@marcus915: WHY DO I ALWAYS BUY MORE EXPENSIVE STUFF THAT I COULD'VE BOUGHT (a bit more) CHEAPER FROM YOU EARLIER ON. fuck sake.

S13 Part 1: Less is more.

It didnt take long for me to start working on this heap of junk. Ward, Skip and me started the day by taking a better look at the chassis if there were any signs of a bent frame or more rust underneath the car but gadly we didn't really find anything. I just don't want to start working on a car thats gonna make serious problems later on, even tho that might be a thing that I should've checked before I bought it. Atleast we did it now :P



The only thing that we did notice that the coils might be blown and theres just a bit of rust in the rear wheel wells (which is pretty normal). But lets just say both of these problems will be solved in the near future ;) We continued or day by removing interior stuff that I dont need for the complete build. The seats are pretty stinky and worn-out so they definitley had to go. Im gonna throw them into the trash straight away so I'm sorry for anyone that was interested in them but trust me, they weren't even good enough for a restauration or something in those lines.





We also started on the 5 lug conversion that I planned for this thing. The stuff that I bought for this swap consists of:

- OEM Z32 rear hubs and bearings for 160V$ (used)
- Ichiba S13 5-lug front hubs and bearings for 200V$ (used)
- New Brembo rotors front and rear (normally fit for Z32) for 90V$

We only ended up finishing up the rear since all of us had to do some stuff later that day but also because the Ichiba hubs didn't even come yet. Since I didn't even buy any wheels yet either I'm currently using the Koseis that are normally on my S14 (17 inch for reference). Also don't worry about the fitment.. That will be fixed in the future :3
