Well with the new season right around the corner, and hopefully nice weather too, I am curious as to what you guys and gal’s have planned for your cars? You don’t have to go in to details if you don’t want to and if yourkeeping your plans hush hush, no worries I understand.
My plans are for my KA-T, suspension and either fixing up my frontend the way it used to look or possibley a Silvia S15 bolt on frontend.
1 - Changing my front end back to pignose, and complement with oem aero (scribbles - you still got that lip???!!!)
2 - Koyo rad
3 - Coils
4 - Turbo back exhaust
Im just changing my suspension I will be either keeping my Eibach sportline springs and adding KYB AGX’s or possibly get rid of my springs etc and replace everything with some nice coilovers but most likely I will take tha AGX route (Cheaper).
-I am getting rid of my regular front strut bar and I will be installing the 4 point strut bars from CP racing on front and rear. To tighten things up a little.
Installing my VLSD rear end.
Installing a C’s short shifter.
Installing a kick ass alarm system.
Possibly get rid of my CD changer and get a nice CD player. I will probably sell my 2 12’s in the back and replace them with a nice kick ass single 10 inch sub in a box, to reduce weight.
-There is a good possibility I will do my SR20DET swap during the begining of summer if I find the motor that I want for a good price. If I don’t do it before I go to Europe in late July then I will do it after I get back in September.
-If I do my SR swap after IO get back from Europe then I will also change my clutch as well as my plugs and wires.
Oh yeah I forgot I am going to put this custom sticker I had made on my car, I don’t want to give it away so you will just have to wait to see it.
Get the car on the road in May, Get VLSD, do minor suspension and a 300zx brakes upgrades. Find some better seats than the stock s13’s. Maybe wheels and tires. Pretty much do whatever I can with the money from this summer of working while trying to save for the next year of school.
Remove my back glass (+attached rust) and replace it with back glass (+attached hatch)
Bings Lip
Straighten my driver side light ( I drive around with them up cause when they are down you can see the embarassing misalignment of it all )
Remove all the seats’ upholstery and put them in the washing machine for about a week.
Rip out broken antenna.
Clear corners … anyone know where to get these in Ontario? ALl I can find are from US on eBay
Tint rear quaters and new rear glass, still trying to decide what to do with the windows and windscreen ( btw I am tinting myself, any advice would be welcome )
PAINT JOB!!! ( btw I am painting myself, any pointing and laughing is welcome )
Various misc interior ( steering wheel decal upside down/deck trim too big to fit/carpet ripped a few places/ few clips AWOL )
rims
eibach pros
VQ35 swap
ok … those last three are maybe’s
yeah… my car is more of a project car than a daily driver but I still love it.
i want to launch a bunch more products and take bings.ca live…
the car will depend on how other things go, i dont make plans i let my bank account decide what happens to the car.
after exams i have the following going in:
nismo engine and tranny mounts
engine damper
Tubular exhaust manifold
T28 turbo (if i can find one in time)
Tein inner tie rods w/ S14 outter rod ends
subframe spacers
D2 damper warranties
clean up some of the ghey wiring in the car and get a boost gauge finally.
if i get the job i m supposed to get at the pay i am supposed to get then i’ll prolly dump a bunch more $$$ into it and make her a high 12 car with nice paint.
