Quick shots of the car. It's daily driven, used and abused. Car gets tracked as often as possible, and gets beat on as well. No use in building a car if you're not gonna use the parts right? Anti-Hardparker for life here.
So here are some new quick shots. We were bored, and left for the mall deck at about 11pm...got back home around midnight, so a really quick and impromptu thingy. I need to spend more time with my lens...
So anywho, here are some snapshots:

Mmmm...Love this car (S14). Just exactly what I want to build when I start my next project, even down to the mods (I would like an RB instead of SR, but wouldn't mind either one).
Great job! Beautiful car...even better, you ENJOY it and YOU built it. I bet it's fun!

That pece is bad *** bro. By any chance did you have this down at Atco Raceway maybe 3 weeks back? Looks very familiar...I was lined up against one that looked just like yours but at the staging area I waited back and let someone else go....was a Civic behind it.
makes me wanna get one.

Actually, I've not been to Atco in like 2 years, so def wasn't me. I need to get this thing out and get some times tho for sure...only downfall is that the car is setup so much for grip, that i'll hafta take off the rear sway bar and dial out uthe coilvers to have it launch well heheh.Originally Posted by Godson

Thanks man! Def, the entire car was done by me, aside from painting the front bumper and having the one water temp gauge recessed into the stock cig lighter area....every suspension piece, rod bolt, motor mount bolt, gauge wire lol...all by me at the house...was a very fun car do build.
And for the MK3 lovers:
It's got DSR Turbo Cams from his old Turbo VR6 Mk4, completly shaved by himself, painted black with added flattening agent (yea, clearcoated flatish black hehe), Shmidt wheels....just a really clean car!
Wow, your S14 is truly amazing. It's perfect. Those Track Editions work PERFECT with that car! 400 WHP is not bad either! Props to you!

Well if you ever get some time toget that beast down the track bro post omething up in the locals cause I'd love to see that run. The guy I saw a few weeks back was running high 13's all night. Didnt get a chance to talk to him or anything so I have no idea what was done to the car but I could see an intercooler through the front grill.

Lol, yes and no. We wanted the flat black look, but wanted to do it right.Originally Posted by aramax
does the vw has primer paint?!
It's regular black base coat, with flattening agent added. Then clear cloat was applied, and the whole car was wet sanded. It's funny, but you could literally polish the car

I did run ages ago when it was making appox 300 hp. It ran a 13.1, with traction issues to the tune of 3 second, and 2.5 60's...awful! In the grand scheme of things, the thing should see mid/low 12's on street tires, and well into 11's with slicks and softer supsenion rates (all with a real driver behind the wheel). We'll see what I could actually do hehe. Im' a road racer, not a drag racer, so it's all different hehe.Originally Posted by Godson
