So i started with what i'm currently driving. S14 kouki, 5 spd, n/a. Originally wanted a 13 silvia but i didn't find one soon enough, so i kinda settled, still looking for a 13.

when i got her a year ago

after a bunch of random work.

and regardless how much i enjoyed the 14, i finally got my blistered 13 silvia... shell.

from what i understand, this car was actually pretty decent lookin once upon a time. it's been sitting on it's floor boards in a storage lot for about a year and i finally had the place to put it and the cash at the same time. After a week of runnin in circles tryin to get it rollable, i got some mismatched suspension on, borrowed some hubs and spindles with most of the bolts just kinda resting in place, threw a steering wheel on and 2 hours later, out she went.

Inerior and the underside will be stripped and undercoated then most of the interior will be made or modded to fit. the front end is gettin sold or goin in the dumpster and a new front end put on. There's no engine/mission/diff in it so that's just fun to be had. Whatever parts i don't have for it by september will be pulled off my 14.
The rest of the info will be in the progress pics... enjoy.

no, because you didn't read the forum rules. There is no building going in here, no details so it's considered a "hey i'm new and here are my pictures thread" which isn't allowed.

Build threads:
Almost everyone enjoys building their cars (http://zilvia.net/f/#) and sharing that experience, as well as checking out others' builds for inspiration. Sadly, far too many users have a tendency to do half-hearted builds and either rarely update or update with trivial progress. In the interest of keeping the Chat forum clear of three hundred 'Install SR, ziptie aero, rattlecan paint' threads, incomplete, or in-progress build threads are not allowed. If you have completed your build, wrangle all those pictures into a post and tell us about it, but make sure the build is finalized. If you insist on having an in-progress build, Premium members have a specialized subforum for that specific purpose.

They will lock it because it isn't a build thread yet, just pics of a car that got delivered.

All the reasons above, in addition to the fact that somehow, despite being in Japan (ok, sorta Japan), you managed to make a kouki S14 so ugly not even a ricer would want it.

Yes, I'm being an asshole (stick around awhile and you'll discover that it's been going on for the past 8-9 years or so), and yes, I'm saying that your taste is poor and that Oki is meh. Live on mainland and you'll understand why.
