Current status :







Never really thought about making a thread... I never saw mine as being big spec or overly sexy and clean. But hey ho here it goes ...

I have had the car around a year / 11 months, tried not to spend too much on it as I just wanted to get used to it. It's my second car, first was a 1999 1.3 push rod fiesta.. this was a bit of a jump up the ladder After around 2 weeks, I decided I wanted to enter the world of "Spendallmywagesoncarparts" haha here's a current spec list and pics to follow

2000 s14a Touring

First day I picked it up

[ryry92]

First purchase.. service kit.. cannot praise conceptuatuning enough!





Some nice new shiny red hoses.. 12 pieces!?!? I only found use for 6 of them I think lol

[ryry92]

Sound system was TERRIBLE .. Found out pretty much all the speakers were fooked So I upgraded to Focals all round

Then treated the bay to some more red bits and a lockwood white dial kit

I'm a fiend for Carbon Fibre





Walbro was next

[ryry92]

Then it was time for some new rubber Hankook evo v12s all round for the winter



Then the speedo problem occured So I decided to tear the clocks out and have a go

also fitted the lockwood kit

[ryry92]

Tried something different out...

Didn't like it so I went back to black lol, Thanks to redlinezak for fitting the Focals all round..

Then bad news strikes... Smoke on hot idle - Turbo seals = f**ked but I threw some more cash at it and eh voila :



New washers seals gaskets.. the whole nine





Thankfully the whole lot came off easy as pie.. I'm guessing it's been off before. Massive thanks to the cuz ajmalins





Out with the old n in with the new

[ryry92]

Might be a japspeed elbow !?



Ready to go in

Next spontaneously decided I'd buy Daz's R2D2

A couple of shots after a good clean



Fitted new Cusco front brace from one of the guys on here

And an awesome little sticker from new zealand Favourite one :P

Next up .. parts for the temp gauges -

[dannyboi200sx]

wow some progress there, and I swear I seen it around a few times before (bursledon Tesco?)

[ryry92]

Easily one of my most favourite things in the car

fitted the ones I wanted into my cheapie pillar pod :



And illuminated

White on white -

[ryry92]

perfect excuse for new parts



As soon as Sam (Mclean) Put this up.. I snapped it very rare Autech grill from the silvia import? Only other ones I have seen are the C.F ones from epr..

Whilst waiting for it to be sprayed something came in the post

Test fit... sat nice

Thanks to the big cuz once again.. this time it was new holes in the boot lid for the new r34 gtr wing

Dare I say it?? I kind of liked the sleek smooth look without a spoiler for a mo or two ...

[ryry92]

Another shot

Annnnd fitted



Finally the grill was finished!! Extremely happy with the outcome

[ryry92]

Something I always thought about the 14a's is that the touring has a high rear... No rear spats but they have side skirts and a front splitter.. so I decided to give it a nice fat ass



Bumper in bodyshop.. another present arrives

When dropping off the car I saw my next car was conveniently parked next to me... I wish lol

[ryry92]

After a tedious week of non stop worrying... I went to pick the sx up and...

I like big butts and I cannot lie



Dunno if you guys can see it but I thought I'd show off my sx high level brake light vinyl .. ohh and the new rear LED no.plate light bar is a bit too bright lol

[ryry92]

[ryry92]

That's it for now... There are a few things sat at home waiting to go on.. also a few things in Japan / USA waiting to come here

Nismo Injectors
New Brake kit
ACT HD Clutch

I'll keep this updated.. hope you guys like it

wow some progress there, and I swear I seen it around a few times before (bursledon Tesco?)

Near the petrol station bit? Yeah haha it's always parked there

[Big Dubs]

Welcome to the world of ditching all your spare cash into an s body, the bank balance doesn't like it but its a fun place to be!

[ryry92]

I know.. but when it does work I love driving it

[dannyboi200sx]

looks good now haven't seen it in a while...

[ryry92]

Cheers .. getting there. Few big changes over the next month or so probably the most expensive changes it's ever had
