cheers for replying about the knob, I actually bought one off fleabay which I think is pretty cool. Just a quick question though, how did you do the rim tape? is it actually tape or did you like pin stripe it??

It's actually tape, they come in approx 30cm pre curved strips (you get about 20+ of them) and you just have to carefully apply them. It is best to take the wheels off the car so you can lay them flat and match each strip up as you go. I haven't seen my car moving with them on (as I'm always inside it) so I can't say what they look like when it's rolling, but stood still, the effect is awesome

Here's some pictures I've taken recently whilst the weather's been good.












And a small Jap car meet I went to when the weather wasn't so good














Hope you like

Good job! Congratulations on the deal! It would look better, IMHO, if you paint the hood, and lip. The wheels look wayyy better. I recommend painting the wheel nuts.

I HATE the wheels in the last couple of pictures!

i like it, keep it up. Rims and stuff turned out very sharp.

Paint the wheel nuts? Or buy some lightweight anodized ones like these?



Yeah the S14a wheels are a bit hit and miss.

The wheels were looking great until some tool in a truck ran me off the road and drove off and caused me to scuff them

car looking well keep the good work up

Nothing interesting really, just trying to get some info on where to get parts from in the UK

It adds at least 5 bhp as well, lol.

Well, for fowljesse (as you like the beautiful locations).





And I bought some stuff and did some stuff.

8mm ignition silicone ignition leads:





A bit of cosmetics with some paint:



Some new plates:




Sprayed the centre console:


And fitted a new exhaust:





So sorry for whoring....

Lol, ran out of money for the month now. Future plans are to make a Cold Air Intake using custom silicone hoses and a cone filter, find some lowering springs (or coilovers), sort the front end out (new bumper and wing are needed!) and then source a turbo or even supercharger (I've heard an MX5 supercharger will go with a bit of tweaking).

I've just ordered a sexy new gear shifter gairtor you will be jealous of Sleele, carbon effect with blue stitching

I just cant get over the fact its rhd... if I ever hit it big Ild have to import one, who cares how many times you get passed if you can get out on the side walk
