Alex L. Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Let me know if you need any parts or fabrication/welding for the build. Always wanted to build an S14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 They just cut a hole and stuck it there? Lawds. i know right? "Hey. this looks like a great place to put the turbo timer!!!!. Lets cut a hole!!!" More like, lets go on zilvia.net and see what others do... There are so many good places to put the HKS turbo timer... the door panel not being one of them.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Blockbuster is gonna be pissed when you return it . Looks like a nice start but you have allot of work to do to get it looking good I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 NICE!!! Not sure what your thoughts are, but I am a big fan of the black roof/pillar 2 tone look. I have been tossing around doing that to the MR2. Looks like a ton of fun. -Crossle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Just cover your newly made panel with carbon fiber wrap for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrsplat Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 it feels like sandpaper, ha if youre going to use it as a drift car, just vinyl wrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Just cover your newly made panel with carbon fiber wrap for now. Really wouldn't be a bad idea and it wouldn't look half bad or to expensive. Cue sponser? I know someone was doing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Please don't let whoever worked on that last one you had touch this one. Word up, it was actually a collaboration of two shops, might have been the problem). I didnt know you were on here, bored at OD? I'm back on there again. I have to say. I stopped at IPS last night. They seem to have their shit together. I'm going to have them do a couple little things to the car next week (until i can get tools to our garage space downtown). But yeah, IPS impressed me.

DavidBaustert Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Good plan. That KA-T s14 was nasty. Looks like they assembled it with diode grease and dirt. Good luck with this one. Should be nice when it's all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
