Seeing as I seem to be spending more and more time on here I thought I throw my build up....

I swapped my old s13 for this pretty tatty s14 about 9-10 months back and got busy with from day 1

Oh yer Rota's and 4x4.

Sold the wheels, bought a Supermade kit, D-max wing and got my Vienna's out of storage:

Fitted a few bits inside

R32 brakes went on but I had to use 15mm spacers to clear

Went to a friends garage to weld up the badge holes in the hood, ariel, stock wing holes and third brake light

As much as I wanted to keep stock metal I had to use rear overs to cover up the nasty dent/deep scrape so I bought Rocket bunny +30's to try and keep them as subtle as possible

I also ended up buying the front ones after wrecking some JDM ones (UK have side repeaters in)

I'm not really happy with them to be honest because they're just not smooth/clean enough but at least I can just paint them up and use stock ones later on

Fitted PSM rod's and Driftworks tension arm

Put Driftworks RUCA and toe arms on

Fitted 56mm rad, removed the A/C and had a general tidy up in the bay

The rad pushed the cold start too close to the viscous fan so I though I'd cut it off and have it welded on further back along with having the BOV take off blanked. Replaced all the IC clamps for S/S Jubilee clips while I was there too

Replaced the VVT as that was nasty too

Got some Recaro SPG's for a good price

And thats pretty much where I'm at now, I've been waiting to paint the car for over 2 months but finally have a place sorted for the end of the month to get it done. I have all the paint ready to roll, RX8 sparkling mica black:

Untill that goes on it's sat looking like this
