  • Simple S14 Build

    So I've had my S14 since October 2014. I sold a sort of nice Acura Integra to get it. Hondas are pretty boring imo. The S14 in the back is the main reason I got mine.

    Heres a few hours after I got it. The paint was peeling and it smoked after sitting at idle for a little bit, but I finally got an unmolested 240. The interior and engine bay were really clean too.

    Then I started to save up, and ended up ordering coilovers, bought a 5spd swap, and some toe/camber arms from a friend. Also came up on the best deal on some Weds Cerberus I.

    Ended up saving again and waiting til spring break to get my 5spd stuff put in. Spring break came around and got everything put in. The 1st transmission I bought ended up being toast, and I ended up buying another one in Memphis.

    The above picture is of the car before putting the manual in, but lowered all the way down.
    And the one under is finished, I ended up raising it up some, due to being a pizza delivery driver.

    Heres the all gold everything setup. Isis toe/camber arms. Kei office coilovers with swift springs. 9k/8k. Also I got my buddyclub seat from my integra in as well.

    And again, this is most likely the direction I'm headed in with mine.

            @FunfGang, quality parts are key.
            @BeemDub, hopefully it will look as good as I plan.
            @slamburglar, I want to start drifting, but I'm going to have to buy a daily first
            @Motoman325, Nah, I'm Raymond.

            Thanks guys for the love. Look for it at SoWo. Not many updates until around that timeframe.

                Love the s14, this thing looks like it has serious potential! Also, good on you for getting the manual swap out of the way at the onset. Can't wait to see where this goes man

                  Thanks guys, the 5spd swap had to be done before anything. It feels way better, and I would definitely recommend an S14 to anybody. Very fun cars, and the ability to get parts for cheap is the best part.

                      Some updates, a little less than a week before SoWo

                      Got some crown vic mesh wheels, since I sold the other pair of Weds, had some wheels lined up, but they sold.

                      Also, thanks to Chris Foreman. My front wheels are now, 17x10.

                      And got some ganador reps, the real ones are too pricey

                      I'll probably update a day before SoWo, when I have everything dialed in and packed up.

                            Sowo was really fun, despite the few folks that could not handle themselves.
