. Would have been nicer with an S14 front.

[KoukiMonster]

im trying to imagine if final konexxion mirrors would look any good on it...

[kazuo]

Fuck the haters dude, your car is hot. Seriously. Nice & clean and good taste.

But maybe some new wheels? That's the only part I'm not feelin', really.

Props

[s13silady]

your car is BEE A OOOOO TTTTEEE FFUUUULLL! props to you...

[KiDyNomiTe]

Fuck the haters dude


But maybe some new wheels? That's the only part I'm not feelin', really.


Weels look good but just doesn't look right with all the other things.

[240silvia]

sssshhheeeiiiitttttt, those wheels are amazing!!!!!! That dish on the back.... :faint: I bet he LOVED buying those tires though, lol.

[hotrodv]

WOW !!
Very nice pics!!

[psychedelicbeats]

you haters just kidding. that's all c-west. even the over fenders are from c-west s15 styling. looking high class like how it's suppose to be.

you beat me to it (the c-west shit)... too bad i always trash my car at gymkhana event or whatever else which give me a reason not to finish the front end.

[NZO]

I hate GT-7s with a passion, but rest of the car looks pretty hard. I think the flares work well with the other pieces.

[brianglawson]

nice car tashi, looks better than the old one:)

[Ian]

oh man, i've heard of you...i hope to see this car around some time on the highway...better believe i'll give you a run, whether you stomp all over me or not :p


you used to have the yellow S14.5 that was sponsored by NX right? my friend soap told me about you and that he once got a ride in your car

[s156spd]

Aww shizzle not bad. so most of u guys like the car.. cool thnx for the compliments, and its allgood to those who dont like it. as far as me driving the car or running the car or racing the car yall call the shots when and were ill run it on the track ill street race ill even try a lil drifting. ive been in the import scene for over 6 years. i dont built race cars i dont build show cars i build magazine cars. and thats that. stickers are shotouts for sponsors and shows are to get love from the public more love more free shit, can yall dig...thnx for the support and evryones opinions.

-tashi

[240dreamer]

very nice... just needs dual tips :D

[RedlineRacer]

I don't know, i loved it when it was yellow. its still hott, but i think yellow was better.

[97DubTruck]

yeah i like s14 fronts a little better but you spend some time on it and i can appreciate that. nothing wrong with the show car thing if you do that on the side. i take my s14 to shows for the hell of it and still drive the shit out of it. looks good.

[justinhustle]

i dont like s14.5's but your car is nice.

anyone could order parts n toss em on. it just looks like you got an amex and went to speed alliance/cip motorsports/etc and spent like 7k for bolt on basics

still a nicely put together cookie cutter :)

[MakotoS13]

fit and finish = teh siht

RAWK!

[rainier]

i dont really care if its for all show. its still hot and it still had alot of money put into it. abviously you like it so yeah. nice car.

[240silvia]

I think overall it's obvious this guy spent a lot of time on it. Body lines look ok from the pics provided. Still, those wheels :rawk: I like it, and if I saw it somewhere, I would def. do a double take! :lockd:

Deep Dish wheels own.....

[Fastback180]

Would have been nicer with an S14 front.


ding ding ding!
we have a winner
totally agree!

[kuruptR]

yikes, that car is a little tooo clean.

[gonzoes14k]

I like it clean flashy cars key word clean. Tho I love more clean/flashy whips that get driven hard. Mainly cause it harder to upkeep a Go/show car.

[Marty]

are those HID headlights?

[supers0nic]

i saw your car in hin ac, nice the other s14.5 was nice too. i liked urs better

[s14vaxlr8]

hey tashi its cody from nova, cars looking nice, jr had told me a while back you totalled it, is that was casued the new body work?

[meatish]

LOVE the 7 spoke wheels. Personally I dont care if you race it or not, cos it's just an internet car, but all around a dead sexy car aesthetically. Keep it wingless, peeeeeel those decals off and I will give it 2 thumbs up.

[bing]

magazine car.

another way of saying "show car"

wat do magazine cars do? sit there and look good.

wat do show cars do? sit there and look good.

[KyoLo]

I agree it's a clean bling bling car. I like it. As a show car.

[Advan]

It is beautiful....just noticed a small problem, that the front bumper and fender don't fit all that well. Beautiful though.

[Ian]

show cars dont have to have as much GO and bling factor as magazine cars though!


the magazine cars have to have it ALL...show cars dont have to have as much...dont you think? like i alawys see magazine cars like..."FASTEST S2000 EVAR W/ VTECTURBONAWZZZZZ"

[BobbyBoy]

Regardless the car is tight, and prolly has more go than most of you "talkers" Sometimes looks come before, motorwork.

