The search button is your friend... There are a few S14.5's on here.
Have a look in the Traders section for people who may be able to help with the bits
Oh, and welcome to the SXOC
Pics here...
Remember, buy the Japanese kits because they fit better, and be prepared to spend a fair bit of money to get the panel gaps sorted out properly at a bodyshop
how much are we looking at for these conversions? i am also very interested in a S15 conversion on an S14.
ive seen that a few times, is it still for sale? i actually meant how much are we looking at for the conversion kits?
You need to ask Dan at www.srbpower.com
doh
thanks for the welcome, im so itching to buy a new motor is winding me up lol, shame i cant buy till the 25th !!
Oooooo look, here's one http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=174639
why are they called strawberry conversions? sorry if thats a stupid question!
The japanese for 15 sounds like strawberryOriginally Posted by J...
To be precise, its a combination of two Japanese words.
1 is 'Ichi' and 5 is 'Go'
'Ichigo' is Strawberry in Japanese. 15 is a different Japanese word.
Well that's me put in my place
They don't call me Mr Pedantic for nothing.
S15 front end conversions can be purchased from Dan at SRB Power and I got mine from Bren @ Apex Performance Parts <--- on this board)
They are not just a straight bolt on kit, due to the fact that you have to cut holes in the front pannel to allow the headlights to clear. Apart from that, they all line up just fine.
Don't buy an american kit, because they suck donkey cock.
To be honest, the only piece that is actually custom is the wings. The rest are just S15 items. The bonnet sits on different hinges and the S15 front slam bar & lighting brackets are used and just bolt straight up. An S15 front end conversion can be done WAY cheaper that buying brand new pannels and such, if your in the market for one.
Just go out and buy:
S15 bonnet
S15 bumper
S15 lights (pair)
S15 front slam bar and lighting brackets
S15 bonnet hinges
and a pair of chargespeed S14.5 wings from Dan @ SRB
Then bolt it all on.
Done and dusted.
cheers fellas, advice much appreciated
