[Philly-S14a]

First off sorry if this is in the wrong section.:thumbs:

Anyway after a day out drifting with my mate Chris200 i sold my pug gti-6 the next week and went and got my self a s14a of my own to start the fun and games:)
i just thought i would share with you people what i have done so far:thumbs: so here goes.

Here is how i brought the car, pretty much standard apart from a induction kit,cat back exhaust and some really odd crome wheels. the car was in ok condition apart from a really badlly faded bonnet and the wheels.

here she be,:eek: as you can see she had been attacked and shonked up:cry:

hang five here is what i have done to restore her.:)

[Philly-S14a]

The first thing that was done was change the plugs to new ones,then changes the turbo gaskets, then put some braided oil and water lines on, then changes the oil,oil filter,fuel filter and gave it a really good service.:thumbs: Then we added a walbro fuel pump, then got a boost gauge and a bren device and im now running a safe 10psi atm.:thumbs: We also replaced the rad with a new one:thumbs:

I would like to thank my mate chris for the help with everything:thumbs:

Here are some more pics where i have lowered her 35mm,changed the wheels to standard ones and sprayed them black:thumbs: i have also removed the nismo badges and 200sx badges, then tinted the back lights indicators etc:) i have alsobeen polishing the bonnet to try and get rid of the dullness, as you can see it has nearlly gone,thanks to g3 and a mop:thumbs:

Superb! Looks really evil now and that engine bay is 10000000000x better!

[Philly-S14a]

I managed to pick up a set of wheels for a bargain the other day:) they were curbed a fair bit but i stripped the paint off the lips then polished them:) They turned out really nice. the are 18s and the fronts are a 8j and the rears are a 9j.

Here is the car up to date:) i still got along way to go but this is just the start:) between me and my mate chris we have done everything on the drive way at home. pretty cool huh:thumbs:

Fanks mate, cant beat the shine:)

[Philly-S14a]

how did you get the inlet manifold shiny??

remove the top half of the inlet, bung the holes up. then get a angle grinder with a wire wheel on it go over as much as you can get, then use hamerite
metal polish:)

just be careful tho, the angle grinder fires bits of wire every where if you get it wrong.lol:thumbs:

[chrisp]

A very nice car indeed;)
I've really enjoyed helping with this car, and it's come on so well in the last few weeks. Much better than the pug in every way in my eyes.
Roll on the VVT sprocket mission:D

[spin king]

Verynice like the wheels and the lights look verynice whats next??

[Benn]

Looking very nice, nice subtle changes look best on the S14a imho. I'm still looking for a nice S14a to buy... looking at this is making me really really want one soon!:thumb:

Cheers bud,:thumbs: . Next will be to fit a new vvt sproket. Then once that is done its a new better turbo time, with de-cats,and stage one chip:) im not sure about the stage 1 chip yet i may skip it and go straight for stage 2:) but that will mean a bigger intercooler,bigger injectors etc. see how it goes:thumbs: im also at some point gonna get another engine and rebuild the internals with loads of goodies.:sxoc:

[Philly-S14a]

I also got a down pipe off my mate chris and upped the boost a tad.:rolleyes:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c296/T774MLK/FRONTMOUNT2.jpg

Then i thought i would butcher the bumper.still i spent ages tidying it up afterwards and i think it turned out ok. It was one of those all or nothing moments, but it was dam good fun.

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c296/T774MLK/driftslag.jpg

crazy a?

Then just to give it a test run i done this to a set of tires:sxoc: on a track buy the way:thumbs:
