Clean swap. Plan to change anything else on your suspension/wheels/brakes ??

[CoasTek240]

Clean swap. Plan to change anything else on your suspension/wheels/brakes ??
i hope so, i'm not trying to sound like a negative nancy, but youve got to.

besides i'm sure you depleated your funds with the swap, but when you got some extra dough, you really need to get a set of wider rims man. 7.5" aint cuttin it.
you know a nice set 9" or even 10" in the rear would looke super. You dont necessarily need to upgrade to coilovers either. you can stick with what your rocking now, and just get some decent camber plates.

As far as brakes go a couple ways. it looks like youre 4lug, so , you can get new pads, sslines and some good fluid, and be very pleased with the difference in feel from stock,
or you can try and do a brake swap. z32, q45, even maxima. whatever floats your boat. I dunno bout the others, but i know with the z32 swap, you could swap your hubs with the hubs of a n/a z32. and the rest is cake. The z32 swap is the most comman and has the most research, but there are cheaper ways to get you stopping faster.

well good luck. and nice looking car. looks like a great start. clean swap, good work. i'm surprised you got that all swapped and the motor for $2500 or was that just the installation charge?

[sepulchral]

IMO:
the wing is stupid
the car is too high up... with an s15 you should have badass coilovers not gay AGX shocks with springs
you should def. send your headlights and corners off to get the clear treatment...
and get some badass wheels that have staggered stance

wow, a lil harsh? its your opinion on the wing, infact i agree.
where does it say that if you have a badass engine like an s15 sr, you have to rock out some crazy expensive coilovers? Coilovers would be better. But for daily driving, i bet his ass appreciates the setup he bought.
and his headlights and corners actually looks super clean... wtf are you talking about. i'd get rid of the eyelid though, or atleast paint it to match your car.

[BoroBoroS13]

I like the car overall but I do agree with the others that it would be better if you got rid of that wing and got a new set of wheels.

[sepulchral]

lose wing, get wheels, lower drop thats all it really needs, it looks like rice as it sits...

[linkwpc]

Well one thing is for sure- the wing will not be going anywhere. I like it so it will stay. I do not care for coilcovers. I like the drop with my springs. It not soo bad. Now for the wheels I do not have a choice since its 4 lug. I do want 5 lug but that cost a lot and I have spent lot on the engine all ready. So I do not plan for that any time soon. 4 lug really suck for choises of wheels. If I could I would get 18x9 Mustand saleen wheels for it but I need 5 lug. The engine cost $2500 and the install was $2000. As for the lights I will put Smoked head lights. For now it stay like this and to me it does not look ricey.

[projectRDM]

Good lord, when did NOPI come back into town?

That thing looks horrible. Seriously. The wing would do better on a civic, so would the wheels, and those eyelids are the gheyest thing yet.

And 5lug hubs are expensive? For someone who just wasted the extra $2k on an S15 SR over an S14 SR you're being a little picky.

Sorry to be an ass, but I'd throw a rock at it if I saw it in person. Damn disgrace.

[SimpleS14]

^-- dayum


Why did you go with the S15 SR20DET?

Haha I was gonna comment but you did it for me.
I was surprsed this guy lives in cali

[psychedelicbeats]

now that's a sleeper. and i'm not kidding. nopi or not, your ass will get torn up if you met him on the street thinking he's nopi status... LOL just teasing. but seriously, it's got some starting potential. 6 speed will take u off the line versus older 5 spd + VVT + s15 stock turbo + computer

[Ian]

ok here's my opinion


i personally like the wing, but it looks kinda out of place on a stock car...actually, i have a regular k's wing but mine looks alright, i think it has to do with your wheels...

S14 hubs are not expensive, so the 5 lug would be probably a couple hundred bucks for hubs and stock rotors

the drop is fine, but your wheels are butt...if you DONT go 5 lug, which i highly recommend, just pick up some 5zigen wheels or those 16x8's in that group buy going on w/ some +10 offsets...whatever you buy, try and get low offsets to fill your wheel wells please.

also, when money comes down the line, i'd invest in either some nice oem skirts and front lip or a kit like Final Version (sticking to cheaper stuff)

overall, it's decent, the engine is awesome for the price you got it for and at least it's fairly clean...good luck on your car

[TurDz]

The JDM wing is nice. I think it's throwing people off though since the whole body is round except the wing. If you got a nice body kit, the ride height would look much better, and the wing would fit.

I agree about S15 SR. Why? It's not an offensive question, but I really want to know your reasoning over a blacktop SR.

[shoes59]

Red is for females, fags or Ferarri's. I'd rather be seen in the Mustang.

