View Full Version : zenki s14 project
picked this up a few months back and have been tipping away at it since ive gotten it, went to view it not expecting much but ended up having an impressive spec list
when i bought it it was a mess huge hovercraft skirts which were moulded on in around the doors, the front bumper was stuffed with what seemed to be the fluff from a blanket, the boot had surface rust and the paint was about 10 different shades of white where previous owner had rattle can painted it every where, and the indicators were a cut up child's toy wrapped with indicator tape
im the third owner in ireland the previous guy had it 4 years and only put 5000kms on it
so as it stands now

No joy at the min man might have to go down the majic aero route what about you?
Was it long since u had it any pics by any chance car has very good power in it
i had that about 8 years ago i reckon, put bigger injectors, turbo, z32, power fc, basically i bought it standard apart from r32 gtr wheels, navan kit and a kazz 2 way it didnt even have a gear knob when i got it.
i was hoping it didnt get broken like a lot of stuff thats been around for a while glad to still its still in one piece.
i did get a full spray done on it and put a full uras kit on it even after i told the lad that did it not to he still moulded everything in never wanted it done.

i like the way you went to navan spoiler, marmite spoiler not many people like i of which like them. the front bumper lets it down i think it needs a lower bumper or a heck of alot lower to pull it off. nice transformation now though dude you made the car good again!
Different front bumper and some lows and its perfect :) good turnaround from when ya first got it though!

Yea I agree the front boer isn't the best but I cannot get my hands on a Navan bumper, it's hard to photograph the front to look nice but in person it looks quite good, as soon as one comes available ill buy it,
It's a different car completely now though there was a lot of stuff to be put right on it like the moulded in skirts ha,

Thanks man sure might meet union sligo one of the days get a few photos
Couldn't agree with you more and it will be done but progress will be slow now as I'm back to college, this car is a keeper now I reckon haven't settled on a car in a while now and I hope to keep this :)

Pity you didn't hold onto the Navan kit ha could use it now could u pm me who mapped the car and what power did it make? It pulls like a train someone has removed the 2 way since u had it the diff in it now has a Mind of its own ha likes to one wheel so that shall be sorted ASAP
The paint was in bad shape when I got it chap had rattle canned it everywhere ha some clown, but its been brought back to a former glory now
Different front bumper and some lows and its perfect :) good turnaround from when ya first got it though!
Cheers mate :)
Shitty phone pic but got the front wheels on finally was waiting ages for spacers the diff is out getting welded for a drift day next weekend Navan spats and may have a Navan bumper are next on the list
