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.
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/16VWarby/e69bfcd5.jpg)
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.

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.

New moog ball joints
New McGill Motorsport heavy duty tension rod rose joints
Tein steering arms & ends (originals were getting tired at both ends)
DW lower arm poly bushes
Fitted my 2nd hand whiteline front arb waiting on new drop links

Rear end refurb is up next as I've a few bushes on the way out :)
At the last santa pod day my clutch slipped a bit so it was time to upgrade.
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/16VWarby/8C445E62-F297-419E-957D-C28C2D55B3D0-18486-0000098E99444EAD_zpsd5bd9316.jpg)
Old exedy organic, not overly worn and held fine on the road just slipped trying to skid 3rd.
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/16VWarby/4FCB2318-EDEA-40E6-B6A8-8D7DED14ADDB-18486-0000098EB08EC257_zpsb2b33942.jpg)
''Stage 4'' Competition Clutch kit, also had the flywheel skimmed.
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/16VWarby/3CF52A1A-386E-47CE-8C65-7483E60BDC3E-18486-0000098E928773F9_zps2fc8d8d2.jpg)
Apex Performance clutch line, removes the original clutch damper circuit. Made the clutch really heavy but shouldnt slip.
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/16VWarby/434001A9-9B2B-4E9D-A7D3-0774085142F1-18486-0000098E8D1F97C0_zpsb1414082.jpg)
Apex Performance gearbox mount
(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/16VWarby/1D1ACBEC-74F0-49F9-AC65-2CBB8C3BFCA6-18486-0000098E87C6DEA4_zps009f95e6.jpg)
Old one was tired.
I have also fitted my r33 skyline front brakes with ebc grooved discs and redstuff pads, though im probably going to change the redstuffs for something a bit better.
Thats about it until winter now, ordered the r33 handbrake cables and convesion hoses for my z32 / r33 rear brake setup so i'll fit them once the bits arrive and i need to change my driveshafts as both are crunching quite badly but ill do them when im doing the brakes :)
Few little updates: (was in a rush to get the old girl somewhere so ive been slack with the pics) :oops:
Decided to set to with my rear brake conversion, got part way through and decided to pull the whole subframe and fit the solid subframe bushes and diff bushes. Whilst there i welded washers into the subframe to remove the slots for factory adjustability as i have fully adjustable arms, pressed in the new ball joints for the lower arms (no bushes as yet due to the big rush) fitted driveshafts that don't crunch and half arsed painted the diff & subframe.

Blew a metal brake line when trying to bleed the rears so had to knock one up in a hurry, its not pretty but it works.
More pics will follow once ive got it back to the garage :D

Plenty of seat time and awesome twinning with my mate in his skyline.

Had an absolute blast, killed in excess of 40 tyres and was hungry for more. So we organised our own practice day for this weekend coming.
Also bought a new garrett gtx2863r, custom manifold and other bits but im running the stock turbo for this weekend. New turbo will be fitted and mapped early next year for more drifting, track days and a 3 day hill climb event :D :D
