Where did you get the front Silvia logo??

Joel07date not saved · #4

Now THAT is how I want the I/C to fit on my car. No hacking up the front bumper, just fits nicely... I like...

I almost bought some signal stickers like that from Kazuya Bai last weekendm, i feel that the more stickers i get the more sideways i will be able to go, i ordered some Project mU ones today when i ordered my D1 Spec rear pads. Got some toyo ones some CAPA ones and the oz drift koala (it's a rip off of the URAS punched out cat) on the weekend too. Yay for stickers!!
Nice car to by the way.

Nice looking ride.

Coupla questions. What are the dimensions of that IC and are those stock rearwheels? The pattern looks the same, but they look all deepdishy.

Looks like the S14 item off the front bonnet.

Luv the look of the car too! Very drift spec :hitit:

The car was previuosly owned by Cesar, I bought off from him almost a year ago. Its a real nice fast car,but am working on making it faster and lookin better, I hope.

Taking the parkers out actually looks quite good to, does it look odd when the headlights are popped up tho? Do you take it out drifting much and what kind of suspension setup do you have?

Drifter SXdate not saved · #10

The lights dont look that bad when they are poped out, they have a normal look and I really like the way they look with the cut out I made for the parking lights. About the drifting I take it out about once a week to a dry lake thats near my house. The suspension is th one that came with the car, it has ground control lowering springs and tokico shocks, hte sway bars are aftermarket but I dont knkow the brand. Am planing to upgrade the suspension to coilovers, actually a shop called Signal Auto are gonna custom make it for me. I have plans to upgrade the SR20 and interior, I will take time though.

Nebuchernezzerdate not saved · #11

cool, i know of signal auto, watched their works drifter drive last weekend and got his signature on my signal t shirt etc :D
I'm mostly looking at suspension mods on my car, i have coilovers up front and k-mac springs and koni shocks on the rear but i want a stiffer rear end. I also made castor rods which helps heaps. I don't get to practice as often as you though :(, 2 weeks until the next practice on a figure 8 skidpan, even longer between track practices to :'( but hopefully that will change as the sport takes off more.

The "Silvia" badge on the front came with the car when I bought it, as many of you know from Cesar. The other logo's on the side windows and doors were also included, when I purchased the car. The bonnet in the front is an original s-14 badge. About the rims they are Auto Bahn's 15x7.5 all around, the lug pattern is the stock one. They are going to be replaced by 5 lug pattern hub and problaby some Meister S1 wheels.

If you are having custom coilovers made for the S12 i hope those are made available to all of us other S12 owners.

Drifter SXdate not saved · #14

I'll ask but I dont think you'll like the price, its about $2,000 to $2,500 dollars. And mine have to be made first, that's gonna take 2 or 3 months.

ahoffman83date not saved · #15

Well any aftermarket support for our cars is better than none high price tag or not. So it's worth a shot.

If I had that much to spend on coilovers then i would have got something awesome. TEIN height and damper adjustable with a nice soft setting for street/track use with in car adjustability plus with change leftover for incar adjustable rear sway bar.

But hey.... thats just me :lick:
