OK so this is how it looked when i picked it up.





Then i installed the HKS HiPower exhaust!



Then i drove it around and realized it need new subframe bushings...



So i went to SPL parts and order these bad jacksons!



It took a whole day to get them in but i did it!





After that i decided to put my coilovers on.





and the strut bar

[Supra989]

So here it is all dropped now.



After that i realized it would probably need a new alignment so i bought these.



and got a free dvd too



So this is where i stand if the weather gets better by tomorrow ill have the arms all on the car waiting to get aligned....

Nice parts and car, but this isn't worthy of a "build" thread :P

[Supra989]

what should i call it then...? parts im putting on my car thread? i think its a slow build

[MTalon]

you should wait till you have a million dollars in parts that youve installed and logged.. then a build up11 keeps me entertained for longer.

on a side note to put solid bushings in ive heard to put them in the freezer for awhile and it makes install alot easier..

and your footwork is BALLER

[Supra989]

Thanks. yea i did that for an hour but they were still a bizitch to get in. wasnt hard just too time tweaking things

Looking well, not a fan of the "half moon" control arms tho.

You MUST get an alignment or you just wasted a lot of money!! ;-)

I thought s14's had the full moon RUCA like S13's, who'da thunk it.

[jeks180]

personally i like the idea of a build from the begining thread

looking good

[Kira]

Was your subframe making a clunking/banging sound when you went over bumps before you put those solid bushings in?

[Supra989]

yea and when i shifted and applied the brakes. its a common problem on these cars...



Ok so im in the middle of putting my arms on and it seems like every time i get new parts i need a new tool... so i have to go to sears abd buy a huge wrench...

[Supra989]

Ok so I finished check it out and tell me whats up?

Before...








AFTER!!!

Nice dude, Lovin the car

[arabdk]

nice car very clean

just wondering

can u put s13 full moon ruca's on s14's

if u just slip them under the coils before bolting them on?

[Supra989]

i have no idea is there something wrong with the half moons?

[arabdk]

no there is'nt but i am wanting to use my s13's rucas on my friends s14 lol

lol no there is nothing wrong with the half moons, s13's have full moon design rucas, and s14/s15 have half moon design, so putting half moon rucas on s13 isnt gonna happen. i had some s15 rucas (same half moon design as s14 but more beefier and reinforced ) that i tried to put in my s13 but it would not clear my coilovers. s14 and s15 is interchangeable though.

[Supra989]

idk try it.

[Supra989]

ok So i just ordered some tie rods and tie rod ends and new boots should be here next week!

[Supra989]

S14 SR20det has just been ordered!!!

[fc3s drifter]

I bought those aluminum bushings too, I HEAR everything now. lol

[brian3676]

were those bushings hard to install like did u need a press to install them or do they just kinda hammer in?

[Dougdeezy]

i likey, kouki front time i say
