I forgot to take engine shots, I'll get those probably tomorrow night. if its still pretty clean under there. anyway they are too loarge for attachments or something cause it wont let me attach them but they are all here in this imagestation gallery. enjoy. comments welcome critizisms will be met with good natured F offs :) kidding post um I dont really care. :cool:

damn you!

[Steeles]

thanks man lol no go ahead I said post the negatives lol. I'll point out a negative for ya; My buddy that painted the wheels didnt bother to take the outside weights off when he did it, so when I put new tires on they came off and left little silver spots, and now with new weights the edgehas all these silver spots!

Looks good, I like the bumper.
I bet that hood looks mean in person!

hehe tomorrow man I'll take some hopefully tomorrow. I gotta get in there and redo compression and leak down tests. compression test numbers were pretty low, gotta figure out whats causing tht and high leak numbers in #3. hoping its all in the head. (for my wallets sake) so before we begin I'll take some.

my buddy that painted the wheels (and is currently sporting my racing harts) just got I thik 1/2 inch adaptors for them. I may steal them back lol. hes got them and I've got his stockers cause they wouldnt clear my Z calipers. we'll see. I bought them 2 years ago before I knew enough about offsets and such to know what I wanted so they'll be temporary till i can save up for the SSRs or volks I want ;)

love the wheels, but the only thing i would do, is get the little thing that goes on the bumper that like makes the headlights look smaller and angled (like the 97-98) but love everything else

[crazyikimasho]

nice. I like the front bumper and cf hood, looks good.

You mean the eyelids, or that ugly ass thing (all my opinion) that goes from fender to fender and gives the 97-98 look. IMO they both are ugly, but I love the 95-96 headlights.

The only thing that would make your car look better IMO is no spoiler, other than that some wider wheels would do ya good, but I love how the stock ones look on your car. Love the hood two, it would look better painted, but for money's sake that can wait.

What's with everyone wanting to make their car look like something else. It's one thing to accentuate the lines or exagerate subtle features of your car but why make it look like a 97-98 when it's a 95-96

Anyway Brandon nice ride. I love the all black look...very stealthy. You have done very well grasshoppah...now for the pebble test:p

[Steeles]

yeah Im not that big of a fan of the eyelines myself, and I'd shoot you if you tried to put that bomex spoiler eyebrow thing on my car. (although R240NAII's eyelids are Smokin hot!) some wider wheels are in the works as money allows. I'm gonna leave the hood unpainted especially if I change the color to what I want. (IS300 grey metallic) lol and I go back and forth with the ming thing.. I dunno if I wanna leave the stock one on or go wingless. we'll see.

Thanks All! glad you all like it! shes coming together. hopefully i'll have her finished by the end of the year. :D

You have done very well grasshoppah...now for the pebble test

[crazyikimasho]

guess no one likes my home-made eyelids either....:(

No more "snatch the pebble from my hand," now it's "snatch the bling from my ring..." Back on topic: YOUR CAR IS A POS, I HATE IT, ESPECIALLY THE WAY YOU EFFORTLESSLY RUN AWAY FROM US ON THE HIGHWAY AND...
... Wait, I only hate it because I'm jealous, now if we could only get you to WASH the damn thing consistently...

[Bliss]

SWEET! Looks helllllllla nice. I really like the painted stock wheels. And the FMIC. *drool* But yeah, i REALLY like the stock painted wheels.

[dogga]

Great car. I also like the painted wheels and the hood. What's it like performance wise?

[92s13]

Nice. Even with the kit and hood it still looks really clean IMO. I like it.

shut it! hehe I do wash it consistently. just not THOUROUGHLY and consistenetly. like even tough I did the exterior I didnt vacum and I still havent put the floormats in from the autocross in March.

Bliss - thanks man :)

dogga - performance wise? crap thats a list, 1996 S13 Sr20det, greddy intake manifold, and FMIC, HKS wastegate actuator set at 14.5psi, 3" dp, TP, to Apex'i N1 Dual, Fidanza 11lbs flywheel, Spec stage II clutch B&M short Shifter, Nismo clutchpack LSD, 4.36 final gear, blown Apex'i world sport coilovers, Monkey magic TC rods, 300zx Calipers, drilled and slotted rotors, optima sealed battery in the trunk. made 205hp and 180lbs/ft torque at 7psi. havent dynoed it since I turned it up to 14. fastest 1/4 to date was a [email protected] (but I suck at Drag racing :) )

92s13 - thanks I'm trying to keep it pretty subtle exterior wise. i was a little worried about the hood but it came out pretty good. considering I ordered it without ever seeing it ;)

[dogga]

[Steeles]
