Well, I have had this S14 since May, thought its finally time I did a project thread. So my idea is to learn to drift in it, and get the car drift ready. Not too worried yet about how it looks as I'm expecting to give it a little love tap here and there!
This is how I got the car the day I picked it up, anyone know of it? It had a stage 1 chip in it, some ropey old exhaust, a dodgy rear paint black rear panel, and an old apexi air filter, oh and the purple wheels!

So I pulled the rocker cover off this morning, it was raining so I half to be quick! Towel over the engine and shut the bonnet!
I cut out the webbing in the cam cover to allow for the rocker arm stoppers, and removed the oil spray bars too, then stuck them both in a parts washer to clean out any swarf, and then blew them both with an air gun to be sure.
Lol yeh it was the catch can, I ve replaced it now, as the tube he used was some plastic stuff that ran pretty much on top of the exhaust manifold! I didn't want to risk it catching fire.
And some CL RC5+ brake pads! only had a little drive in it to bed them in a bit but wow what a difference! Bite really quick, perfect to offset the weight of the car and get the back end out, can't wait til Wednesday, first drift day...

Also, managed to get a deal on a Whitleine anti roll bar for the front, I have already recently upgraded the front droplinks and anti roll bar bushes but this Weill help!
The bar was delivered this week, few scraps here and there, so I rubbed it down to bare metal to get rid of the rusty parts, and gave it a coat of white hammer it's, seems fitting as I have just brought a few Ultra racing braces.
