More Pics

Just thought I'd add some more pics:





I had gutted my rear interior, headliner, airbags, got rid of sound deadening, put a nice coat of black paint where the seats were. Couldn't paint the rest of the interior body with all the wire and harnesses going everywhere so I through back on the headliner, speaker cover, and rear panels. I'm considering putting just my back seats back in without all the excess metal: seatbelts, etc. but then when I put on those option videos with circuit cars, it makes me want to gut my car even more.

I also got one of those s14 ebay rear strut bars.



I painted my headliner black to hide all those bents i made while taking it out. It came out pretty nice. Makes me want some jdm s14 silvia seats to go with them.



I try to keep the interior pretty clean. I'm not a fan of leather seats, let alone light grey leather seats. If anybody wants to trade their CLEAN black clothe seats then i'm down for it. Light grey leather would look better in a gold 240 imo.

I like the weighted oem shifter better than some aftermarket shiftknobs and the screwdriver. Shifting feels more precise with a heavier ****.

If anybody has a OBDII S14 KA ECU and would like to sell it to me, I'd be glas to buy it. I've been having some cold start problems lately



Love my coil overs but I can't keep these clean. The numbers that measure the height rust off within a month, that's the only neg part i've discovered but then again, i suck at drifting and racing.



Generic ebay strut bar but it does its job. I don't plan on keeping it forever but I don't think I'm going to spend $200+ for a namebrand strut bar until after I get a diff, rims, seats, sr (or ka-t?), etc. Yeah.. stock intake. Of course the pink valve cover. Friends and I painted our valve covers pink and call ourselves the pinktops. You know the saying; we're all pink on the inside.

Damn bro, those GR-6's look way old already...

Question: do you daily drive the 6 puck? It's the unsprung disc right?

Yeah, I go out driving in the rain alot and the snow had just dried up a few days ago so theres some salt on it which makes it look worse than it is right now.

About the six puck unsprung disc, I do daily drive it. I dont know what the fuss is about, the plate does make a little more noise when pressing the clutch down from first gear and it does grab alot harder but you can still make it drive pretty smooth and it's nothing unbearable. The clutch can withstand a longer beating and theres no break in time too. The only bad thing is they won't last as long as a organic disc through daily driving but it seems pretty retarded proof and long lasting to me.

'The fuss' is because you can damage your tranny and drivetrain components since the 6-pucj doesn't have the springs to absorb some of the shock while engaging the clutch. That's why ACT labels it as "race only".

Just letting you know bro.

Yeah, I'm aware of that; that's given. I always put a bunch of post up about products before I buy things and learned all the cons and pros. I already got a reinforced pivot fork, I plan on getting a new driveshaft, SR20 swap which brings in a new tranny, ligthened flywheel, clips also come with a rear subframe, etc. My current tranny that was put in from an auto-manual swap has about 110k miles on it and makes a bunch of noise between 2800-3500 rpms. My swap was done on a tight budget so I have some less-than great parts in there that I don't want to preserve for years.

No I don't plan on geting these in the very near future but I know a lot of people who been daily driving their 6-puck clutches for years without any major problems.

It's given that alot of products labeled "race" are a bit harder on the car for daily driving. Coil overs put alot more stress on the chassis. Clutch type diffs eat away at tires.



I didn't just throw on parts for the hell of it.
