View Full Version : Black Track S14

Here she is in all her glory, the 99.9% bog standard '94 S14. It came with a set of Enkei Circlar's the rears being half decent sizes too with good tyres all round.
It's had a smack as you can see, but with it being so long since I've skidded a car it's only gonna get worse so no harm there really!

I started out by swapping all the bent shit from it's little accident with straight stuff from my S14A shell, as you can see in the pics it needed a wishbone, tension rods, and the bracket for the tension rod in the chassis leg which were all fucked.

All the straight stuff from my shell, including rose-jointed tension rods.

Got coilovers from danny86, Tein fronts and Kei Office rears.

Fronts fitted

Rears in too

Interior wise I picked up a Recaro last week, and got a rail during the week so threw that in, fitted the old boss off my S14A and the Sparco suede wheel, fired in my trusty old Marpels chisel gearknob from my 180 and whipped out the spring from the handbrake for easy pulling.

Got the diff out of the car last night and woke up to it after being welded by my bro so I fitted that earlier and it's unbelievably solid and locks up sweet. No pictures as the phone was dead last night and early this morning :(
The shit that came off it, including the lovely standard shocks in it since new. Also took out the standard dump valve and pipework while I was at it and blocked off the pipework to get my flutter ooonnn.

Did a bit of beating and rolling earlier today so the rim had a bit of room to move.
http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr156/driftireland/4c787b28.jpg
That's pretty much it for now, still have to take a porta-power to the rear leg, service it, get an air filter and some spacers, half decent tyres for the 9Js on the front and and she'll be ready for her first outing!
As she stands as of 30 minutes ago

I didn't touch the main part of the damage at all, waiting for a buddy with something to push the leg over as it's nicely bent.
Toying with the idea of keeping the standard filter and exhaust for its first outing for extra lol-points, it's surprisingly quick ?!
Hay there's nothing wrong with standard exhausts lol
This would actually look hot with a bit of work, maybe rear overfenders if they could be got on the cheap, if your looking for extra lol iv a gay front bumper, I mean punto fast and furious shit right here

Haha! Nah it'll look bad ass with the spaced 9J Circulars on the front and some 16" OEM Skyline/S14A rims on the back and sparks flying clipping the wall down the straight in Mondello :D Nothing gonna be added to this bodywork wise, I was always just a wee bit afraid of slapping the 180, and with this I really won't give a fuck at all

Good harness needed so, Jealous, best of luck with her
Where'd this term "missile" come out of?
Is it a fancy word for tramp? I cant keep up with all this new terminology :rolleyes:
i assume missile was coined as there sole purpose is to be destroyed . . . as with these drift cars . . . no holding back
sweet car neway man!

Booked in for Portlaoise on the 6th so that shall be this fine steed's first day out.
Bugger all updates on this either, fitted an AutoGauge boost gauge, got some new plugs, filter and oil and she'll be right as rain for PL. Still have to get some spacers so we can drive it without the spacesavers!
The good side

Gonna leave everything engine wise standard, filter and exhaust for extra lol-points, car feels quick enough and should be grand for some fun the Portlaoise as is without firing money at it yet.

Little update, serviced this and fitted both wheels and spacers (had to get some 5mm slip ons because the wheel was still hitting the spring), chopped off the exhaust and a few other little things before Portloaise on Saturday.
We got there eventually after what seemed like a lifetime on the motorway on Sunday, with us both getting plenty of track time. Eventually I was getting pretty close to the bottom container

Went pretty well on the day for a car with just a welder and a set of coilovers

So yeah, not much of an update really but since the last half arsed one I've had it in Mondello practicing and Jay borrowed it, got a cage and other logging related parts, and used it at Round 1 in Ennis, still sporting it's original air box and some ridiculous lock.
Here's some pics from it's travels over the last month or so

In Ennis! (Ennis is not Fermoy)
http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr156/driftireland/368-622x414.jpg
Plans in the near future include;
Straightening out the rear of the car and chassis leg
Picking up and spraying some Navan skirts off Gem
Getting a JDM rear bumper on
Putting on the 16x8 Advan Onis I've bought for it
Getting some decent rear pads and discs
Getting a decent bucket seat and rail
Making up a ghetto exhaust (as it doesn't have one)
Eventually going to re-shell it into my white 97 shell sometime later in the year
When were you in fermoy with it?? Jay had it flat in Ennis anyway!! Good yoke to go!
