Yoshi Shindo's MotorMavens Seattle S14 build

This new forum is a huge upgrade from the old one!

Here's my S14 that I've been building for the past couple years. Originally bought the car for a cheap daily, then I ended up getting coils and wheels to make it looks a bit better. After blowing up the stock KA24DE my plans were just to rebuild it and convert it into a 5 speed, however I ended up buying an SR20DET. The simple engine rebuilt turned into a full car build.



This is how it looked after I got the wheels powder coated. Only had these Rota P45Rs for couple months before I sold them and got some real wheels.



After noticing the car had been in a wreck by the previous owner I decided that i wanted to go with a tube front end. All the fabrication is going to be done by Ray Stonehocker from Garage Autohero.



This is how the S14 currently sits. Ray should be starting on the full cage and tube front end soon. I'm excited to see how everything turns out

Got a 9k Racing hood vent. Install was pretty straight forward but making it line up right was the hard part.



Ray got most of my tube front finshed. Just need to add in the dimple die plates and mounts for the intercooler, hood pins, and fenders.



Also after waiting a month I finally got my Stack ST8130 display!

First time my car seen the outside world in over a year. Ray is starting the cage hopefully by the end of this week.

Ray did my knuckles and I notched my coilovers. More angle and camber!
