Picked up this s14, shit, probably three years ago now. Can I swear on here? Yolo
Here is how she looked the day I brought her home. Almost 100% stock and I always wondered why the hood was so faded but also strangely even.
Apparently I’m the second owner so that’s kind of neat I guess.
I did some maintenance which included new rubbers all around, brakes, and some tie rods so I didn’t feel like I was going to die while driving highway speeds.
This helped a ton, but unfortunately the itch to modify this gem began to grow. So much for “keeping it stock”
The first mod was a new steering wheel. Nardi gara 4 I believe paired with a works bell hub. Classy as fuck.
Of course I had to have a usdm kouki lip. surprisingly you can still get these bnib. Spent like 80 bucks on oem hardware as well.
So then I had to get the auto trans issue sorted. Went back and forth with this thinking I should keep it the way it was but ultimately who wants an auto 240sx.. not me.
Was able to source a full s14 dropout for $600 and ended up selling the motor for $300 and the b&m short shifter for $200 so I was basically into the trans for 100 bucks. Score.
Re sealed the trans with new gaskets and dropped in an exedy style clutch replacement and we were in business. I had my buddies at car shop d style do this work and was beyond stoked with the outcome. Would like to eventually get an oem transmission mount but I had the red brick laying around so I tossed it in.
