My s13 DD. Lots of pictures.

I know you guys remember seeing that pile of shit Supra I tried trading for the longest time. Well last month, I finally found a kid who wanted it more than he did his coupe. Drove to Orlando, showed it to him, test drove it, then two days later when he got the title he drove to Tampa and sealed the deal. No cash involved, just sign and drive away.

This is going to be more of a log of all the shit that I do, rather than a build. No crazy plans for this car, just suspension, wheels, and a stock-ish SR swap down the road when the KA decides to shit.

Here's some info about the car:
1989 SE Coupe
Factory two tone
Blown rear struts on stock springs, Fronts were fine and on lowering springs. (Skittle status)
5 Speed dual cam KA (110k) 180k on chassis
S14 Se seats front and rear
No a/c or p/s (A/c is gone, p/s just needs a new pump)
15x8 zero offset 002s with mud truck tires


The day I got it.



Changed the oil, spark plugs and wires, and air filter that weekend.

One of the tires was barely holding air so I picked up some Sink specials and threw them on.


Radio surround was cracked to hell, so I just bombed this one, until I find a clean one.


Then I picked up some D2 RS coils for $400.


Traded the 002s to a friend of mine and scooped up some Falken Hanabis and dropped the coils.



The front needs to be lower, but I'm not dropping it until some of this construction clears up in Wesley Chapel. Shit is retarded.

I want my final car to look similar to this one.


I'm on my way. Next things to pick up are going to be my p/s pump, a/c components, Extended studs and spacers for the front, RUCAS and then go from there. I'll probably need tires by the time I get to that stage but we will see.

Any advice, suggestions, or opinions on what to do next would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Me gusta mucho.*
haha. But srsly, I love seafoam two tone. And I love white falken hanabis. This looks like win.

Thanks guys. I love the white wheels, but it sucks that they get dirty as shit within like 10 minutes of driving. I need ceramic pads, and to not live in a giant construction zone.

I'll more than likely I'll be keeping it this color too. It's called platinum blue metallic, although you can't really see the blue. I'll probably add blue pearl to it when I get around to painting it. That's not going to be for a LONG time though. It'll probably be one of the last things that I do.

Thanks guys. I love the white wheels, but it sucks that they get dirty as shit within like 10 minutes of driving.

people with nice things keep them nice, so keeping a legit set of wheels clean, shouldn't be an issue with regular washing and monthly detailing...

either way, bump for a two tone, will be lurking this thread....

[Petitt]

I feel ya man. I enjoy cleaning the car. It let's me find more shit the needs attention before something bad happens and I end up replacing a lot more than what I originally expected.

[rhart]

Congrats on the upgrade!! Keep us posted on your progress.

[Petitt]

Just threw on some extended studs and a spacer up front. Now I not rubbing coilover and I'm sitting kinda flush lol

[Petitt]

My car smells nice

[tr4c3]

Two-tone ftw. Makes me miss mine haha.

[DSMJeff]

nice!! keep up the good work. How do the D2 coils ride?

[Petitt]

They're nice. I have the fronts set at two turns out, or 12 clicks, and the rear is 6 clips out. I love them.
