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
Sportmax 002's/Sr intercooler kit/silvia grill/headlight brackets



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






Then installed them with some fresh rubber just in time for a local car show
(my buddy's sil front coupe that is now 2 tone beside me)





Picked up recaro bucket and rjs 5 pt. harness




In march I sold the 002's to a local and bought some 17x9.5 Rota p45r's from my buddy and threw em on




I started getting more into restoring my car so i started tackling some common east coast 240 rust

Driver side strut tower
Before with everything ground down and cut out-



After-



Passenger side all cleaned up and undercoated



Doing it PA style in the rents driveway in the rain



Acouple weeks ago i purchased a prosport water temp and volts gauge.



So Saturday I sold my Rotas and put the factory se's back on
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 :/
