First box on left says what kind of oil is being used, second box on left tells when the oil was last changed (6/10), third box on left tells when you need to change it again (12/10). The next two boxes on the right are the same thing but for the oil element which I think is the filter. The last box, I think is where it was changed. Awesome Build man!

So this weekened was Import Alliance summer meet at the ZMAX dragway in Charlotte, NC. Overall, I had a great time but it just didn't have the same feeling when it was held in Nashville. Attendance seemed a lot less than when it was held in Nashville. Although the meet was much more organized and not so spread out. When it was held in Nashville, it is almost impossible to see all the cars because it was so spread out. Another thing I liked about Charlotte was the area under the bleachers. This is where all the vendors set up and where a lot of the nicer cars parked. I pretty much hung out under the bleachers the whole time since it was so hot outside.
So I was just hanging out after I got my car parked and cleaned up and just watching cars roll in when I saw a white S15 roll by. I almost shit myself because usually you don’t ever see any other S15’s at meets or shows. I immediately recognized the car as VAs13’s old car. It was on some horrid looking Work Emitz wheels. I have seen this car all over the internet so it was pretty cool seeing it in person. I was more interested in meeting the owner and making friends with him since there aren’t many S15 owners out there. After talking to him for 20 minutes, I walked away because he was a complete douche. To have such a rare and nice car but be an ass about it is such a shame. Then later in the day one of my friend told me he was waiting in line next to a grey S15. I was again very surprised to hear of another S15 at the show. I had seen pictures of a grey S15 from the IA spring meet and turns out it was the same one. This one was a sr20det swapped spec s but it had a lot of things my car didn’t have like HID headlights with the adjusters and even autech seats which I thought only came in the autech version or an option for spec r. He had the matching door panels so it looked like it came factory that way but not sure. It had 18 inch SSR SP1 in the spectrum silver finish which are gorgeous wheels. But anyways, I found the owner and talked to him for quite a while. Fortunately the owner was super nice so we exchanged contact info so we could keep in touch. I am very lucky to be friends with Downstar Inc/Bolt Boys so I got to roll in early with them and not wait in line. I also go prime parking right down vendor row. I got a lot of positive feedback on the wheels and the car as a whole. Pretty much every person I talked to asked me if my car was a real S15. People must think it’s really easy to convert a S14 to an S15. I took this picture on the way home to Atlanta. |

most of the time, i find out that these people are more concerned about the scene than they are about meeting people, making connections and keeping it a community. people that were around the 240 community back in the day understand this, as nowadays its a total clusterfuck of guys with illest stickers and wheels that fit like my cock up paris hiltons ass as for the calipers, i find it odd that they are using a npt fitting to seal... not as durable as a compression fitting. i would not recommend removing those fittings too often, they could end up damaging the thread (over time). in addition, most stainless lines are not DOT compliant... from what i read they dont pass the whip test. i noticed my stoptech calipers came with DOT compliant lines - the main difference is that they have a plastic strain relief piece at the end, though i dont think that does shit. i have a vendor i work with that specializes in hydraulics and they told me its all bullshit. hmmm... ide be curious to see any technical documents in regards to the dot whip test compliance. anyone? |

Love the Model 5's. The car looks great.
I am pretty young and have not been in the scene all that long, but have had an opportunity, as of late, to meet some of the original members, and this has become quite apparent to me. |

I can't believe VAs13's old ride now looks like a bag of dicks. And I guess the owner's attitude matches those terrible looking rims. At least the other Spec S owner is a nice guy...

Dude needs to sell that thing to me. I have some 03s sitting in cali that would love to make that car feel warm and fuzzy inside again, LOL.
This is the first info I have seen about IA- thanks for posting, Kev. Hopefully Kyle, Jason, and I will be back next year. Maybe we can all crash together and bro out etc. No homo. |

the more i deal with car people, the more i fucking hate them. i get calls all the time from people who want to tell me their mods, as if that makes me care about their car more. if these people would talk about normal shit, i probably wouldnt hate them so much. but instead, they chose to re-enact the scene from Anchorman where Will Ferrell says "I'm kind of a big deal" .. as if we should all care that you drive an <s15> <mclaren f1> <rocketship> i like this thread and this car because the owner is actually putting effort to build a nice, fun car. god i hate people |

This is a great thread. Your car is coming out awesome. I know the guy Mike with the white S15, he usually is a genuinely nice guy, maybe he was having a bad day? Either way, t sucks that you had a shitty experience talking to another S15 owner.
My wife's build isn't done yet, but this thread has me anxious. Enjoy: I'll have a mod list and build thread when she's finished. |

I'm not defending his actions. I AGREE with you on your remarks. I'm just stating that in the times that I have talked to him my experience has been different. That's all.
It could also be the fact that maybe he approached me first so the roles were reveresed. Either way. |

I try talking with people at shows, but its just pointless. Nowdays everyones ego at shows is based off their forum popularity it seems like. Its stupid, no-one knows who you are, and I'm sure as fuck not going around indroducing myself as MadScientist or Mr. Rare Trick. 90% of the people I have talked to will blatenly lie about the parts they have also, while standing in front of their car!!
But anyway Lu, I am glad you got this beautiful machine, and I actually hope to meet you some day. |

I've been trying to find the guy..LOL. I rarely go to meets and when I do I've yet to see this car. I was originally going to try and purchse this car. I couldn't sell my car in time. Sucks that it ended up looking like that. Hopefully at some point I run into the guy and can make him an offer. Bring the car back to it's somewhat former glory..
