Alec's S14 Build

Post by ZenkiAlec »

I picked up this 1995 240 three years ago. It had 156 on the odometer and completely stock. There was some body damage, but overall it was pretty clean. The following is my VERY slow build. (Keep in mind I'm only 18; I don't have much to spend :( )

Image

I began modifying it before I knew anything about cars, indcluding a magnaflow muffler.

Image

I also did a short shifter, which I recommend doing if you haven't already.

Image

Unfortunately I rolled back with the door open and I bent it backwards on a basketball hoop. :cry:

Image

I replaced the OEM tails with some aftermarkets. Very cool imo!

Image

I finally gave in and invested in some megan coilovers. (It really needed a drop)
Still knowing nothing about cars, I also bought some terrible wheels, and then learned about stance and offset right after :evil:

Image

It looks great from the side though!

Image

After rebuilding the tranny and replacing the clutch (sorry, no photos) I decided to start prepping it for paint. I pulled a trunk from the 240 below and some doors from another.

Image

Here's what it looks like today. Pretty terrible, right?

Image

I just got some bulky spacers in the mail. I should of sold my wheels and bought wider ones, but that would've been too expensive :/

Image

Well, that's it for now. After I paint it, Imma start saving for an engine rebuild and a turbo!
