Nice car!
Looks like your left side door is off of another car or something - it's a different paint color. You got an accident history with your car, right? |

Oh, then probably not. I just remember that someone had a white Kouki with tinted lights & banged door.
Added 28 seconds later: How's the rust on it anyway? |

Really? that must have sucked! and the rust isnt too bad luckily, has a small patch behind the rear bumper but apart from that its completely clean, very lucky with it!
EDIT: quick update, but the S14 is now registered thanks to Harrison, plates came through this evening This post was edited by SyX_FuRy (2016-02-24 00:17, ago) |

*Insert the most insane modification ever here*
But in short I wanted to clean the engine bay up, so I gave the siding's a clean and also got rid of the crappy cracked black from the rocker cover replaced with a nice bright purple colour. The paint cost me $50 for the two cans I purchased. |

had my first run in with the police today, and it didnt quite go as i wished.... apparently coming out of a car park i "scrapped spitting sparks" and "put other road users at risk" and he also claimed my plate wasn't illuminated enough for night use. The result of these two claims, $400 for the "scrapping" and a warning for the number plate lighting.
Ended up lucky too, been using the wrong plates by mistake, found out today and put the insured ones on, about 4 hours before being pulled over..... |

Massive Update**
So basically i havent been updating this thread as much as i would like because i got my phone stolen the day after the last update post, meaning i could post about what was getting done to the car and by that i mean ALOT has been done. Since the post, ive now got the rest of the bodykit bought, primed the front fenders and also replaced the stock hood with an aftermarket one, improving the look of the whole car. All of this together has cost me $2400, not cheap but whats done is done! really starting to like how the car is coming along. |

so all last night, i was talking to someone over at driftworks in the UK, and we ended up on the topic of drift missiles. so we were talking and then he mentioned about them having an rx7 over here that was for sale in missile condition, and popped the question of asking if I was intrested in buying it. The obvious answer, YES! This is the current picture ive got of the car, going to pick it up tomorrow and pay $3100 cash in hand on the day.The sepcs list is as followed:
13B turbo (HKS T04S) on 1.5 bar of boost= 453bhp and unknown torque drfitworks running gear with driftworks fully adjustable coilovers and camber plates brembo 310mm disks with brembo 4 pot calipers twin pipe exit straight pipe with full catalytic converter delete bride zeta III drivers seat, standard passengers standard wheels with 215/40/R16 tyres Theres alot more to the car but I can name it off the top of my head, all in all a pretty good deal! |

so a BIG update here. The rx7 deal fell through, the car was nothing like it was in the pictures, the motor ran well but that was all I was happy with so I turned down the offer, I know I wanted a beater but this as too beat for my liking. However I didnt plan on this happening. Was on my way to work and walked past this on the street just down from my residence. Its a 98' Jzx100 with 80,000 miles on the shell, with a motor swapped in (N/A 2jz) with 50,000 on it. Spoke to the owner about specs. the suspension which he fitted HKS Hypermax III's to get the ride height he was hoping and he also stripped the interior, installed a hydro and fitted some bride seats and harnesses for when he had a small amount of time on track. The selling price was at $6000 firm but I managed to wrangle him down to $5500, which I took to him cash in hand that day after work. So yea, Im now the owner of a JZX100 lol

So i got bored of the JZX and how she looked, so i dropped the coils down a little bit more to what they were. Ive now also received the wheels i ordered from Up garage, a set of Work emotion XD7's in chrome finish with Toyo R888's wrapped on them, slapped them straight on the car and i must say i think they are perfect for this car, although im rubbing ever so slightly as it sits now. also managed to pick up this carbon hood with hood locks for cheap too as it was no long wanted by the owner. overall cost for these goodies totalled to $1100.
