***ALL COPIED FROM SXOC***
Hi all! I'm Jay and thought I'd get a project up of my Emerald Green 200sx S14a. I bought the car from a member on here and it is a real credit to its previous owners. I've always loved the S14a and after selling my Evo to buy my first house, I was finally in the market for one!
Pic whore my old Evo:
I made the long 5 hour journey up to Scotland to pick her up, the brief spec so far is:
- S15 turbo
- 555 injectors
- PFC with hand commander
- Apexi filter
- 3" turbo back exhaust
- Apex coilovers
- Ultralite Nurburgring 18" x 8.5" wheels
- Ksport buckets with Luke harnesses
- Half cage
I have big plans for the car and love it so far. Here's some snaps I took earlier after a good clean. Thanks for looking :sxoc:

Thanks lads! Yeh it's a good spec to start with as I can't afford to spend loads of cash anymore! Plans are different wheels, Recaros, bigger turbo and more power and just enjoy it!!

Are you going down the silly Bodykit route?
Looks a good starting point as it is though, do quite like this shade of Green too...

Update:
So when I bought the car, the front wings we very rusty:
I agreed a pair of Chargespeed wings from the seller so this weekend, we fitted them up. Gave them a lick of satin black, job done! Just need some wheels to fill them now lol
...and a few randow shots with Sean-B's Sbod. Finally got round to using the pit in the house I bought too! Sooooo useful:

What's the crack with not painting the front wings? Looks shit, they don't look to fit too well either.

I did think this but to be fair, I just wanted to copy Sean.

So had a few things going on recently. I saved my Defi boost and oil temp gauges from when I sold my Evo and finally got round to fitting them. The old owner had fitted 3 Prosport gauges on the dash which I've now removed. Also had a tidy up in the centre console by installing the AVCR, Wideband and Defi controller. Also installed some red led's in the instrument cluster to match the Defi's. Was hard to a decent pic but here we go:
I also bought these:
Always knew I wanted the style on a stock body so went for the 18" x 9.5" ET26. I fitted up my 225/40/18 Eagle F1's and started tinkering with the fitment. I planned on running then around ET3 ish with spacers so got two sets of 20mm hubcentrics with a few slip on spacers. Then, I whipped the arch roller out:
Unfortunately, the rear arches have had some heavy filler repairs and they have cracked under the roll. So I've had to flat a lot of it back and tack weld for now
Fitment so far:
After much consideration, I think I'm going to have to go down the overfender route. Because of the offset and width, I think 20mm-30mm will be the best option because I would like to stay on stock bodywork. Any more advice on this is appreciated.
Finally, got my private reg on!!

Standard quarters look chogged with filler anyway I'd just cut them away abit to give more clearance then fit some over fenders

Can tell it's had work on rear quarters but the dodgy paint job on them.
Looks great though, plate makes it look mch more agressive somehow

Cheers lads. Yeh it's one of them. Didn't think it'd turn out like this but I didn't know that the arches had so much filler work.
Never mind, nothing me and the lads can't sort
