So i didnt want to show you guys anything until the end of winter but… i decided to take some pics along the way and pretty much record the process of the tear down and rebuild of my s14…
It all started back 2 years ago when i picked up my 95 zenki from a girl in kitchener. it was grandma gold and clean no rust. interior was mint with no stains, dirt scratches etc… i was pretty excited… rwd was fun for about 3 months strait of tire cooking… the car may have more km on spun tires than proper daily use… im sure thats the case for alot of us…
When i picked her up she basically looked like a 4 bolt se zenki… no lip… no suspension… and no mods… that got old fast… so i called up my buddie varun !! i said " hey im thinking about an rb25, he said fuck that, go sr… i said DEAL! and grabbed my first sr motor off him for a sweet price.
2 weeks later with the help of racing evolution and varun the install was done… i also grabbed some megan gauges, exhaust, hks intake, bigger injectors, a bings FMIC… you know the basic jazz
everything was good until i cracked my old intercooler on the curb… and had to get another and cut the bumper to fit… so a few scratches later … we were in this postion
so now winter time comes… she gets parked… and i decided i want to do something drastick… i didnt know at first what i was in for… but here is the process so far on whats been going on …
Right now im finishing up on most of the body work… still needs alot of prep for paint, but we ended up patching up alot more than i thought. on the left rear 1/4 inside the wheel well there was a almost a 12 inch hole by 5 inches wide… so that we cut out and patched in a new piece tacked for now… and also shaved the antenna complete.
The kouki wing i have is oem and the old wing i had was s14 as well…
and yes i know i need 5 lug and rims, suspension is finally here STANCE FTW! and in doo time samson is going to hook me up with some baller status wheels to match my rolled rear fenders and flushnesss lol … if you notcie too the spots on the front area where there was a hella lot of rust is now cut out and re welded in so thats all strong… so basically whats left for body work is clean up the rear bumper… sand the front bumper and install the new rockers.
heres some updated pics
the hole that was in my trunk basically haha
antenna and all of the damn dents are now cleannnn
sorry for the shit quality im gonna get on it with my digi tomororw so i will have lots more… and the front end is ready to be painted so no pics of it on the car yet… heres what i have so far
its just sitting in my garage in this pic pearl white now its all sanded and ugly
and here is just the last pic of my car while it was still gold…
props for being original with the colour choice, too many people go black on S14’s and it hides the lines a little too much on the sexualllll kouki facia.
GET ALL BLACK WHEELS (no polished lip) it would look bomb with the paint. Like nice 18" nismo LM 5 spokes or something.
man your in my head haha i have a plan for all black with a sattin red lip… but i donno yet… but yeah i hear you about the body lines and such… i left the k’s grill black, and i did the intercooler pipes in annodized black… i also have the oem badge which is black, then black tint, and black sunroof, black brides… so its all comming together.
One sick thing i did which alot of ppl havnt is i did the center of the kouki wing in carbon fiber, and then im going to paint the sides silver and blend into the middle so it will look clean until you look real close to see the carbon in the middle…
