where to go from here

[89cpe]

so over the past two years i have been building my car, yes slowly because i dont have crazy cash. take a look let me know where you think i should go next. i.e wheels, coilovers and so on, im having trouble deciding what to do.

Specs on what you have now?

[DrtyRat]

Get rid of that ugly 2 tone... coupe+2 tone=:barf:
Get a shroud for you fan or get some altima fans

[LB.Motoring]

2 tone is the best.

just not that two tone, stock twotone :D

[Jung918]

You can't go wrong with brakes. How about you go one brake mod, then one suspension mod, and then a power mod. O yeah, get a paint job before all that.

[89cpe]

that two tone is there sort of for a reason, i have rust around my windshield so i didnt want to primer up there until i take care of that, so i just left it two tone instead of spotted. fans= good idea. as far as engine im fine with what i got right now last time i tuned it, i hit 336 whp but since have been having some issues but thats just something i havent had the time to fix yet. ok so being more specific, im not sure if i should get wheels next or maybe coilovers, still need a bumper or lip for the front, and so on. where did you guys go from my point in building your car, i was more interested in the engine first, looks will be last unless i find deals like i did on the skirts and the rear bumper

[89cpe]

brakes thats something i could use for sure, what companies would you recommend for upgrades?

[Sil-Abc]

z32 front brakes and really good pads in the rear and thats all u need for brakes. upgrade the lines. work on the internals and start saving up for more power if u prefer. finish suspension (coils, tension, tie, rucas, sways, bracing, and bushings). interior, light weight theres always something to upgrade.

choose a catergoy:
style
power/perfomance
suspension
weight
accessories

which one do u wanna do and u go from there

[projekt_s13]

nice car, i like your taillights. lol
funny on differnt levels.

[89cpe]

cool thanks guys. my tail lights are the factory tails but i think the previous owner sprayed them on the inside for that smoked effect, im not gonna lie haha i kinda like em.

[integr97]

Great ride man, luvin those mini mirrors (even though you prolly can't see much). I like the 2-tone also, kinda looks like an undercover cop car though.

I would suggest some suspension mods since you've already got that SR motor in there. All that power aint shit without proper traction ya know.

But hey, lookin' great, keep up the good work!

[89cpe]

thanks man, thats what i think i might do cause my shocks are starting to feel shitty.

[nsn240]

the car looks great man, its pretty easy to see that you've put the effort into it. And even left the weird two-tone so you could get rid of rust the right way.

I'd say suspension because thats what you're probably gonna get the most out of in the future, exspecially since you already have the motor in

how bout 5 lug up front with some z32 brakes

[DrtyRat]

2 tone is the best.

just not that two tone, stock twotone :D
Very true...I meant painting the roof a diff. color from the rest(like the fast back 2 tone)...stock 2 tone ftw.

[statik]

how bout 5 lug up front with some z32 brakes

haha my first thought, finish the 5 lug and get another pair of s14 se wheels

[OptionZero]

how bout buying some driver skill through track time?

upgrades to the driver are always more effective than upgrades to the car

[DJPimpFlex]

^true, but coils and brakes are almost nessicary with that much power on the track.

[OptionZero]

sell the engine, swap in a KA, and viola, plenty of money for parts that will actually help him drive faster

one might argue that a KA, some MX's or RT's, better pads/lines/new rotors would make for a better time at the track than an SR and worn tires, blown suspension, and fading brakes

i see some aftermarket body work there, selling those alone should bring enough money to bring his brakes up to acceptable spec

but hey, i'm imposing my values on him

buy wutever will more rep points at the local meet or buy wutever you want (assuming there's a difference). that's the best advice ever

[89cpe]

track time around here is kind of tough, its only once a month that i know of. we have our little spot with cones, and about six years ago we were just drifting around those little islands in parking lots. i miss my 86 rx7 haha not really. so 5 lug in the front, yeah i guess i should. ive never had a good suspension on any of my old cars so im used to it, i actually cant wait to feel coilovers. im just happy to be where i am i never thought id have a potentially decent "drift" "track" whatever you want to call it car. but thanks alot for the feed back guys positive and negative all the same

I dont know if I would go as far to take out the motor, but I STRONGLY aggree that you can drive faster with less power and more suspension/tires/brakes ect.

[Cloud9]

piant the roof to match beffore anything
1. Finish the 5 lug
2. coilovers
3. Z32 brakes

Nice looking car though, and looks nicely modded for not much cash invested.
