Non Nissan project cars, what else you working on? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

What the title says!

Other than my S14, I also have a 1977 Mercury Capri, well its my 13 year old Sons car, he will be learning to drive pretty soon so we are in the middle of getting it road legal.

I wanted him to learn to drive in something old school, RWD, no power steering....no nothing really LOL.

Probably just going to have it road worthy in time for spring then work on making it look pretty next year, its mostly rust free so it just needs paint really.

Anyway, what non Nissan projects you guys got going on?

lucky7 · 12-27-2011, 12:55 PM

oh boy, that should be interesting. lol.

it's not really a project, but since i now DD this, i guess it's kind of a project of sort.

i just ordered a short ram for it, because the factory stuff is all torn up. i guess it will be one of those cars i upgrade as things require replacing.

i have these lying around that i'd really like to put on it, however, the rears are way too aggressive for it. they were purchased for my old E30, which i no longer have.

they bolt up to the car, but i need to put much smaller lips on the rears.

i would like the rear fitment to be like this, so i need new lips. being jobless and in school makes that a bit of an issue. haha, i'll get a job next month.

a chop of what i'd eventually like it to look like. just replace/powdercoat rear lips, and drop it on coils. basic stuff.

-1 by Dane Van, on Flickr

but yes, it needs to be lower. it currently has Tein S techs, and stock shocks.

the rears are 16x10 -3, w/ 205/50's.

EDIT: this was the rear on my '87 325is. it was on Cosmo coils and bilstein sports, the perches removed.

so bummed. that would have been amazing. i didn't put them on because it was right before the snow.

It's not a car, but w/e.

Jez · 12-27-2011, 02:14 PM

That Honda step thru is fooking awesome!!

I used to see lots of those back home in England, that and the newer C90's.

What year is it?

WanganRunner · 12-27-2011, 02:28 PM

It's a 1960.

Lots of fun. Selling Ruckus this year but I'm going to keep the Cub.

The Daily, 2009 Toyota Corolla S. averages mid 30mpg. highest i got was 47mpg on a tank driving like an absolute bitch. coasting down hills, leaving stop lights very slow driving at or just below speed limit,etc.

Got some Tein S-Tech springs from the 2003-2008 Corolla for it last week which drops it quite a bit. And i picked up some 17" Enkei BMAT's 2 months ago for a "steal"

Also have a 1999 Chevy Silverado Z71 that is pretty much stock except some KMC Wheels and a drop in filter.

Might be picking up a 03 IS300 soon though.

Jez · 12-27-2011, 03:04 PM

Few mores pics of the capri, thought my S14 was small, until it sits parked next to capri.

Thats my son in the process of doing a tune up

TripleJ · 12-27-2011, 03:10 PM

I have a 2010 cbr1000rr that I had been working on

4DOOR_LIFE · 12-27-2011, 03:11 PM

my only car at the moment.

1jzgte swapped 1985 Toyota Cressida

Just about done with the swap. All thats left is to finish making my exhaust, route the hoses for the heater core(its looped right now), and clean up the wiring in the interior.

gtouch_nissan · 12-27-2011, 03:11 PM

working on getting my FC track worthy just ordered my coilovers pics in sig

ronmcdon · 12-27-2011, 03:56 PM

Idk if Id call it a project, but I hope to do some basic suspension & power mods on my 08 evo x. Just paid off the car a few months ago & got some te-37's in 18x10's. Have an intake & exhast so far. In no big hurry to finish it, so it'll take a year or two at least. Car drives good as is.

The S14 will be getting more attention in the spring.

turbobrick · 12-27-2011, 10:05 PM

I have too many cars.

1989 volvo 780 turbo. Currently in the middle of a 5 speed swap. Swapping in a getrag from an 80's 6 series bmw.

and my 86 240 wagon dd. Will be building coilovers for it next month. After I lower it, I have a set of hayashi streets for it.

Also have a 77 corolla liftback, bought it a couple years ago and got it running. But I've been busy so it hasn't moved in a while.

I have another volvo and a mercedes, but they're not really project cars, just fixing up to sell.

hotrodjoseph · 12-27-2011, 11:25 PM

My Dad and I picked this up in the summer, 66 mustang fastback.. we're making it into a Shelby gt.350 clone.

ILoveMyRHS13 · 12-27-2011, 11:37 PM

My daily Legacy Outback... Really tempted to lift it and put BFG All Terrains on it just for shits and giggles...

lucky7 · 12-28-2011, 07:24 AM

cool stuff ITT. the cressida is minty, volvos are cool, GT 350 is my favorite muscle car, etc. good stuff, guys.

VROOOM · 12-28-2011, 10:23 AM

bought this a few months ago. im waiting for some good coilovers to be made for it. probably just gonna get some wheels, lower it and get the Sequence lip kit

I've got a preSMOG D100 Adventurer and a VH with it's name on it.

At some point that will be done. Probably before my car is.

Farzam · 12-28-2011, 07:46 PM

Wish I had a better picture

This thing is pretty damn fun. I got a pretty sweet deal on it, and then some more sweet deals, so now it's widebodied and black. The car's gone through a lot. In the middle of a turbo swap and some much wider wheels.

chitownguy · 12-28-2011, 08:11 PM

I have an E30 as a daily that eventually became a project alongside my S30.
