iLL Garage build thread...

[ESone3]

We started with a BARE s13 chassie which was gutted completely and brought back to life. The car's intent is road course, but i'm sure we'll be doing other stuffs with it (hard parking :P ). I didn't want to build a car that was strictly for one thing. Right now as things change, get the car dialed in (motor/suspension tuned), maybe take it to some events and see where it goes. This car is not the cleanest by any means but will be built perfectly for my driving needs. Ultimately, I just wanted to build a car that i've always wanted. Enough, here are some pix..

FYI: Wheel sizes are 18x10 +0 and 18x13 -36

[Brian]

interesting.

WHERE IS THE HOOD

[Teddy]

cool.

BUT NEEDS TO BE LOWERED

[Om1kron]

mexi flush front end bro lol.

[ESone3]

ChicagoStyle SON! J/k

Didn't finish the hood pins on time, but they are on now. Also, changed tires... tried to do MAX TIRE in the front but didn't work. I have 235/40's on the front. Saw gewd..

[Brian]

Good choice with kit too. good kit for 15 face 180.

[aa87]

someone buy chicago some hoods.

[wh0aitznic0]

Chi-town has better things to do than source out hoods.

[Teddy]

someone buy chicago some hoods.

For reals.

[trust hks]

LOL

No hoods is gay.

If you dudes took it seriously.

I'm sorry for you.

[Devil Man]

looks very good great color combo i love that grey color so much... but also <3 red too...

[NewS13Guy]

Noice!!!!!!!!!

[Shadowhunter]

Looks good but naked, get a bonnet on that thing!

[s13gebala]

saw this at hin and realized it was the one that you guys had in the garage a while back all stripped.

i liked how clean that engine bay looked, had a hard time finding wires lol

[ChiSleepyEyes]

i thought i saw this at HIN

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

you said the mexican polished the wheels, but did he also fit them?

[wannabdr1ftr]

love the color

[mattro]

if i could run no hood i would, and nice colors btw. build my next car ? lol

[Maiku240sxS14]

Damn love the color! Just don't like the S15 face. Very nice build.

[tricky_ab]

I find it funny that the first thing I though when I had seen it with no hood, I though "chi-city"

Looking great! I'm diggin' the colour!

[XenoVibe]

Wow that car turned out pretty sick. props :)
fine ass model too.. props to her parents :O

[ESone3]

The hood (or lack of) was not intentional, however I knew if it wasn't done.. it would be influenced ;P Not to worry, aerocatch's are on it now along with a gay ass Seibon hood.

thanks for all the feedback so far

[Ceepo]

I love the car personnaly diffrent tire choice would be in mind for me, try and tuck them in the fenders and slam it, but looks great overall :)

[lonely_coupe]

i LOVE the color scheme. purple FTW!!! and this is honestly the ONLY s15 front conversion I have liked (still don't really like it, lol). good job! i agree, maybe an inch or so lower and the wheels will fit better and just look perfect.


sooo jealous

[ESone3]

New tire size has been made and will be lower up front.

Found some new pix

[BustedS13]

i like how jealous all these cali guys are that you can run around without a hood on with an SR.

it's adorable

[Slammed180]

What are your wheel specs?
I agree with it being lowered more, and tucking more tire.

[koukikrisp]

friggin gorgeous! im not a fan of purple/pink but that thing is sex!

[s14unimog]

looks great, and I'm totally diggin the color combo. I can't wait to see the action shots...you do plan to still use it? What the setup on the motor? What did you lay down?

[Eastside DriFto]

I love rear view mirror...GANgsta..

[s14unimog]

^ former Honda guy.... cough cough:Ownedd:

[pennjones]

I love it. I do wish it had pop-ups though. I like the s15 front end on this car, I just think that the widebody with the same kit would look soo good with some pop ups! Thanks for the build thread, and great car!

[FinalDrive]

i like the gray/glitter purple colorway

[drift_limo]

:eek2: i normaly dont like strawberry face hatchbacks but damm it looks good

Slam it and tuck it like a tranny!

good build

[Flicktitty]

Looks great man!

i seriously walked around it like 5 times at HIN! the pic's don't do this car justace, the flake on the valve cover,wheels is crazy! i love it!

[thisisastickup]

cleanest car at HIN. all the fuckin ricers didn't help, though.

[ESone3]

thanks homeboys, now time to get it tuned and crash it >:P

[ka-turbo]

FFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA LLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
somone who does a great job on an s13.5 front end conversion
CLEAN and keepin the body lines clean wit some great set of rims.....i would of gone wit a lil bit smaller body kit more like drifting pretty's s15 but obvioulsy diff color
very VERY few have i seen ppl pull off a clean s13.5 conversion
95% of s13.5 conversion always come out like shit mainly cause ppl dont really know wat their doing or what looks good or have some stupid sponsor body kit that looks like a$$ on the car
AWESOME job ILL GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eddieflo]

nice, props to you fellas!

[nixad]

thanks homeboys, now time to get it tuned and crash it >:P
