Thought it might be about time I started a thread. My car started it's life as an automatic JDM Spec S. Now after a lot of work (by previous owners :D ) it has an engine and manual transmission from an S14, a tight LSD and all the rigidity of a Spec R (hence the simple little mods I've done to it in the passed week. See below)

Anyway, pictures speak louder than words:














In the passed week I debadged the car and removed the rear windscreen wiper to give it a cleaner look, and because I got tired of explaining that it is a "Spec S with a front mount intercooler because it has had an engine transplant" to douches:

Ahhh yep. Also on that list should be removing the remnants of the AC unit. Previous owner ripped it out but some lines are still there.

I actually got mocked by one dude. Called me an idiot for putting an intercooler on an N/A car.

I shook my head and left karma to get him.

Got a sample of 3M di-noc carbon fiber imitation vinyl with a magazine a while ago so I put it to use:

I'm not normally a fan of that kit but I like it on yours for some reason :) Needs to go a little lower if you have adjustable coilovers to make it that little bit more special :)
