Now if you're really gangster you'll drive around like that

my friend drove around without a hood, fenders or a front bumper when he drove to Fremont (30 mins, mostly freeway) to get his JDM front conversion done a while back

I finally found all the interior pieces I need, so I installed them over the last few days.



The battery tray is one of my favorite things about the engine bay.

You definitely need some better tires if you are going to be autoxing often.

It was the end of the day and I was playing around, my tires had already thrown in the towl, the belts are showing. I'm running the Hankook Ventus Evo 12, a compromise for daily driving and the occasional event.

I need to install some upgraded sway bars as well as LCAs, it would help with the chassis roll. Another factor that made it want to slide is that I REALLY need to dial down my spring rate in the rear, it's much to firm.

You have the only thread I would read completely. The car looks amazing! I love the 240's a lot, but I have my eyes on a 300zx. Great job man, everything sounds and looks great!

A bigger hair dryer!





It's a Garrett GT2871R with a .86 back housing. Good for around 400whp. I'll be losing some bottom end, but the top end will pull like a madman.

KD, your car would fit right in over here.

One of my soldiers just bought an S14, but it's a POS.
