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.

very nice! 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.

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.

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

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.

old_s13

^^ 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.

s156spd

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!

old_s13

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.

s156spd

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.

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?

mike13

bahaha


haha


idiot.

justinhustle

i spend a lot on my car...it prolly could pass for a show car if i painted it

but i drive hard, rough and insane

its no fun if the parts dont get beat none

old_s13

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.

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

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.
