amazing s14 buildup
amazing s14 buildup
This is not my car, but i wanted to share, because the workmanship into the car is amazing and it may give people here some ideas. Don't mind the engine, it's stock in europe and he can't help it
This is an s14 buildup by someone from SXOC. he posted finished pics first but if u go thru the pages u will find progress pics... someone can compile them and link them here directly if people dont wanna shuffle through

With all the cool stuff on the car, Im quite disapointed with the simple suspension setup he went with. It seems like such a waste of time and money, I mean eventually he's going to hit something...and when he does hes custom work won't be so pretty anymore (really man..and S15 front end...). There really Is some fine craftsmanship in it, but I think its going to be sad when all the honda's with way less money put into them pass him.
I really like the rivets look though.

its not about bang for the buck, he wanted to build something unique for himself. Any ballsack can buy a crx, gut it, throw in a built b18, get some sticky tires and a suspension and go road race. but your still gonna be a ballsack.titanoh wrote:With all the cool stuff on the car, Im quite disapointed with the simple suspension setup he went with.

The dude built something unique, purpose built, and well engineered. People these days dont just appreciate things for how well they perform, its a lot about pride in ones work. Hes gonna take that car to tracks and have to push people away because they wanna examine every bit of it.
and the dude that passed him in the honda is still gonna be just another carp in the river

i dunno super low car and he wants some clearance? A lot of full build cars have fabricated tubs, I have them on my car. I mainly did them because I was replacing rusted metal in the engine bay anyway.silviaks2nr wrote:pretty sweet. but wtf...

Pretty decent looking car and it definitely caught my attention when looking at it, but upon further examination, I've really lost some respect for it and here's why....and I'm sure people are going to think I'm a jack@ss for this
If it's a track car...why not at least tube frame the front end and get rid of all that extra metal he added in the front. I would not be surprised if that thing weighed close to stock. And wtf is the deal with the press-board front splitter?! And the quarter inch side windows?! If it's a track car, you generally do not have windows period. And regardless, you don't need quarter inch lexan...Jesus Christ. He used such thick metal on parts that didn't require it. And what's the deal with the hundred different vents everywhere? Half of them are not even placed properly.
I am not very impressed with this build at all. If you are going to build a proper track only car and invest the thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours making this thing, I would at least do it the right way....not the way he did it.
Now don't get me wrong. This guy did wonders for body and metal work. I am not going to lie. He has some great fabrication skills and the ability to make something look clean and finished. But at the same time, he doesn't appear to be very experienced with proper chassis fabrication and prepping a car for the track. Would I drive it at the track? No. It's more of a show car to me than anything.
Just my thoughts. Props for all the effort though. As long as it's all his hopes and dream, hell...why not?

that car looks crazy and amazing i wish i had that type of money and time.
as life makes me older, i started to realize things that were important no longer are and things that i never thought of are now my priority, So with this my friends i say live life to the fullest and enjoy it, because if you live life stressing about the small things then you will never get to enjoy the great things.
also may god bless everyone =)

I wish i had the kind of disposible income to produce a track car that looked like that. Mines not gona be nearly that pretty.
He did a seemingly good job with the aero although im no expert.
Amazing custom body work, although i have to say he used wayyy to much bondo. I mean its a fvkin track car and hes prly got at least 30 pds of bondo on it..
Still havnt gone through the rest of the thread.
