Firstly, before anyone says it, yes i know, it needs slamming! Will be getting some HSDs to sort this out soon!
I've changed the CD player to a new one with iPod connection.
Next I need to replace the sterring wheel as it's quite worn and the horn doesn't work?! also need the airbag cancellation circuit to get rid of the airbag light on the dash. Then I can look at making other changes...

Benkei tell me you still have the supra?

If you want to sell the steering wheel I'd like first look as I'd love one! Any chance of a viewing?

I'm sure youl do somthing special with this! Good buy!

nice buy seems like agood base for a project
looking forward to seeing how this thread goes

It's nice, but a step down from the supra imho

this will be cheaper to mod than the supra...and easier to get bits for...and far more affordable stuff available....i see your reasons...this is a good start point...

just jack those rims

Yeh Spence, once I've found a replacement you can have this one...

It is a step down form the Supra, but that particular one was 'too modified'. Fast; yes. Fun; very. Thirsty... JESUS! I couldn't justify the amount of money spend on running it, and I couldn't afford any kind of modificatons or presonalisations for it. I decided to sell up and buy a car out right instead of paying off a loan. There's other things I want as well as a nice car, and the Supra was taking up all of my money, which left me without other things.
Plus I was too scared of dings and scratches on the Supe! This one already has a few scratches, and it's been to a few drift days (has a DWYB sticker covering a big scratch on the front bumper!) so I'm not too fussed about things like that. This is more for fun and enjoyment rather than looking spotless!

looking sweet, i think the s14s look sweet unkitted on a nice set of wheels dropped down nicely.

nice 14a you have mate. i know hows it feel to running the jza.

Good choice dude!

it looks pretty damn clean IMO. got some nice small/sublte mod's, which is all an s-body needs to make it fun as hell! Lowered more on the HSD's, ditch the bonnet risers, and maybe a change of wheels and i dont think i'd do anything else apart form drive it, any which way but straight

i got rid of mine because of the running costs, so i can't imagine how much the 2JZ was costing
regardless, everytime i drove it i had a smile on my face

sorry but

Yeh, I'm not sure on the raised bonnet. I actually don't mind the wheels though, going to keep them on the front, but put some nice deep-dished rims on the back

I found out that the previous owner has put some lights inside the front bumper which illuminate the intercooler when you put the lights on... Going to get these out! A bit too Fast and Furious for me!! *goes to check for under-car neons and a bottle of NOS*


Ned, stop hating or GTFO

Deffo a step down from Supra but you made a wise decision.

I will agree hence my DC2 front end is jus full of more chips.

[quote="benkei"][quote="Dave_t"]Good choice dude!

I was here before you son........
Wheels let it down big time

Yeh, there are chips and that on the S14, but I'm not really too bothered tbf... I think that's a good thing.

I like the wheels Ned...


So I removed the chav lights from the front bumper, now I no longer feel embarrased about driving at night... Also de-raised the bonnet. It feels like it's lost a feature, like shaving off some stylish facial hair... But I think it looks good without it.

nice ben

you know im gunna say this but drop it

nice wheels, they genuine AVS's? would look better silver imo thoiugh

need to check this out, you bringing it to the meet?

sorry







power move!

Yeh mate, getting some HSDs soon. I found some DriftWorks poly bushes in the boot too...

I don't think they're genuine AVS' unfortunately, but they will do for now while I decide what direction I'm going to take it...

I will be at the meet

looks clean as hell in the metal bud

you need to try that hydro brake out and let me know how it locks, one or both of my cables have gone again and if the hydro is any good il get one instead of fixing or upgrading the cable system

I gave the hydro a yank on the way home... Barely did anything to be honest... Next time I get a chance I'll be more aggressive with it and see if that helps... might work better for entering a corner...

I did some asking around on sxoc and apparently there 'a waste of time' on the oem s14 setup, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Meh... No worries, just something else to upgrade

Got some updates comming soon... One of which will greatly please you

So the first of my updates has been done... Just something small, but I think it helps give the car something more going on...

Front windscreen showing TOA decal, and a new Rising Sun decal top-centre...


Close up



The rear window now decaled up!



The stickers on the skirts



And the Tow Arrow



Next on the list, some much needed slammage!

Wheels? lol

Wheels I'm going to have to leave until after the coilovers... So may be a while!
