East Coast Slider
 

Ok well since im fairly new i figured id start a build thread.

Its not much to look at but its a start and this east coast weather sucks for building cars without a garage to work in.

Anyways heres how i bought the car in august of 09'
Fairly stock with some Sportmax 501's and k sport coilovers

After acouple hours i picked up a pignose lip from my buddy and adjusted the coilovers

Then i purchased a generic egay 3" test pipe back (because my stock exhaust rotted through)

Around x-mas time i started a small collection over the winter

I hated always having to repaint my lip so i just got creative with it

Before I put the 002's on i painted them in my spare Apt room. Went white with purple bolts

Went to a local shop (EliteJDM) and picked up complete 5 lug setup and agency power strut mount spacers. Then locally picked up some clean s14 se alloys.
Now i just need to wait til the weather is nice to install them

Will keep everyone updated with install's/upgrades

S14 se's are beautiful on s13's, I just wish they were wider :/
