Thinking of going full OEM Aero alright, hard to know as the rear looks well with that kit bumper and front did also before the bumper died!

Haha who had it, clip clap has me killed on google, fair amount of combos :laugh:

Right well plan formed i think!

As most of you will know i run Driftbits on facebook, so with access to a heap of S14 Kits we will be going making this into a mobile advertising board really!

Front Bumper will be Origin Streamline

Side skirts either Vertex or East Bear

Rear bumper Vertex or Origin Streamline

Dmax 20mm Vented Wings

Dmax 40mm Rear Overfenders

OEM Kouki spoiler is staying put and the rear will be finished with one of our Dmax Roof spoilers


Car will then be sent for a full respray and again will staying with the Midnight purple.

Im Scouring every forum and yahoo auctions in japan for some 10J Fronts and maybe 12J Rears.


I need a 2871R turbo or a HKS GTRS either will do if anyone wants to sell one :)

After a few weeks of looking i found nothing in ireland wheel wise for this project.

After putting the white Work rezax on temporarily the colour combo works well with the midnight purple, so i set about finding a set of Works XD9's brand new in japan, these were discontinued in december 2013 so not easy found now especially in white and 10j.

All went quiet on this for a few weeks till i decided on the full exterior setup.

As it stands its just ready for mapping and should make nice power, hardest decision is who to send it too!

Exterior is sorted ive everything bought and paid for, all genuine aero from japan needless to say this slowed everything down as its not cheap lol.

Ive teamed up with Kaber Performance so got to fitting some awesome adjustable suspension arms (Available through us)

Out with the old in with the new

Yeah if there's one thing i've learned in the rwd community anyways it's that you should go exactly with how you want the car to look. People will question your plans but usually the majority like it when the plan comes together...

Just had a good offer on it really, i have been thinking of going with the Tomei anyway so it worked out well for both of us as he got a hard to find hks turbo as well. Everyone is a winner and i can go for a few more ponies as it should make 20-40 hp more and should be real reliable as they are old skool journal bearing
