    Hi guys, I recently picked this little beaut up after selling my boosted mx5. New to the s14 so don't really know much about them but don't plan on doing much to the engine other than, FMIC, bigger turbo etc etc. I decided on an s14 after giving up looking for a clean s13. I'm getting more and more into the drift scene so this is a perfect car for me to use. Although I won't be using this yet as i'm not that good lol.

    As you can see its completely standard so i'll be doing the usual, coilies, exhaust, alloys. Its also totally rust free and I plan on keeping it that way ;)

    yeah it is a nice blank canvas for me, only real plans are to swap the suspension for coilovers, two are an MOT advisory anyway, shotgun exhaust, decent wheels (thinking of r33 gtr alloys) and touring skirts. Also FMIC to tidy up the engine bay, remove egr and canister. Have bought some shiney nuts and washers for the engine and bay to add a bit of colour to the pretty much dull theme under the bonnet.

    It needs to be undersealed as its now solid underneath as it needed welding for the MOT but all is well. only needed the passengers side corner of the sill welding which I was pleasantly surprised with seeing as its the UK model and has been stood for a while.

    Nothing much has happened as yet. Here's how she looks at the moment.

    Just waiting for monies to get 2 more alloys, roof spoiler, stainless steel elbow and manifold then have it rolling roaded just to see what she's making. Then weld the diff for skids ;-)
