More bits and pieces

Got the car back at this time, so the mods started back up.

Put the JDM bar on, makes the car look so much more sleek and aggressive.





Bashed the dent out of the sump, then put a bash plate on to stop it happening again.



Nardi wheel and boss kit.




Back down low



The 9.5+15s just tuck in




But have epic camber



Ground clearance, what ground clearance



Random Pic at a car cruise a few days later


This was then the start of march

need more clearance ??? just bash it

The front guards on most cars have a lip that is at 90deg to the body as part of the manufacturing. So to stop that scrubbing simply bash it flat against the guard :D

A Pause on the Mod's

It was now start of '09. Around this time I put in My Whiteline swaybars, Profec B boost controller and whiteline pinapples. the car also went to the mechanic to get the rear guards rolled and have the intercooler pipe fixed.

It was then that my parents' car broke down. With this being the only spare car, it had to go through some "modification" to have them be able to drive it. The car was raised, stock seat back in and boost controller off.

Even though I couldn't do much to the car, that didn't stop me buying things for it.

JDM front bar, in the same colour as my carA full set of Uras NS-01's in 17x9.5+15 all round with semi slicks

This went on for a few weeks till my parents bought a new car and I could go back to modding

S14 Onevia's

Not sure what you would call it, s184, one14, or just s14 with a 180 front. Either way they like may conversions when done right they look great. but done wrong they look horrible.

As far as I know i have seen 2 in Australia. There may be more, but that's all I've seen pics of. When I started looking for a s14 this is something that I wanted to do down the track, especially if I ended up with a zenki.

Here are some of the better looking ones








Something I may still do if I crash mine

insperation

Around this time I saw a couple of pics that I guess crafted how i wanted my car to look. I was sick of nearly every s14 around NSW being either stock, riced up, or with a fake vertex kit and a set of bob jane special wheels


Style.
So one pic came up, just a s14 with the JDM front bar. it made the whole front look alot more aggressive, yet sleek. I didn't like how the ADM bar had all the holes in it, even worse with the high spec lip. the JDM bar made the front end alot less busy.



Low.
It just makes the car look so much better.
this pic doesn't really show it well, but you couldn't fit a 10cent coin standing up under the side skirt of this car. It is a personal import of a Aussie that was living in Japan. Showed me that Aussies can do it too.




Fitment.
I tried to do it on my 13, but it didn't turn out right because of the height. I wanted wheels out the guards and streach





So I basically decided that to begin with I wanted my car to have JDM factory plastic aero all round, scraping rail, and with tough wheel and tyre combo..........

Till I crash it and go widebody with a onevia conversion, but more on that later :D

The joys of a low car

Nom nom nom

Attempt at custom work

I needed somewhere to hold my oil pressure, oil temp and water temp gauge. Not wanting to mount them on the dash due to legalities, i tryed my hand at some custom work.

The finished product. A little dodgy but it does the job
