heres when i pretty much first got it. old shell, 89 rodknocked single cam.
swapped everything from a wrecked dual cam. cut dual cam car to pieces, stuffed into random dumpsters.

i actually liked that shell, just because it had power windows, no sunroof, and fancy map light thing. but oh well. the other side was pretty shitty. lotsa bondo in the quarter, so i just filled it somewhat and flat blacked the car out of just not caring.

this was somewhere after 5 lug coilovers and sr, but before cool wheels. borrowed enjuku mb's, and too tall of front tires. cant remember if i drove it like this or not. also note invidia exhaust that i totally miss.
[
also, just for nerdy trivia. thats the oem bumper off of the enjuku 13.4, whoop.
same time period, just s14 se's. switched to a dual cam bumper at some point
but ripped the lip off when super low mod came.

so then one day, i was doing something with the rear subframe, ended up breaking a captive bolt off inside the unibody, and got mad and smashed the side in with a prybar, and fist, and bought a new shell that weekend.
.
it didnt run, was a flood car (freshwater) and needed a new body harness. so i parked that car in one bay, and the old car in another, and swapped every single piece from one car to the other.




i sold the wheels while all this was going on, and ended up just having my pair of weapons and a pair of meshes. but this was after everything was swapped and new shell was driving around.

drove it like that for a little, put two more meshes on, didnt really care, just drove it.

tim, u wouldnt run some baller wheels on ur car?

tim, u wouldnt run some baller wheels on ur car?

Your idea of "baller" usually isnt really "baller" , sorry.



When you get to "baller" you'll know, it will involve something you custom ordered with your exact offset, they'll be 3 piece, and have something like HRE, CCW, etc attached to them.

Not some used 3 piece wheels, 5th owner, and should have been on a benz but you put them on your sport compact.

for some reason with this car, no exhaust ever sits right on it. everything came too far over to one side, like so.

which meant giving up my invidia also tried a 5zigen rocket, it didnt work either. oh well.
ended up selling all of them, and bought a blitz realize tt off epsteins brother.
5zigen fn's with pilot sport cups, borrowed for a little. pesteins brother now has these wheels.

i was kinda content with no aero, totally plain car, id also sold my s14 valances, and traded skirts with ca sean. but just had them sitting in the garage. this was also when epstein had his white coupe, and i loved that car, so i was cool with leaving it alone.

painted my valve cover to match my toolbox. dont have the awesome cusco bar anymore either, took it apart to be powdercoated and ruined it. got mad, threw it in the scrap pile.



then i came up on a set of s13 valances, so i got those, and also switched back to single cam front, switched coilovers with epstein. traded my 10 way jics, for his 5 way, because he insisted the 10 ways rode better, and i just didnt care.
got it painted, after driving around with a banana coupe front end for a month or so, no pics of that, but heres right before going in the booth.




2 days after paint.


sold all those wheels, bought epsteins r32 wheels.

[Blackzenki82]

LOL, tim ladens build thread...

[osama tim laden]

bought a cool steering wheel, and sold the old falling apart momo i had.



this was on epsteins old wheels, 17x8.5 front, 17x9 rear, 225 -45 and 245 -40 pilot sport cups. i hate staggered wheels and tires, but the tires drove rad for an autocross. even though the fronts are ugly.

finally fixed the black pinstripe, and bought chris's rear wheels, and 2 new 17x9 +22's. drove around on 235-40's for a little bit, just switched to 245-40 kdw's. and theyre awesome. car drives totally different now.




just did some other stuff. switched some engine stuff around, painted the intercooler black to look less ricey, and this week im doing new pads and superblue.

what else would you like to know?

[Z28ricer]

What offset were the 8.5's ?

[osama tim laden]

i can go take a pic of it in my garage on one jackstand about to tip over if youd like. just let me know.

all in all, my car isnt some super awesome LEGIT car.
its mostly all oem stuff, nothing too fancy or flashy.
but, unlike a lot of you chuds, ive only broken the car once. and it was my fault for pushing too hard on stuff i knew was broken.
and, ive driven it probably over 70k miles, and never once had more apart than a valve cover or oil pan.
and ill be driving another 2000 miles in 4 days coming up too, without any hesitation or doubt that ill make it just fine.
