Blackzenki's back in black, round 3....
well guys, it's finally arrived!!!! i picked it up yesterday, and i've already cracking on the werkz...
i'm sure if you've been following the build thread of my gold car, you've heard about this one. the aftermarket parts from the gold car will be stripped, and put on the new chassis, and the gold car, reverted to stock and sold. Either way some of you are anticipating the photos of the new car.. well without further adieu... the pics
Auto for now... lucky enough, my SR is a 5 speed muahahahaha
well now that we've established that i've got a PERFECT base to start a nice clean project, unlike the the POS gold car... it's time to do work.... 2 day of ownership, and it's time to get rid of that 4X4 ride....
gold car getting stripped... sorry girl...
new S14's brembos, and STOCK everything else, just the way i wanted it...
time to get low...
switches and *****es.... stock ride on the right, coils on the left, good lean though....
and the new car is nice and low... clean... lean... and KA auto FAIL!!!!!
ye-yeh-YEAH-AHHHH!!!
who wants to go mudding?!?!?!?!
Clawhammer says "i tell you whu-wat, that thur needz sum of dem er boggers mang"
couple nice shots of differences..
gold car with OEM springs...
new S14 with coils....
done for the day.... night girl!!!
not bad for D-Day +1....

well, me being the pic ***** that i am.... i took a few more shots....
the quintessential engine bay shot.... pretty damn clean, even for a 1996.... KA FAIL... even worse is the auto transmission....
SEE THE FURY OF POWA BRAKE KA BURNOUTS!!!!!!!
my dog George, my ridin' buddy repping the scene...
two shots to show i clean the body is...
fat ***.... got my Silvia trunk on there, OEM spoilers FAIL
reflectionz.... me George, and the old S14, i can brush my teeth in this paint...
that's pretty much it... more to come when i swap the diffs, and open the one to see what's inside...

well got bored... so i decided i would tinker just a bit... since i can't pull my motor yet, and did about the only non mechanical thing i could think of... i went and painted my pearl white Silvia grille black... (as many of you know, i post pics like crazy, from the big stuff to the little stuff, not BS like oil changes tho lol)
so on with the pics..
the beginning... stripped, and ready for sanding...
primed, and first coat of black...
3 coats of clear...
re double sided taping the chrome tabs....
ready for reassembly...
DONE!!!
final photos of install....
that missing fog light tab on the passenger side bothers me to no end...
not a bad grille for $18 shipped......
and i forgot about some parts i got, will install these when i swap motors..
GReddy GREX oil filter relocation kit (going to mount on lower bay frame rail, and a large size NRG Oil Catch Can, to replace my small Circuit Sports can.. both a little dirty, but i'll clean em prior to install....
up next, i think i'll go ahead and pull the VLSD/LSD out of the gold car, crack it open, and see exactly what diff it is (act's like a 1.5 way, but was told it was a VLSD, no orange sticker, minor clunking at low speed turns), so bout to find out about that... i'll see if i can get to it before it rains....

old car is getting sold, with motor hopefully, unless i can get enough out of parting it out..
the relocation kit is to make the filter easier to access, cause the factory location is up under the intake plenum, almost the same location as a KA, and can be a ***** to get to.. most people run the relocation up top, for a upper bay filter, and so you can see it... me, i'm mountig my low, so i can easily remove it when i'm under the car, draining the oil...
