Thought i best start a build thread on my latest project. I have been kicking about on here for a few years or so,
have had a few rwd shitters to learn in, volvo,s and couple of bimmers then went on to s-bodys.
This was my first one i paid £1000 for it but it was abit shit and sacked it off
Then i bought this one and was the best car i had owned was well speced as well, loved it
but then had a run in with a black taxi typical taxi driver
not streeto lol
Now this is my latest project 200sx s14 in wonderful faded red with an auto box. completly standard with a japspeed exhaust and some gay wheels
i bought it spares or repair on ebay last april for cheaps. bottom end was knocking and was sat in a barn for 5 years
but i was up for a challenge and wanted a car i can use to drift and give it shit and not worry about it taking a beating. the plan was to build it as cheap as possible and try to fabricate what i can inhouse and keep costs down
some of the pictures might not be in order
So me and my old man went to collect it and on the way back we had a blow out on the trailer on the M6 which was a bummer because we didnt have the spare wheel
Thank god i had AA cover other wise would have cost a bomb to get recovered off the motorway
anyway got it back to the garage here,s some pics
First off was to get it on the ramp and give it the once over
this came out of the fuel filter haha
Next i made a pikey spec decat pipe with 3 inch stainless pipe its not pretty but it doesn't leak. cost £0
made a start on stripping the interior out
and then on to the dreaded sound deadning removal,so out came the hammer and chisel.
dry ice was a no go because i couldn't get it anywhere but got some freeze spray from the motor factors that sort of worked freezing it but was a slow process
I then fitted some apex street/drift coilovers that i had stashed away from my old 14a
i didnt take any pics tho
Then came the time to rip the engine out as the bottom end was knocking, my buddy Steve popped up to the workshop and ended up getting roped into giving me a hand
