This is my first post on Driftworks forum eeek

Here is my nissan 200sx s14a project, need this to be finished by june 2012 for Modified Nationals car show as my company CSMDESIGN sponsors the show and this needs to be on my stand

The car is undergoing some work done by myself:

Bodykit
Engine rebuild/cam

I bought the car completely standard, i have so far done the following:
HSD Coilovers
Carbonfiber Bonnet
FMIC
Apexi Full System
Apexi Filter
Rota GTR's

Dashboard out ready for flocking

 

Ordering a dual chamber downpipe tonight and fingers crossed the flocking kit comes tomoro with the heat wrap i ordered like 2 weeks ago :/

 

Dash was a nightmare for me too.

Pop out the stereo and heater button unit.

Drivers and passenger footwell there is a fixing point. around where the fuse and ECU covers are. think there 10mm,

Remove the clocks and reach under and push out the front screen blower panel, (thin strip that goes all the way across the dash) under that there is another fixing either side, ul need a long reach adapter and a rachet for this.

If i remember rightly you have to drop the steering rack down there are 2 bolts for this too. to allow clearance to remove the dash, on the left side of the centre console there is another 10mm fixing. you need to give it a good pull and it should come out

 

Thanks mate ill keep posting up piks, needs to be finished in Ooooooo 5 months i beleve. Initially its to promote my company but hoping to get practicing so i can take my drift licence. Just need somewhere to practice in yorkshire instead of the long trive to Santapod, any ideas?

 

Just purchased a new clutch kit on ebay £99.00 GET IN!! rated to 390Bhp should last me a few months

 

Thats my usual option but cops are getting pretty sneeky round here n its getting too risky. Need sumwhere where i cant loose my licence

 

Need some more practice and at higher speeds, and more space

 

Well the dash flocking kit turned up today after a week of waiting from FROST.co.uk Fingers crossed my efforts work out, ill post up pics once completed

 

Cheers, im going all out on this one, all the interior and cage is going pink, and all the exterior is going pink, had the colour specially mixed from a local paint supplier, should look good.
All the extras will be black, i.e dash flocking, seats, harness's wheels etc

 

Have you got a build thread i can check out ?

 

Well spent till 2 this morning with the missus working on the car (She's blonde fit and a hair dresser) so not the typa girl you would expect to be helping out on the car, but she's stripped out the rest of the car, cut out all the sound deadening stuff on the floor, and ive managed to get the engine steam cleaned and rocker top paint stripped ready for paint. ill upload pics later

 

Got my gf to give me a hand the other night she managed to remove most of the sound deadening on the floor
