    no updates really so heres a picture of me doing a wheelie on my new bicycle to keep this thread intense

    [​IMG]

    took it out on saturday for a casual drive so had to put some wheels on....:wack:

    [​IMG]

    the o/s/f wheel has rubbed through the arch so it was eating my front tyre so thats great.

    the new driftworks harness is in its box because getting in the back with these brides is a pain in the arse plus the sound system is so shit a nokia 3310 could play a tune better.

    lack of funds means the sounds cant be sorted, cba to take the front wheel off to weld the arch up and the seatbelt...well the girlfriend is the only one who really sits in it so all the best ha!

    might try and give it some love this weekend and get the shiny rocker cover on, the seatbelt in and get the welding man round to work his magic.

    so its been a while since last time.

    in the mean time ive been dicking around with this which i got so cheap it was unreal. the standard coilovers welded diff and wheels were put on it, thrashed at King Of The Ring then sold to a certain guy called Ricky Emery....

    So after that went i spent money on being lifestyler and got a full kouki kit, grill and flashers because tbh, i think the subtle factory look is better than all the body kit shit unless you go all out and turn it into a weapon which this isnt...

    Also "borrowed" a fan of a tracotr, machined it all up so it would fit on the original viscous fan boss and changed the belts and put light weight pulleys on. no pictures of the pulleys as you all know what that shit looks like but this is the fan compared to the stock one. FAN TASTIC ha ha ha .......

    But yea did a drift day at Snetterton n the third of november.
    Car performed all day unlike my driving which lacked at some points hence why its all muddy.

    That's a stainless elbow? Mine did that not so long ago, but got to it before it completely snapped lol. Always consider Japspeed products as disposable haha

    ha yea im not sure if i true but i think the japspeed products are just the same as the ebay ones with their name printed on it? but might just be me.

    Anyway got all the snapping shit sorted so cars working again. Got my new wheels in the post. First set of brand new wheels ive ever owned!

    Rota RKRs in 17x9.5 and an ambitious -10 e.t . Needless to say the fronts were never going to fit. They spokes wont clear the standard caliper and this is them with a spacer to get them to fit...

    rears are fine as i have a pull so with tyres they would be fine

    so now im not sure whether to sell them, get wider front wings, or get the rivet on bubble styleee arches the black ones that your japanese and living in the 90s.

    Decisions.

    So gone from a reasonable good looking S14a to a fucking ropey shit one. How does that Drake song go?

    "started from the bottom now were here".........

    That looked so nice on the GTRs all kitted up, I hate to say I'm not a fan of the new guise.
    What are the specs/offsets of the GTRs? I know theyre overplayed but I love em and I want some for my 14a in the next few months.

    Cheers buddy. It did look good but all you see is kitted 14a's and i want to make it more my car. I got told they were 18x10s but i think they were 9.5s with 35 offset and with 20 and 25mm spacers with 225/45/18s