[Ian]

here are some pics i just snapped minutes ago...ignore the fact that my car looks beat to shit right now...cuz it is

[SimpleS14]

Damn....and I thought my car looked bad. :/

Well atleast you have JDM flush rims and JDM spec motor. ^.^


But seriously....you should get some Zenki sides Ian...or buy my Kouki sides.

[SoCalS14]

Yea, your wing is mounted to far back, and looks out of place without any other aero. I have that wing, but with skirts, bumper, it looks more at home. Definitely get some wheels and lower supsension.

[s14 blacktop]

What the hell are you guys smoking its BAD ASS, I wish I had the money to even put s15 motor in my car, but I had to settle for a s14...
And that spoiler is the shiznay... all he needs is some sideskrts and a lower lip for his front bumper and hes set except for those wheels...

[Sil Beer S13]

good job lose the wheels.

DO you even have an LSD?? If not get one.

[evilimport]

A front lip and sideskirts and rear valances would make a world of difference on the car overall.... I by no means think it looks hideous though, but the wing does kinda look outta place along with the rims.... I've never been a fan of red cars despite the fact I own a maroon s14 (barf).... Give him some time and about $2000 and I'm sure he'll fix the car right up....

[ICKY]

I actually think the moroon color on my S14 is decent. I would prefer black but yeah. OT, I think the car overall looks pretty good. If the car is a daily driver, that ride hight isn't bad. I agree what was said above, in time it will look better. Nice job meng!

[Ian]

who's wing is mounted too far back? cuz from what i understand, the rear hole on the K's wing should line up with the furthest forward OEM hole, and a new hole needs to be drilled for the front...so that's how mine was done...

anyhow, i think it looks good on my car, i just need some sort of sideskirts or a whole body kit (later when i'm not broke and have everything else done right lol

[atom]

The red cars wing is mounted too far back. He has 4 lug therefore base mode therefore no spoiler originally. You should kill whoever mounted that wing for you LOL.

[TUnity2]

you people who dog this car are HOMO. it is hawt and fast, so stop being jealous.

[SilviaDriver]

stop licking his balls

yea its "hawt" with its:

5Zigen 5ZR Copse 17x7.5 wheels
K-Wing with black Center
OBX intercooler 23x11x3

spent so much money on a dumb engine, and now is running cheap ugly lookin wheels with his super cool OBX intercooler.

[linkwpc]

The red cars wing is mounted too far back. He has 4 lug therefore base mode therefore no spoiler originally. You should kill whoever mounted that wing for you LOL.
:blah: Yes I know the wing is too far back. The guy who put it in did not do it right plus the paint is not all that. But whatever its only 1 inch more back, so what?! I did not like red at first but then it grew on me. But I hate the moroon color a lot more. Now I never knew how much people do not like the wheels. Man.... you guys make a BIG idea! I have see 1000000 worst then mine. Now if I had 5 lug and had the same wheels (which I would have not) then you guys can shot me. Man......... There all NO good wheels in 4 lug!! I HAVE LOOKED! :hammer:

Now I plan to get 5 lugs some day and get some cool nice big rims like 18X9. I would if I had 5 lug! But I'm doing my best with 4.... Now as for a body kit I plan some nice OEM side skirts and I have a front lip already. I just need to paint it. As for the suspension I just got it about one week ago. I like the drop and I do not want it any lower. I'm already hitting things! I like my suspension right now. I think coilover are over rated. :axe:

Now I pick a S15 because it was cheap when I got it and I wanted something rare. Plus its faster stock then any S14 black top or S13 red top.

Now this only the beginning! I do plan more things! I never said it was finished! Some of you guys need to chill out... man.... :nono:

[Ian]

mine's cool though! lol

atom, are you saying I should kill whoever mounted my wing? or his wing

[90RS13]

you people flamin him are retards. Why is it that any time someone wants to show what they've been workin on (and are proud of) all people wanna do is find stuff wrong with it. The truth is 99% of you would brag about that car to everyone you know, if you owned it. I'm sure everyone will post back sayin, "no I wouldn't tell people how awsome it is" but most of you would be lying.

now is running cheap ugly lookin wheels
like everyone should already know, there isn't much variety in 4 lug wheels. Good offsets are hard to find. I don't think they look bad at all (except being sunk in).
with his super cool OBX intercooler
if it does what he needs it to do (and very cost effectivly) then why is that bad?

I think people just get jealous of other people's cars, so they find things wrong with it, so they can feel like it's really not that much better than their's.

[SoCalS14]

mine's cool though! lol

atom, are you saying I should kill whoever mounted my wing? or his wing

Yours is fine, looks like you mounted it right...