And the only thing better than magazine cars are cover cars :boink:

nice ride tashi. I always see your car when i drove home from anywhere, (I'm in the red s14 zenki that's lowered but with hubs). I live like 2 blocks from you and drool over your car each time I drive by it. If you ever need help with your cars let me know I'll be willing to help, I saw jon by your place last night, didn't stop though b/c I didn't know it was jon at first. I'm not good in mechanical stuff but I'll help in any other way I can, just hit me up at 571-278-8179 if you are ever working on it (that is if you still are, is it done already)

Nice s14.5. the yellow one with black stripes was hot, this one is a nice successor

Mine will come one of these days...

[element240]

i like it much better than when it was yellow

[publicenemy137]

yeah yellow is a nice color. white is a lil bland and boring, though I do like that CF hood on it. Or yellow + carbon fiber hood = real nice

[s156spd]

Mine will come one of these days...


heh i see your on the west coast . is that right? well either way i do have a lil pull with a few different mags. drop me a line and ill see soem pics of your car get to the right people. looks hot as shi* i luv it looks really clean well done man. [email protected]

[zeek]

yellow looks good too but white is clean

[240silvia]

It is beautiful....just noticed a small problem, that the front bumper and fender don't fit all that well. Beautiful though.

I think the fender looks like that because of the flares.... maybe???

[RedSuns]

jesus..

i am almost tired of seeing that car....8 looong months to finally get it there...

tashi and I built that car from the ground up...

[strtracr9]

love that car....hes my "twin" but ten times cleaner

[aznpoopy]

very clean...

i really like the headlights. makes them reminiscient of the s13 silvia headlights.

[RedSuns]

love that car....hes my "twin" but ten times cleaner


bah tashi is waaaayyyy cooler than you Dan.... :eek3:

[Shin_Kudo]

Very nice. I'd only make a few changes:

Number one, I think it needs a wing. There's so much done below the "waist" of the car that it needs something above to balance the look. I'd think of a nice C-West 3D GT wing, not only for shape but to match the CF hood up front.

Second, I might lose the skirts. The way they arch up in the center makes the car look kinda wierd.

Finally, I'm not too sure about the wheels. Some TE-37s would look awesome, though.

[s14xman]

That shiet looks hot, the paint looks really nice. do what u want with it its ur car.

[linkwpc]

very nice! :aw: But I think it needs a wing of some kind. (not a big metal one)

[s156spd]

yea i was thinking along the same lines. but im not a wing guy i just dont really like em. so i was thinking maybe a carbon trunk lid woudl kinda balance things out. not that its performence oriented but if its free and i can get it fuck it i think thats the way ill go.

[blu808]

drift it, and beat the crap out of it. :doh:

[Sil Beer S13]

Shiny!!!!!

I'm not usually a fan of anything much bigger than stock wing wise, but with this car, there's so much visual interest at the bottom that it kinda needs a big eye-catching wing on top. I guess you could sorta say it looks bottom heavy. I do like the idea of the CF trunk lid, though.

[Edgar]

Clean wooo!

[O-Mikey]

Mad props on the car. That would have to be one of the nicest S14's i have ever seen. Love the bodykit, great rims, nice hood, nice clean engine bay. Basicaly, you have one great car :bigok:

[SimpleS14]

nice car, pretty clean. I can see how it would look better with a CF trunk....but have you consider a C-West mini spoiler?

[s156spd]

yea i was thinking of one of those but since it being a mini, and it woudl be painted white. i dont think it would draw the eye enough. i think im gonna go with a carbon trunk. i want to drive this car pretty much anywere, and i kno even when i see a dope ass car and it has any kind of wing at all, like say just drving down the street anywere at the local stores somehow it just kinda kills it.

^^ well said.

car looks OK.. but i would never want to own or drive it.

the car looks like it shouldnt be driven. it looks like a toy model. some people are into owning cars for the appearance, i am into owning cars for the drive.. and enjoy maintaining the wear-and-tear that comes along with almost destroying one's car. things like rock chips and scratches should be evident and clearly visible, showing that the car wasnt and hasnt been babied -- its been driven and the car has character.

i cant say i am a fan of anything fiberglas, so the kit can go. the wheels are OK, look fine. if anything, i just dont like the look of the kit.. thats the worst part about the car.. but thats just because i hate kits.

Yea I guess we can agree on one thing, U and I have a totally different respect for the cars we build. I along with John Berlin have spent way to much time on this car to thrash it. That is not why I built this car. I also feel being proud of rock chips and scratches on my car is something totally stupid, and especially if it’s for the reason that others know that u drive the car hard I think that is a "POSER" mentality. Im not a poser I dint jump on the band wagon to build “DRFT CAR” .That’s like saying im a skateboarder and go rub my board on the curb so everyone sees “scratches” and thinks I can slide... GAY.... what the hell would I want a fucking technical nightmare for. shit breaking all the time. WTF do I want to keep a tool box in my car for, and worry about shit breaking on me?
I want a Pretty, Fast, Reliable, 240sx Cover car..

