S14a Kouki Project 2012/2013

[JP89]

Well been meaning to fire this up here with along time, but only finally getting down to it now really

Car when I got it:

Bought this S14a at the start of this year NA (sr20de), with big intentions of getting it Turbo within weeks of that time, but that did not go exactly to plan unfortunately, and now the plan is to have it finished by the time the 2013 IDC starts



First thing I did to the car was jack her up and drop the rear subframe and see what I was dealing with.

>



While this was dropped I picked up a 2 way off of Bart on here, tried fitting this to discover that my subframe and diff were entirely different. So again thanks to Bart who sorted me out with a rear subframe to fit the 2-way into.

While on the ground I fitted a 5 stud conversion that I picked up from another member on here, Ian G's brother, another sound man.

Then as I was putting the subframe back up I fired on locking collars that I had off my old ps13 to try tighten things up a bit.

>



After putting all this back together it got parked up for a few months to let funds build up a bit and to pick up few bits along the way such as wheels, vented wings, front bumper etc etc etc.

Then about 6 weeks ago now I decided I was sick of seeing it parked up so arranged a transporter and shipped it over to Mike Deane to do the engine conversion he sought out for me back in May.
So off it went looking like this:

Before the new engine went in, it got a full check up and clean down, new turbo gaskets, as well as a Cosworth head gasket that I picked up from Barry Motorsport. While fitting the engine, Mike also fitted bigger front brakes and pads, front tension rods, front mount incooler, exhaust system, walbro fuel pump, battery etc.

So I got the car back during the week looking like this :
