S14a Project

Good too see more koukis getting put back to glory, I'v a kinda daily-kinda project going on with my own as well.

What do ya make of the quality of the vertex kit? And it may be a bit late now but a hacksaw makes the collars a million times easier to get out plus it saves smashing your hand with a lump hammer 46 times

I actually changed my mind on the kit as I wanted to go wider and more like a drift kit. Lookin at the Origin kits atm. Saying that I decided getting the engine first was a bigger priority haha. The kit was very high quality. I compared it to a few other and the front bumper in particular was much heavier and way stronger. I would highly recomend it.
This will be my daily... but could be a year or two before I get the chance to drive it haha

Update so far I decided to change the vertex kit for somethin wider but I will get that when i have the rest of the car finished. Decided the engine needed to be got first so picked up one out of an s15. Tomei Cams and steel gasket is the only mods the owner knew of as it came in from japan like that. Was running 350bhp ish with no problems so we shall see what happens.
Gearbox came with it to.
I purchased the Driftworks front lcas and tension rods just have to get the subframe off and powdercoated and Il have htem on too.
Have the whole interior stripped bare back to the metal. All i have left is the sound deadening. Any tips to remove this with out leaving alot of the glue residue and a pain in the ass to get off? Spraying the whole interior purple and dont want that left in there.
Will be building a steel foot rest for the passenger side aswel and bold in cage.

Also does anyone know if tubed arches will pass the Nct? I will be getting the whole car checked over and signed off by an engineer when its finished so Im assuming this should be ok?