The red car has one mounted to far back...it hangs off the end of the bumper, he acknowledged it...(fix it)

[SilviaDriver]

like everyone should already know, there isn't much variety in 4 lug wheels. Good offsets are hard to find. I don't think they look bad at all (except being sunk in).


what you talkin about? there are wheels that have 4lug that are better than those. hell the 5zigen typhoons are better than those. FNs, mustang wheels, DTR05s or watever tougefactory is selling.


if it does what he needs it to do (and very cost effectivly) then why is that bad?


one word: OBX. simple, check out obx quality. after all the hardwork with the s15 engine and all he skimps and goes cheap quality and craftsmanship with OBX on a part that is somewhat important for power.

thats like somebody building up an entire KA with a big turbo and everything then later gets OBX/SSautochrome manifold


I think people just get jealous of other people's cars, so they find things wrong with it, so they can feel like it's really not that much better than their's.

ummm...i juss farted.

[atom]

Seriously though, it's not THAT bad, just needs a few things here and there. If/when you fix the wing, get some spacers on that ish, and let the new suspension settle it'll look a lot better I think.

[nokeone]

sweet engine...clean install..

agree 100% on the intercooler...why skimp on something like that?..after everything else...do it right the first time or pay for it later...

wheels = ass...but you are right...4 lug sucks...go 5 lug..it's cheap...$400 all 4 corners easy...or just get spacers and flush those up...add some camber plates and you'd be ok...

wing..meh, whatever..needs a kit to go with it...not the worst thing i have seen..but on the car as it is now...yes, it's ass as well...

coilovers are NOT overrated...your car NEEDS to be lower...if you don't think so then you are an idiot...it would look 100000000000 times better if lower...add that to the spacers above and it would actually look good...

overall nice...great potential...fix the problems and your car will be sick...

[linkwpc]

What the hell are you talking about?? My intercooler works fine! Its great quality. I like this intercooler. I do not see any wrong with it. You guys are :loco:

[nokeone]

OBX!!...lol...

kthxbye..

and PS...your sig lies...2500 riiight...

[Tenchuu]

THe sig doesn't sound that out of proportion ot me. My S15 cost 2800 with the trandmission, driveshagt, and a cusco super single clutch pack.
Now it cost 2100 to ship it to the U.S. but the S15 setup itself only cost 2800.

[SimpleS14]

What can go wrong with the intercooler he has now? heat soak?

[wootwoot]

How come if I dont like something iam jealous? Also, its only a fast car if you've never drove any performance oriented car ever..

[sil40sx]

its a good start, but if you leave it like that, its a disgrace to 240s.

[nokeone]

ok, if you say so..do a group buy..2100 shipped to USA s15 clip...

i'm sure it'll happen real soon..

mmmmmk...just let me know..

riiiiiight...

[Ian]

i think he means it was 2100 in shipping and 2800 for the motor set (cheaper then a clip by alot)

in which case, 4900 shipped sounds right

[projectRDM]

"I think people just get jealous of other people's cars, so they find things wrong with it, so they can feel like it's really not that much better than their's."

Haha. If I was 12yrs old, queer, fat, and took a beating from people regularly, I *might* be jealous of that car.

[Phlip]

But Russ, you're 30, but you ARE queer, fat and I sincerely owe you a beating, and I still can't see why you would be jealous of that car

[SimpleS14]

i think he means it was 2100 in shipping and 2800 for the motor set (cheaper then a clip by alot)

That's still kinda pricey IMO. But then again I wouldn't go with that motor and I would do the install myself (excluding wiring).

[w1ngzer0]

in bold, i agree. Why are you flaming a 95 240sx that isn't "slammed" so much he can't get over speed bumps. 5kg is a good spring rate last i looked. Its streetable. Sorry some of us can't afford $1200 coilovers or don't want to buy $800 pos coilovers.

But the only constructive comment i agree on are the wheels. You need a better wheel :)

5kg springs are great...if your car is a show queen that never sees the track...or a daily driver that you take to Krispy Kreme car meets...other then that they lick balls...

but he's obviously not "some of us"...how many people do you know with s15 motors in their cars over here?

[w1ngzer0]

:cj: go you

[tew photy]

all the flamers are saying is that if he was limited to spend the exact amount of money that he did on his engine, he should have gone with something else that was cheaper, leaving extra over to complete the package on his car. its just another example of someone wanting something "rare" and sacrificing the rest of the car.

[90RS13]

I still, would like an answer as to why the intercooler is bad, just cause it's OBX. Some of there stuff might not be good, but that doesn't mean his intercooler sucks. I dunno, I just don't see why people flame just cause of a name. I have an OBX header and it's fine. The welds were all good, and the fitment was fine. It's a good header that only cost 170 bucks. If his intercooler serves it's purpose, why does it matter that it's obx? Stuff doesn't have to be expensive or "name brand" to be good.

I'll agree to an extent about 4 lugs. There are some options, but not many. I dunno, I hate his offset (which can be corrected with spacers) but the design is ok to me.