[Ian]

to each his own, if anyone ever saw my car, they'd know why it's put together (or not put together >.<) the way it is


i drive my car, it isnt meant to look pretty, it dosent look pretty...it's a fun ass drive though!

its quite obvious from the path you chose with this car, that you are not interested in driving your car. and when i use the word driving, i dont mean sitting in it and pressing the gas.. i mean seriously driving the car and subjecting it to some thrashing, which any NORMAL car should be able to take. driving the car through a bumpy canyon, being able to absorb bumps and at the same time, still haul ass. if your car cant do that, then its not really of much interest to me. again, this has nothing to do with the aesthetics of your car -- parked, your car looks fine. as for me, i think it looks like a large sized model. if you're talking about driving.. I dont see that car being able to withstand the type of abuse i need a car to be able to endure.

you dont need a toolbox to show that you are hardcore, but anyone knowledgeable DOES carry tools around just incase tools are needed. i dont have any amazing tools in my car, just the basics should i need them.

i dont scratch my car or chip paint for fun, it comes with the mileage. much like someone's skin getting tough from being used, it all comes with the territory.

i think people who neglect their cars and call it "battle damage" are just as weak as people who DONT drive their car and just praise it. point being? if you own a car, drive it. even if its fixed up, drive it.

ps: should i even ask if you are skilled enough to control the car that you have? is it really necessary, all those modifications? not being mean, just asking.

You along with others have made the assumption that I don’t or won’t drive or race or run this car hard. I can only assume u have made this decision because the car looks so damn shiny it’s clean enough to pop your pimple on. As far as my skills.. Coming from a proud owner of 4 different turbo cars a super fast Bike and a few other pretty nice cars (fx35 and a 5 series), growing up in Washington D.C. I feel my skills for handling and street racing are top notch. As far as dragging I can always improve, although I did run a 12.7 with my other 240 with the stock turbo and no mods with 18 inch rims with a full show stereo and interior. Drifting ive never done it so I guess I would be a novice at that.

[Y3llowS14]

In before this thing gets close.

What do you consider skilled at "street racing"? The only unskilled street racers are the one that doesn't hit bystanders?

i dont assume, i *see* the car and it speaks for itself. when people make-over and upgrade their cars, they have the luxury of chosing the parts and installing them. with all that fiberglass, its OBVIOUS that the car is not going to be subjected to *my* type of driving. is this so bad? what, you cant live with my criticism? not everyone drives the way I drive, i dont expect them to. but, dont doubt it.. because its true.. if you tried to follow me through some of the canyons i drive through, your bumper would probably snap and fall off. its just common sense, fiberglass CANNOT endure the type of abuse like OEM urethane/sheet metal can.

i dont care of your car is clean enough to pop a pimple on, i am not 16 and so i dont have any pimples. i think your car is clean in a model-esque vision, and that it appeals to the kids on this forum who are into that.

remember, if this car makes YOU happy.. then enjoy it. afterall, i already complimented you on it and said it looks nice, its just not for me.

ps: anyone with some driving skills would realize that its a trick question, driving skills are NEVER up to par and we can ALWAYS use improvement. the day you think your skills are "top notch" is the day you lose your humble attitude and trade it in for a big ego. keep driving, keep practicing. you have yourself a car that LOOKS like a good learning tool, use it -- i would.

[strtracr9]

cmon guys, bottom line its a nice car.....dont hate......ive actually seen Tashi drive the piss out of that car.....so ease up on the crude comments

[Y3llowS14]

If people doesn't like it then so be it. Its their opinion and he asked for it. People have different perspectives, so live with it. If he doesn't want to hear people say its ugly, then entitle the thread---"reply here if you only like the car, otherwise fuck off".

[Ian]

man i need to start hanging out with you guys...you both (tashi and dan) are local to me, like within 10-15 mins tops, and have amazing cars...i have an S14 too and i could totally use some help workin on it especially right now :) heh

maybe u guys could lend a hand? maybe i can just come and take pictures of me humping your cars? no? that's cool too

[bing]

tashi, your car is hot.

mike and this justin kid are just stirring shit.

if i could afford to have a car as nice as that i would do it for sure, but i cant.

what mike and justin DONT realise is that a very small portion of the automotive community, namely us, think that battle-scars are actually cool.

i have to admit i have some serious scars, and i drive my car extremely hard "illegally" absolutely every day, and i think it is kinda cool.

but it really isnt.

i would much rather cruise around legally in a nice porsche or $25,000 S-chassis.

even worse, is that all the people who are arguing here are acting as though their opinion is fact. for those of you that are, please remember that if you opinions were authority you would be paid BIG $$$ to tell people what you think. as it so happens, most of us are not, and that is because most of our opinions dont mean shit. mine and yours.

so STFU and look at the pretty cars.

