Well kids, I took a break from the s chassis for a few years since my last s13 coupe. I picked up a 77 280z played with it for a while, some one offered me a really good deal for it, and let her go. So that brings me to this 95 s14 I picked up...

Well to start, its a 95 240zx base model, 4 lugs, 5 speed. Originally the car was burgandy, with black interior. It was all original except the previous owner had put some cheap rims on it. It only had 2 owners before me. Car runs great, except a lil grin goin into 2nd gear. Overall the car is in great shape, no rust.runs strong. Clean interior.no dash cracks.etc...

Now the previous owner also decided to have a cheap place repaint the car black... Which was his mistake. Clear coat was gone, painted around everything, etc... So I repainted the car satin black.proper. I also cleaned, then decided to dye the carpet black. Did all the general maitnence to the car, etc. Runs amazing.

Now my plans for the car, and what I have done so far...

I plan to stay with the ka motor, I love em! Were gonna rebuild the motor for boost. Nothing too crazy just a safe reliable, and great response. Looking to make around the 350whp range. Still working out the details on the build...

But more importantly before I start adding power, I redid all the suspension pieces and added a 1.5 way LSD. I installed function&form v2 coilovers. Love em so far. I went with the Isis 8 piece suspension ARM set. Great for the money! Only thing missing now is a nice set of sway bars...

Wheels I went with mb battles, (bronze)17x9.5 on all 4 corners, wrapped in nankang 235/40 tires .

And I installed a nismo 1.5 way LSD, now Aight this, I had a extra s13 dif laying around, so I used it with a greddy s14 cover. Advantages of this s13 case , solid mounts! Bolts right up,no more bushings.SOLID.

but that's all I got going on currently, starting the motor build this month...

Got aalloott of pics to post, but there on there way!

So far the coilovers been great, I bought them brand new for about half the retail cost. Thats what really sold me haha. I seen them around for a while and have only heard good things. But they have a nice solid ride, and plenty of adjustment.

Looking good man . I put a little over 200 miles on my S13 this weekend since I made it all legal . My new inner and out tie-rods will be here middle of the week and after that I need a full alignment . Would love to head down your way and make a trip up route 16 for some fun and photo opp .

That's what's up, I been driving this thing as much as possible, making sure everythings solid, and I measured all my arms to factory specs, but I def need to get a proper alignment done with it being all low and such ha. And yea I'm all about that, 16 is my playground ha. Theres a lot of nice places around here to cruise.

Well going to va beach for a month for work, so I won't see my car for a while! Boooo...

But I'm getting a good bonus for going, aka ill order all my parts for a boosted ka and they will be waiting on me when I get home! Muahahaha... And prob gonna start looking for a extra motor to start building up on the side, I'm gonna run the hell out of my factory ka in the car,see how much it can handle boosted, then have a nicely build motor waiting for its time to shine

...grrr. Why not buy the extra and build it perfectly while u can still drive the car? KAs only go for like $300. yeah its 300 bucks, but its kinda nice.

Oh and why not drive it to da Beach. sexxy car=sexxy dziewczÄ…t
