s14 200sx skid / track car
« on: 17 June 2012, 21:57 »
Basically i wanted to get into drifting, so i bought an e36 328i which turned into the biggest dog i've ever owned so i binned it off and bought this off my mate.



96 s14 with 80 odd thousand on it, nasty front end smash with a previous owner resulted in a gash bumper and some slam panel damage :(
Completely standard with an apex'i air filter.

Its been a long year with loads (approx £11k) spent so here is a brief story.

Went out and bought some rota force wheels, coilovers and a bucket seat, proceeded to go skid.



Welded the diff, decent exhaust and a few other bits and bobs, went skid again.



Started to tidy it up a bit.



New t28r turbo in preparation for stage 1 powerz



New rota grid drifts in 17x9.5 et12 and navan silvia side skirts



New slam panel, driftworks coilovers, arms and intercooler



Santa Pod for a drift what ya brung day





Some night photography



As she sits now and how its probably going to stay for a little bit as im hoping to have a mk5 gti delivered on friday :D





Current spec:

Engine:
Garrett T28r turbo
Horsham developments stage 1 chip with 1 bar boost
Horsham developments tubular manifold
Japspeed elbow & downpipe
Apex cat back system
Ebay FMIC
Apex'i air filter
Koyo n-flo radiator
R33 skyline viscous fan
HKS evc-5 electronic boost controller

Chassis:
Driftworks CS2 coilovers
Driftworks 4 arm kit (f-castor, r-camber, r-toe, r-traction link)
300zx z32 rear brakes
F&R japspeed upper strut braces
Uprated front discs / pads (until winter when a set of 6pot k-sports will be going on)
Rota grid 17x9.5 et 12 with 5mm slip on spacers up front

There's other farty bits most of which are boring.

Oh and stickerzzzzzzz!!!! :)

Been doing a few bits over the last few nights.

Bargain Whiteline rear arb fitted



Also refitted my welder & changed some shagged rose joints in the DW arms.

Fitted the rear spats, poor light in pic. Better ones tomorrow when it's outside.



Refitted metal bonnet, trimmed & fitted smooth bumper.





Booked the ferry to go to santa pod in October too :D

Want to fit my hks evc 5 boost controller and buy new front tyres before October, otherwise she's ready :)

No pics of the 13, it looks sad. Rusty and 100% standard. Resto job.

Probably not. Well until I write the s14 off by getting friendly with walls. :)

Bought a roof rack to use as a boot rack. Turns out it fits the roof, winner!





Now I can carry extra tyres when I go away to skid.

Had some work to do in preparation for santa pod ont he 20th october.

Solid engine mounts (2.5 ice hockey pucks per side)



Fitted bigger front tyres (225/45/17 dunlop sport maxx and removed the slip on spacers for better clearance on lock)



Also had it 4 wheel aligned to a street / drift setup but its not snappy enough in the transitions for me so need to change it all again.

Some hard parking, lifestyler photos by my mate kyle :)







Rolling shot on the way down to pod.



Trying to run the fence all day but this is the closest i got....



No more action pics as new photobucket is crap!

Few jobs to do over winter, cant do as much as i want because i want to map the mk5 and get some wheels / coilovers for it.

Fully rebush, poly & solid bushes
More steering lock
More power (300hp would be nice :D )
Re-underseal, the shell is really clean but i dont want it to go bad.

One of the mk5 cos im a Pic whore :D
