Yes, you are the winner!

Sorry, about the crappy cell phone pics. It doesn't make the color look right.

A small update. I've fitted the rear bumper correctly, the kouki spoiler, rear lights and my rear wheels. Also a new window trim of my wind shield is fitted. It's also impossible to get the colour right when I take pictures.







My mate Rik's '78 Toyota Cresida who helped me out:

My Driftworks adjustable rear arms were installed:

And finally, my front wheels were put on. Also, everything was aligned. Thx Rik! Thx Niels!







The result:





I'm not finished yet. I have to space the rear with 10 mm. The front has max. camber of -5 and at the back it's something like -3. I don't have the actual numbers as I left the report at the shop.

But I'm quite happy with the result so far!

need to drop the front an inch

dub40sx

and a half. Wish it were kouki front. Still looks pretty sick though.

JOeS

Yeah, I know. It actually was, but I had to raise it. I couldn't get it as low as I wanted, because of rubbing against my inner arch. But then again I had to raise it further from stop rubbing against the inside of my fender when I turn my wheels. So I'm going to try to grind some more of the inside of my fender. But it's still limited because of lack of space from my inner arch.

JOeS, I've read the entire thread thus far and I must admit that your friends as well as yourself have great fabricational skills. The battery relocation box was my favorite bit!

I too, have a S14.5 (the S15 front end with 2001 headlights, oem bumper, and oem hood was a free gift with the purchase of the US3800.00 Zenki SE) and am in the process of getting another SR20DET swapped into this Daily driver. I have the same front fenders and will be wary of your plight when I purchase aggressive wheels in the future.

+1 on lower, also think the front bumper looks dated, just my opinion, something else would set your car off way more, like bn type 2 or ings even, everything is super nice though.

Thx a lot! But I have to admit though that it's totally the fabrication skills of my friends. I'm only great at getting food and drinks for them while they're busy.
You've got a great deal with your car! Do you have a project topic yourself? And if you need advice with anything, don't hesitate to ask!

You're both right. Well if a better front bumper comes along I might get it. And I need to fabricate bigger inner arches for the front before I can lower it more. So I have to wait for that.

Thx man! I'm not really sure what to do with my motor. Either 550 cc injectors with a H-Dev stage 2 chip from Horsham or a VQ35 swap. My friend is currently looking in the latter, so I'll wait for now to see how his build is going. My friends also started with a 2JZGTE swap in a S14. That's also an option I consider. I need an excuse to take the engine out for the fabrication of my inner arches, right?

Thank you!

Nice! I will lower it, I just need to take care of the inner arches first.

Honestly I think the car looks amazing as it sits. I would not go lower.

JOeS, I can understand if you decide not to lower it more as anyone can see that you've spent money so much on paint and bodywork already. Do what what you will. You still win anyway...

Puhlease run functional tires! please!

JOeS

What do you mean? They are functional, I can drive my car normally. It is my daily. It's also rather comfortable and not bumpy since I don't like a harsh ride.