[s156spd]

Hey it’s whatever... all good now. The hype is over... Yea I agree with you (last post). I understand. Its fun as shit to drive your car hard everyday and have battle wounds to tell stories about and shit. Hell ive had plenty of my own with my other 240 and many other cars ive driven. I know allot of heads might not like the car, that’s cool. It’s just the assumption thing that gets me, and not liking a car cuz it’s not a battle car. You can like battle cars and u can like nice custom cars, and there is no doubt im going to drive the shit of this car every time I have a chance. But hey to each there own it’s all good im not really all up in arms about it. So what ever. thnx for the love!! And for the different threads that helped me get my car done. God knows how many nights ive been on this site and FA getting loads of info.

Ken @ Motorrex really gave me a deal I could not pass up. Although it was not free was less then 50%. Vertex is a baddass kit and I would have loved to do it. I have done the cwest thing before and I remember holding the kit up to the car and it fitting perfectly. What a relief!! Ha-ha I can even remember my body man having a sigh of relief, especially coming from Hondas were kits don’t fit for shit, going to a 240sx were the first time I tried the kit fit perfect. I just figured ill stick with what I know. What’s in stock and hell it only cost me what a front bumper retails for.

[MakotoS13]

strtracr9- your sig is retardedly huge. guess ya missed that memo...


anyhow, does this car have an S15 motor with a 6spd as your screen name suggests? look, i like the car and if you take criticism of others personally you should prolly get out while you're ahead.

Yes my car does have the s15 motor with the 6spd tranny along with the drive train and s15 diff. im all good with the criticism now. I was getting all up in arms..... But ehhh fuck it its cool. To each there own as many have pointed out to me on this and other boards. I agree with them, and I can appreciate and totally understand others views.

[old_s13]

Its fun as shit to drive your car hard everyday and have battle wounds to tell stories about and shit

Its not even about that, its about designing a car to be driven or designing it to look nice -- you cant always have both. With our cars, there is really no option when it comes to nice looking urethane parts.. so everyone goes fiberglas. To me, fiberglas is crap and unacceptable for street use.. I'de never use it. But for others, its okay.. because they dont mind visiting the body shop often or just dont drive that hard.

I dont leave scratches and rock chips on my car for show, I'm not trying to gain attention by showing and flaunting the wear and tear.. it just happens to be the way things are. Eventually, the car is getting painted.. I'll still drive hard, but I know for sure I'll be more cautious because you want to take care of the "new work" and upgrades. SO. Some people are over-protective of their mods, others dont really care so much. To me, I'de rather have scratched up parts and know that *I* was the one who scratched them, used them, and abused them.. rather than having it get worn over time by life's weathering or by some idiot who just backs into my car or something. Point is, we all have to realize that nothing in this world is perfect and that everything and everyone is disposable, especially when it comes to material objects. So, might as well have a blast and use things to the max.

I tell my friends who fix up their cars like you do, nice job.. but good luck trying to enjoy it. You'll find that most of the time, you'll be worrying about where to park and whether or not it'll get keyed or stolen, NOT about driving and enjoying it. Much like having an excessively fine girlfriend, if she's showing off all the time.. its for everyone ELSES attention, not yours. Makes ya wonder...

Yea I guess we can agree on one thing, U and I have a totally different respect for the cars we build. I along with Johnathan Berlin have spent way to much time on this car to thrash it. That is not why I built this car. I also feel being proud of rock chips and scratches on my car is something totally stupid, and especially if it’s for the reason that others know that u drive the car hard I think that is a "POSER" mentality. Im not a poser I dint jump on the band wagon to build “DRFT CAR” .That’s like saying im a skateboarder and go rub my board on the curb so everyone sees “scratches” and thinks I can slide... GAY.... what the hell would I want a fucking technical nightmare for. shit breaking all the time. WTF do I want to keep a tool box in my car for, and worry about shit breaking on me?
I want a Pretty, Fast, Reliable, 240sx Cover car..


DAMN IT TASHI!!!!!!!

Tashi's car is hot as shit.

All i read on this site is bunch of complaining about how people's kit dont fit, wheels are ugly, wheels are not flush with fenders, car's are not painted, not enough power for all the flashy shit on the exterior... the list can go on and on and on! FINALLY Tashi gets his car done ( REAL C-West fits, nice paint, flush wheels, huge lips, nice HP) and now all your doing is complaining that is nothing more than a showcar! Is there anyway to build a car that will satisfy everybody????? NO!!!

I know Tashi's car is HOT, You know Tashi's car is HOT! STOP HATING!!!

I can't wait to hear the shit im gonna hear in a few months too. LOL
