Rotary_tech's 96 S14 SE named "Karma"

Hey ppl...So this'll be the start-up of my project log on my "A long time coming" S14, aptly named "Karma" I named her Karma because of the years I spent watching my friends from the passenger seat get better and better, while I dish out oodles of dollars to unforeseen circumstances, and constant self-sacrifice, waiting for the chance to get back behind the wheel...With this car though, I plan on taking a different route in mod choices. Back in the day I was childish, and all I wanted were parts to make my car go faster. None of them could turn, or stop very well, and when I got into my accident with my RX-7, my racing seat saved my life. Which made me realize that safety should come first...

So here we go...

Say hello Karma...

I've done some subtle mods to the car so far. Nothing too big, again...mostly safety stuff.

I opted for some yellow headlight bulbs for better clarity, contrast, glare differentiation, and so deer don't get blind and stand there.....oh yeah and they look BADASS!!!

I did the high-beams too

I'm gonna need to do somethin about this soon...my resonator is breaking apart from excessive back-pressure, and body flex.

I've also flushed out the brake fluid for ATE Super Blue racing fluid.

Soon to come mods are some Tokicko Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks, with Eibach springs. I'm gonna have to get a cat-back soon, cuz that exhaust leak makes me cringe. Z32 full brake swap.

i think it is...i heard it was called Midnight Blue or something...the engine bay and door panels are the same color, I have all the records on the car too, and there was no receipt for any body work.

The S14 looks a good base. Good choice of direction for the mods, seems as though it is soon to brake and steer better.

I also lowered it on some Eibach Pro-Kit springs and some Tokicko and KYB shocks. I can't go coil-over cuz most of them are too stiff for my style of driving.
