Because I'm a dirty dirty tease, and so is my car....

and the dirty secret of my hood:

It's being buffed today, I'll give you guys the full hotness once it's all done and clean tonight.

Dopefish · 10-12-2007, 01:44 PM

This is the last pic for now... all cutting/buffing should be done tonight when I pick it up, this was taken with the other pics at about 1am last night. lawl

understandable but not affordable

Dopefish · 10-13-2007, 11:11 PM

I sorta let you guys down on pics, but today has been a long one with Eid and all... Here are some from tonight but they aren't to the quality I hoped due to lack of location and time.

Lots more planned, but nothing exterior besides the 350z wheels that were already mentioned and some OEM sideskirts if I find a good deal. We've got about a quart of paint left for any future plans, like painting the engine bay for instance....

the car looks great

2 questions why switch over the bellhousing when the 89-98 ka trannys are the same? and why use the s14 hood badge instead of the s15 lightening bolt? other than that looking good

The S14 has an additional sensor on the top of the bellhousing that monitors fluctuations in the crank rotation (indicative of misfires), while this is purely an emissions component and not necessary it can be benificial for tuning. The other benifit is that the bellhousing recieved several improvements in the webbing, making it an overall stronger case.

As for the hood badge, it was personal preferance, my car isnt a real S15, it's half and half. I wanted a blend that sort of hinted at both ends of the spectrum. That's why I have an S15 badge in the rear and a S14 badge up front.

wow, one hell of a "perfect" s15 headlight fitment on both hood and fenders. PROPS

Bushido · 10-14-2007, 06:06 PM

that mustang parked beside you is sweating your style.

SlideWell · 11-03-2007, 02:23 PM

i love stories =)
thats a lot of work youve done, props on that. i love the color you chose. as far as emissions...if you know the right people they are not an issue. honestly, how do you think some of us get our cars legal to drive on the streets? lol. in some states like WA, $200 is the max you have to spend on "trying" to get it fixed as well, then you may get a waiver. so thats that.
now you just have to make your car go as fast as it looks

*burnsauto* · 11-03-2007, 02:49 PM

yeah i like how it came out...for some hacked up fenders...it came out really smooth, all the seems are nice and tight. congrats.

keep us informed on the powerplant you're throwing in.

B Love · 11-03-2007, 03:38 PM

Front came out really clean

JRas · 11-03-2007, 03:45 PM

why ditch the mustang wheels and go 350z? sounds like a downgrade to me

shifteds14 · 11-03-2007, 03:56 PM

i just have to say its lookin good

drftkng951 · 11-03-2007, 04:09 PM

clean car.....
if it was mine i'd put g35's 7 spoke wheels they have always been my favorite..
but its not my car.
it looks pretty kool how it is....
good job

wannabe_drifter · 11-03-2007, 09:14 PM

The job looks really good, Especially the "home made" fenders, which are really well done.
But personally I don't like that bumper really, I would definitely have put another one with side skirts and rear valences.

But then again, this is really easy to tell when its not about your wallet...
And it is also not my car ...

So then good job on a well done car.
