Marino's S13: RB26 Build
Okay, so I bought this last month as my first car, so far ive been trying to freshen it up a little bit and make it seem newer.
Some pictures from the listing http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1931/dsc5029cs6.jpg http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/517/dsc5031fw4.jpg http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/222/dsc5024ex6.jpg http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1145/dsc5035tt3.jpg Random pics from when I finally got it home http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9825/img5114uv8.jpg http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1...6931439py7.jpg http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/4061/img5133zv2.jpg http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/1459/img5134wo1.jpg http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/2047/img5136yi4.jpg New stereo http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/2814/img5185vi6.jpg http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1910/img5160yi8.jpg http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/9948/img5163uy8.jpg http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6023/img5168kx0.jpg http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/6280/img5171gz2.jpg Not the best but obviously a big upgrade. I still have 3 way pioneer speakers for the door, and I might get a matching 3 way set for the rear speakers now that circuit city is dieing. Also, you can see my handmade shift boot from a bandanna. I personally love the way it looks, and cant wait to see how it looks with my shift knob, if I ever get it. Drivers carpet cleaning Before http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2882/img5188jk1.jpg http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9099/img5190ik0.jpg After http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/2343/img5208vx4.jpg http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5849/img5209gy3.jpg Passenger carper cleaning Before http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1751/img5196ja8.jpg http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/9638/img5197cs6.jpg After http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5825/img5215ln5.jpg http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5815/img5214cw6.jpg The flash makes the stains more visible than they are. They're pretty much invisible now. Next time I take out the seats [to put something legit in hopefully] I will steam the carpet. Seat Upgrade http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/1086/img5195tu3.jpg http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/844/img5198lj1.jpg http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/9065/img5202ar7.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/4869/img5217tw0.jpg http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/4546/img5219ez7.jpg No that is not a shadow on the old seat covers. :mrgreen: I hate the factory fabric, so I upgraded to some cheapo but imo decent looking seat covers. The oem seats also had abit of tear/general wornoutness. I tried to make it look more realistic by putting the adjustment cover over the seat cover, which imo, really makes seat covers look ALOT better. Whats coming in the mail http://www.frsport.com/cart_resize.p...hiftKnob_1.jpg http://i8.ebayimg.com/07/i/001/29/bd/dffd_1.JPG http://www.ipexmotoring.com/tail/tl_s13.jpg What Id like to get soon -NRG detachable hub -Viper 5901 Alarm -Project Mu Pedals -SR20Det - Pretty much a stock conversion with an exhaust. No serious power adders. -PoweredByMax Coilovers - With a set of the softer springs so I don't kill my ass when im off the track. -Pignose bumper with the "pignose" part shaved - I never saw this done, and I thought it would look better. Also with a lip. -Mesh Wheels - There's a set I want, but I have no idea what they are, and no one else seems to know either. Ill post a pic soon. -S13 Digital Climate Control -Cover various interior parts with some kinda better fabric/leather. -Broadway mirror Much farther into the future -S13 Front end conversion -Tra Kyoto Rocket Bunny Over Fenders All Around -6 Pt Roll Cage -PoweredByMax Steering knuckle upgrade -Adjustable seat buckets -Vertex lip kit -5 lug swap -Volk, SSR, or Work Wheels These are the wheels I currently want but I cant figure out what they are. Everyone who has them found them in the junkyard on old 240z and 240sx models. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3...269ckh2ja4.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1825/1ae2bae4ez8.jpg http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8...ndom005lp1.jpg http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2...ndom006fv3.jpg http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/5...ture183tq2.jpg http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6...2775qz8cx0.jpg Quote:

I have some more tubes that turn it into a CAI. Those are going on once I get my APEXi filter. I also cleaned most of the engine bay with WD40 and a rag. I want to paint my valve cover now, but I need the car, and the cover will take a few days. (its not gonna be one solid color) |
looking good
|
clean coupe
|
looks nice man good to see nice coupes still showing up.
|
NICE!!! I'm looking to pick up a coupe once i start driving and i'll have two projects ahhaha

I wanted to attempt snow drifting today, but the amount of snow on the streets was to much. Ive never seen this much snow ever.

Cracked Dash! The other night I was driving home from work. I hit a pothole, and my dashlights turned off. This is normal in my car, so I started slamming the dash as usual. They didnt come back on, so I started slamming harder untill they came back. I wake up the next day to find the cracks. Now im really ****ing mad at myself, and I must rewire everything to prevent this from happening. :mad: Im not sure weather I should spend an arm and a leg to get a perfect dash, or just recover this one. |
You could pick up a new one..Or if you want, Cover it with like a cloth or something...Like how you went unique with the bandana shifter...Maybe Zebra print dash? Something crazy like that. haha
|
Zebra print would be crazy. Ive seen it done on the door panels. I dunno if I should go that far yet on a stockish car tho, maybe in the future.

Ebay pipe [which had to be cut in a few spots to fit good >:)] with an Apex'I filter. http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/917...3161166329.jpg JDM S13 key light with a Silvia badge key. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/721...3872001082.jpg http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1787/img53892011986.jpg Results of a ten hour detail job. Wash+Swirl X+Clay bar+Wax Im really proud of this, I can finally see my self in my paint, and there's no more cloudy spots. I need to repeat the process next time because there's still a few blemishes that are bothering me. I need to take a picture with my moms camera because mine doesn't do it justice. I ordered an Apex'I N1 dual today as well. |
