Hi all
So having been a member on here for quite a long time I thought it was about time I started a project thread and made an effort to try and get along to a few local events and hopefully meet few local members.
So I am now on my 2nd s14a and I love it, I bought it off a member on here so some of you may recognise it. Have done a few bits to it since owning it and have plenty more planned.
So the car the day I bought it looked like this.
Lovely and clean with a nice sensible spec list as follows
Stage 1
Decat, Stainless turbo elbow and 3" downpipe
apex cat back
apex type 2 FMIC
K&N filter
Walbro 255lp/h fuel pump
Gizzmo MS-IBC electronic boost controller
HEL stainless turbo oil and coolant lines
Pigeon mod
HSD Dualtech coilovers
kouki spoiler
17" Rays
First mods were a new deepdish wheel and a random gear knob to replace the worn out stock items.
Stayed like that for a little while until I decided I fancied some new wheels, I liked the wheels on it but the sizing was a little weak. Had a few other things eating up money at the time so ended up going for some Japan Racing JR12's in the meantime until I can afford something better.
So here they are 17x9 ET25
So old wheels looked like this
New wheels test fitted looked like this (this is with 25mm spacers all round as well).
Lots of arch rolling later we got tyres on and dropped onto the ground leaving this
Which all resulted in this
Was overall really happy with how they fit, no rubbing what so ever but I want to lower the front a good bit more and the rear a little more. I made an attempt but collars were pretty seized up so that is still on the to do list.
Anyway drove around like that for a while and took some pictures.
Then decided the stock seats had to go which resulted in me picking up a lovely pair of DC2 recaros, super happy with how these look in - not far from a factory look and so comfy.
And that is where we are at today, the car is off the road for the winter so its sat inside gathering dust while I plan the next stage. This year on the list is a set of new real wheels (no more reps!), probably some jdm kouki aero and a little more power probably something around the 300hp mark would be perfect. Also needs an alignment which may have to wait till i have decided on new wheels and lowered it some more. I shall be putting it back on the road as soon as the weather improves and I can't wait for this year!
Thanks!

I agree, lowering it a bit more would give you that extra piece of WOOW! Well goodluck with the build. looking forward to see more.
