My new S14A Silvia - at long last

[Administrator]

Sooo I sold the 180 fancying a change and something new to get stuck into styling wise. Spotted this thing on donedeal the night I sold the 180, and went down and fired a deposit on it and eventually got it back to our house in Cork last night, with thanks to Paul and Chucky

It needs work as you'll see but I bought an NA automatic pearl white S14A earlier this month to replace the front on this one; wings, bonnet, slam panel, bumper bar etc and break what's left from both

So it's a 1997 S14A Silvia with a genuine 82k kms on the clock

The car before the tip

Cusco clutch

Electronics:

A'Pexi Power FC with commander
Blitz boost controller
HKS boost gauge in pillar pod
Defi oil temp, oil pressure and water temp gauges with link controller

Interior:

SSR SP1 Professors (9J +24 back, 8.5J +10 front)

Cleanest fixed back Bride I've ever seen



Defi's





Ings+ bumper in biiiiiiits



Brand new bumper brackets and stuff



Scary clean



Intaaaaacoooooolaaaa







Also has brand new front panel, the passo wing is brand new (prov sold) and the bonnet is brand new from Nissan

Plans thus far;

Fit front panel, paint shit, possibly an Origin bumper or if I can get an Ings+ one, change wheels maaaaybe, seat, few other bits and work on some decent ride height and fitment. After that I'll just be driving it until my insurance is up in Oct and then it'll most likely hit the track on the regular.

Whoop, should be home this weekend.

Yeah it's a really well spec'd car, a lot of tyte goodies, probably some I've missed on that spec too.

Bride is so clean I'm nearly afraid to sit in it? Might not sell it, but we'll see, I love me a nice recliner but if it's track bound I might hold onto it, really tight seat

tidy car man, no expense spared on it , i think a GReddy intercooler is always a good sign if u know wat i mean. sumbody only wanted the gooood sh*t.

pity the seat is in such bad shape
