Here are some pics of my car. I still have a few things to do. The rims are going on tomorrow and the front lip and spoiler should be here w/in a week or two. I'm gonna end up painted the cf hood, don't really dig the unpainted cf hood. Rear license plate is stilll ghetto rigged, i'm getting a cf plate made to mount the license plate on the kouki bumper.

HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD:eek:

Those are some huge pics.

freakin 2048x1536

Does anyone in thiere right mind have a desktop that big? Get adobe and resize em. Or take the pics at a smaller resolution, it'll make the pic look better.

Cuz it looks like a toy when that big.

Glad to hear you are painting the hood, I never really liked how people left em unpainted. Car looks good so far, next up is wheels or spacers

Very nice adaptation! Do you plan on the rear fender flaring?

I like the flare factor of the rear of the S-13 with the S15 front myself. Have never seen one though.

All I can say is nice work!

The top of the S-13 rear fenders are a closer look of the S-15

I have my desktop that big... :) those pics look awsome on my computer... (yes I own a 500$ monitor)

Ya, the pics are super huge. My buddy is hosting them for me and I forgot to resize them before sending. I'll have them resized by later today.

Like I posted earlier, the rims are going on tomorrow. They would have been on last week but I needed a set of 5mm spacers for the front. The front rims don't clear my brakes. H&R is out of stock of 5mm spacers until late September so I had to get a set made.

Bill, thanks for the compliments.

Looks cool. I still have a hard time with the rear since I am used to seeing Grand Am lights. :D

Very nice but she's begging for a badass FMIC;)...

Silviadriver:
The fenders are from speedalliance. Initial fitment sucked really bad. It took 2 bodyshops and quite a bit of money to get them to look decent.

Yes, they are the real jdm rear valences for the jdm kouki bumper.

The core support is pretty hacked. Looks decent though.

Thanks for the compliments. I'll post some pics of the car w/rims tomorrow or friday.

WMP: fmic will be filling the gaping hole very soon. We're going to start the motorswap next month.

I've had the car for about 4 months and have only driven the car about 4 times. House to bodyshop, bodyshop to another bodyshop, back to the 1st bodyshop then back home. So, I think I'll drive her around a few times before starting the swap.

that rear bumper deserves :bowdown:

Stock S15 front bumper right? I got tired of seeing all the fancy shmancy front S15 bumpers on S14's that make it look crappy. Good job. The rear is nice too , just wish there were better side skirts out there.:doh:

09-17-2003, 10:48 PM

Heartwork- thanks. ya, I'm digging the nimbus gray too.

DRFT-there is a plain ol' KA under the hood right now. I have a complete swap ready to go in though. We're probably going to start doing the swap in a few weeks. I just wanna drive the car as is for a lil bit before taking the stuff apart again.

TsunamiOne- thanks, I think I prefer the front end more than the rear bumper though.:D It was a big pain in the ass getting it done, so I guess I appreciate the outcome. If I had to do it all over again, I woulda just slapped a kouki front end on it though.

240stilo- yes, its a stock s15 front bumper. Ya, i wish there were some nicer side skirts too. The zenki sideskirts seem to match up decently though.

pics are not killer....you must have resized them

The car is not bad at all....kinda reminds me of another car (to lazy to find pics).

I wish I could have your rear bumper and valence. Is there anyway you can tell me how you got the rear valence?

PM me, e-mail me, or AIM: SimpleS14 if you can ;)

Look how much cooler that would look lowered! w/ a wing too!

Looking good! I knew Heartwork would like your skin color choice... He kept telling me to paint my car that color LOL!

One question... S14 or S13 SR goin in there? I've been looking for clean S14 SR for some time now with no luck... where'd you pick yours up?

95koukis14- I had them sourced from a guy named Tony, he works at a motorswap place called abcd out here in Socal.

Slidestar- the car already has coilovers. I'll determine the final ride height today when I slap the rims on. I wanna make sure the fronts don't rub. Rubbing on fiberglass fenders is a super scary thought. Sorry, but the pic you posted is not my style though. I don't like huge spoilers and the drop is too agressive for my taste.

iEATrice- neither an s14 or s13 is getting dropped in there. I have this engine to put in.