[Ian]

damn...i thought RSR race springs would be good enough for a daily driver/drifting weekend warrior...


i guess i'm saving for coilovers now :( yay for tein stechs

[The Riot Hero]

i doubt the car does very well if hes using a stock rear end gear with the 6 speed.

[weirdstyles.net]

90RS13 - Its cause these are a bunch of name brand whoring bitches.

nokeone - What if it isnt a track car? What if its just a car with some cojones? Not everyone here has track goals in mind like myself.

Threads like this make me sick. The guys obviously not done with the car, and just wanted to show what he had. This is why there are pages and pages and pages of 1 post count members, cause you guys scare them away. Im all about programming for Mark/Zilvia.net but why? So you guys have a faster forum with more functions to scare off people because their post count is below 400 or you dont like red, or because someone's car doesnt match your opinion or your goals? Get the fuck out of here, how about playing nice for once? I know, I know; this is all been said before, but why the hell do we "Zilvia.net" do this to members? Im all about this guy, you got a S15 motor set and a 6-speed trans, awsome. I dont like the wheels, but I wouldnt rag on him cause of that.

Shit if I set my project up with BN-Sports ground effects, 180SX tails, Work wheels, Zeal Super Function coilovers, 5-Lugs, Endless "Saftey" Brake System, Corvette C5 yellow paint and blacktop SR20 with a Tomie stroker and fuel/ignition goodies for a stocking stuffer; youd wine at me cause my color choice was yellow.

Just stfu.

[weirdstyles.net]

and another thing god damnit....

I wanna see some specs that we're throwing around on this OBX I/C. If your talking shit, bring the noise. I want to see numbers that put the OBX I/C at the bottom of this shit list you all make up out of thin god damn air.

show me....



shoooooowwwwww meeeee.....



well?

huh?

bitch-ass....

[TokyoNights]

He posted pics of his car, people gave him their opinions
What the fuck is wrong with that

[w1ngzer0]

He posted pics of his car, people gave him their opinions
What the fuck is wrong with that

they are all negative, whats the point? If i knew my car was going to be rediculed. i would go to a certain other forum.... :drama:

[weirdstyles.net]

He posted pics of his car, people gave him their opinions
What the fuck is wrong with that
Everything.

Opinions are like assholes, we've all got em. The difference here is these bastards are making the rest of the world take a deep wiff of theirs. Its bullshit.

TokyoNights, I think your a deucsh bag for not agreeing with me? Thats an opinion, now did I have to tell you that? Did I have to put that up for everyone to see? No, but I did to make a point. I dont think your a deusch bag, but it made an impact didnt it?

ps - still waiting on those I/C specs...

[TokyoNights]

Id take it as constructive criticism
but then again I dont get my feelings hurt that easy

[sil40sx]

seriously, i dont think pointing out those wheels look gay is a matter of opinion. they look gay. get some new ones, jeez.

[weirdstyles.net]

seriously, i dont think pointing out those wheels look gay is a matter of opinion. they look gay. get some new ones, jeez.
well you just suck....

[Gzero]

Wow I see looks good i am putting a S14 blacktop in my 180sx one of these days!

[chmercer]

HOLY SHIT, DRAMA TO THE MAX.

car looks like a stock s14 with an ugly wing and average wheels. i dunno why everyone is making a big deal. i see cars like this all the time. civic hatch with a small wing and an exhaust and rotas. woo hoo. you see cars like that 24/7 no reason to go flying off the handle.

and ugh s15 6spd? try not to break any gears

[linkwpc]

I do not understand this all drama at all. I think it ok to give options but its another to flame me. Some guys are talking to me like I showed you a Lime Green honda civic with APC clear lights, APC body kit, 15 inch plastic chome wheels, and have a vtec engine in it. Man.... Its a 240 for god sake! My car most looks stock. I will fix the wing (but it leave holes). I will not get coilovers, I like my RSR springs. I'm sure you can use them for racing. They are very hard springs. Thats why they call me "Race Springs". Ok understand the wheels are not good. I plan to change them. So do not worry... I do not have the money just to run out and buy 5 lug brakes, huds, etc. Well can any one post a pic of "good" 4 lug wheels under $1200? (note: I only like 5 spoke wheels) Is there any 4 lug to 5 lug spacers I can buy?

Anyways I thought Zilvia was a great forum.. but not sure of that now. There are lots of @#$% here... I just wanted to thank weirdstyles.net, mainevent212, 90RS13, nokeone, 95KoukiS14, coastek240 for at least just stateing there opinions and not pointless flaming.

[ThatGuy]

Too much Drama, too many flames.

Good luck with your car, linkwpc. Hopefully this thread won't stop you from being an acive member of the Zilvia community. Please understand that posting anything on the Internet will get you plenty of comments. Both good and bad.
