Smile My First Little Bulid/Progress (:

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!!

looks like i got some bad news that i just found out now. and would have to postpone the 5 speed so couple months ago i got a speeding ticket with my s14...



and went to court and plead not guilty so they extended to 02-09-11 on a weds and i totally forgot FML... now my ticket got doubled... so now im looking at $800 of fine...and what really sucks is that the COP didn't even show up to court that day so i could of easily plea not guilty and case would have been closed



so i'm going to court tomorrow and hopefully they would take off the assessment fee.

Wow the S14 looked nice, cant wait to see how your gs turns out. How did you take apart your tail lights? Did you baked them?

I hate to sound like a douche...but those exhaust tips are :thumbdown: , but to each their own.

Everything else looks great!
