Sup? I have always been too lazy to do one of these, but figured why not! About 3 years ago I bought this 95 s14 kouki converted clean title with an sr20 installed.. wed Kranze ERM wheels.. suspension, INGS +1 Kit and sexy pearl pink paint, sadly so much little shit was wrong.. steering bushings were missing!!!, air filter was missing..!! bunch of shit was not tightened right. Harness caught on fire...coilovers were seized..bad fuel pump, rhd turbo elbow so elbow would hit steering shaft, and I am sure you can imagine how far the list goes down.. overall a huge nightmare that lasted longer than I contemplated for, but for my 2nd S chassis this was the ONE I was gonna build to my liking. When I first saw this car, my jaw seriously dropped.. I couldn't believe how good the pearl pink looked with the simple INGS+1 kit and ERM weds wheels, I straight fell in love .. the dude had a DUI or something and let it go for a reasonable price, considering what it had on it. As soon as I bought it I went to a gas station and got sum dudes complimenting me on the paint hahaha I knew right then it had to be completely re done to MY liking and expectations. Another nightmare was that it was registered to NEVADA!! fml I live in sOcaL .. had to pay sum fees work some magic, fill out some paperwork, get it smogged..after that got it insured, registered and we were good to go.


Rear bumper was zip tie stitched, with a I <3 Drifting sticker on it.. had to go ASAP.

Jordan and Eddie from Jordan Innovations hit me up personally to say they had 9k Bn rep front fenders since I wouldn't shutup about it, at that time Dmax hoods were also available from them, done deal bought them both!


one side skirt somehow managed to fly off the freeway lol I had horrible luck with that kit.. picked up Vertex side skirts and an Msport rear bumper for super cheap,



shortly after, front bumper decided to blow up going up a nasty drive way...

Decided to take apart wheels and sent lips to Alex from Wheelfip to get polished up to look brand new

knew a good friend who got into powder coating, figured might as well paint the faces gold


car looking at its worst! waiting for wheels to be put back on hahaha picked up another INGS +1 R spec front bumper!!!

got lips and faces back looking so damn good!!! new hardware as cherry on top



Couldn't wait to put wheels back on!!! looks just how I imagined it to look, this pic was taken the same night my engine blew lol


time for a rebuild smh...

figured might as well do sum internal work.. CP pistons


So much depression that I decided to buy myself sum Ganador mirrors and Kouki tails



Engine out.. might as well paint engine bay Gold to match wheels!!

Jordan Innovations again with their cool parts, found out they had sum D-max type 3 kits in stock.. jumped right on it

test fitting the kit just when engine rebuild got finished

Got Sr running solid betta than ever


Kit on, SR rebuilt, ganadors on! Dmax 3 installed sooo in love


Car definetly needed bigger lips, wanted to go wider, went to talk to Alex at wheel flip to see how big and all and stumbled across his S13 Odyvia with Wed Kranze Vishunu wheels and fell in love.. I couldn't stop thinking about them, I didn't know how I would ever fit them.. Put my wheels up for sale anyways and within a week sold old weds went back and paid for Vishunus! we re polished lips to look brand new and mounted sum brand new 595 tires


waited NO time to see how they looked.. rears couldn't even be test fitted from being so wide!! Fronts are 18x10 -10 rears a massive 18x12.5 -44 with a custom 7.5" lip!!! ridiculous I had no idea what I was in for but they looked super nice

I originally wanted Origin rear overs.. but the wait time was ridiculous!!! picked up sum what claimed to be 50mm overs .. God, worse thing I could of ever done they were hideous fit so nasty over all just wasn't what I really wanted to do.

Spoke to Raymond over in Az and he just happened to have sum 50mm Chargespeed overs for sale, had one shipped asap . thanks my boy!

these are sooooooooooo fresh

It was time... point of NO return!! My boy Max going ham


Test fit the rears for the first time FINALLY!!! looks promising, a little more camber some bowing and it should be a perfect fit

picked up sum Pbm tie rods yeee

Found someone selling Dmax roof wing for a good price on craigslist, had to have it.

While I was waiting to get wheel fitment right I figured Id start working on interior as well, found sum Q45 door handles, Nismo white shift knob and red bride Shift boot to start making interior cleaner


Finally found a Bride Zeta II in red for a good price BOSSS

everything looked real good so far! and thank you to my good friend Rene for letting me rock that white steering wheel for over a year I belive lol

picked up sum solid bushings, gotta love new parts

installed sum suspension stuff, painted subrame and replaced bushings

CHA CHIIIIING!!!!! wheels finally fitted and I cannot stop starring, cannot wait to get this thing aligned to rivet overs


on the way to get alignment baby!!

Got car back from alignment, put front bumper and side skirts on feeling on top of the world right now!! unfortunately I bowed overs so much that now rear bumper and skirts aren't fitting right so I had to cut overs a bit to meet up with rear bumper and side skirts. looks aggressive a.f! somehow the rear Dmax bumper zip tie came off the one close to the rear wheel thus dragging it on the freeway damaging it pretty bad, I was able to save it, bought a cheap w.e bumper to rock for the mean time


wasn't long before I got annoyed of seeing the fenders out like that, decided to measure trim and cut anything I needed to get it to fit! came out amazing

Always wanted a hitman wheel.. never thought I'd ever come across one.. the day I saw it for sale I knew it had to be mine.. I really didn't care what color it was or how bad the condition was.. it's just one of those things I needed to own. Color is purple and it looks amazing


Also got around to getting sum checkered floor mats.. always wanted Dmax but could never push myself to spend 3 times what I spend on these and they look fresh!!

Bought a brand new GTX3071r turbo off a member here, man I can't believe what I got myself into..just like when I bought the wheels lol.
