S14 kouki rb25 neo drift build
 

hey guys, been creeping for a while but never really posted.

i’m starting a new build for my s14 and wanted to share it with everyone. i’ll try posting as much information as i can to help anyone doing anything similar. if you have any questions, just ask!

first, i’ll give some quick background info.
the car is a 95 s14 which i’ve had for about 6 years. it was stock when I got it, and has gone through some changes throughout the years. this is how the car looked back in 2010.

first, i took the front end apart for some cleaning & painting.
i wasn’t looking for an A+++ paint job, so I just used Tremclad spray cans for primer, paint and clear. for the price, i’d say great results!

i also scrapped the old KA and swapped in an s13 SR20 blacktop.

the SR was taken apart for some cleaning & painting before putting in the car. engine stayed stock.
the idea was just to have a simple and clean engine / bay free of leaks, dirt, grime, etc... engine turned out like this.

also found a great deal on a set of single bolt pattern XXR 521’s in 18x10 +12 that were eventually painted white.
