Smile Im NEW and this is My First little Build/progress thread.

My first car was a red kouki s14 build it from ground up had it for around 3 years had plenty of fun with it but decided to jump onto much bigger things and more of a challenge! so parted the s14 out and it was painful taking it apart sold all the parts and sold the car as stock been looking at second gs's for about a year and once i found a good deal down in san diego i couldn't resist and flew down there and picked it up the day it was posted. Ive been collecting 5 speed parts for the gs for about a month now and im going to pull the motor out this saturday. and begin the Manual Swap (: more pictures to come!!
