s13 build up - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

gospdracer90 · 07-30-2009, 09:11 PM

so iv been through a few cars i had a s13 when i was 14yo sold it to a toolbag for a good amount had an 02 impreza ..still not old enough to drive and then got an 92 mr2 that i loved, until someone in a civic hit me and totaled my car..next came my 97 sc300 my cruiser that was ran over by an 18 wheeler

so heres what im working on now its the biggest build iv done might i add im going into my 2nd yr of college im still young so im getting alot of help from cousins friends and my brother

this started with me picking up 2 s13's from a guy in Connecticut (if i can find the guy to show him the finished product that would be awesome) and one of the cars had a s14 sr20 but the car was totaled and rusted so i wasnt even going to attempt to fix it and the second car was a red shell which is the one pictured, the white car was stripped down to nothing even the subframe was taken out it was a box of metal and im still working on selling off the rest of the parts to finish my car, i have limited my life down to work and school...which is difficult as a college kid trust me
we then picked up a z32 shell that we parted out and sold everything we could and took the front brakes and tried to get the rears but accidentally junked the car with one of the rear calipers so were staying with stock rear brakes for now ..
motor plans will come before next summer

but its a 92 s13 and my plan is 50mm rear overfender 20mm fronts along with a full kit ...my whole plan is just to have an extremly good looking clean car with suspension arms coilovers ect
the motor is going to be a stock s14 sr20
the interior is going to be simple i got rid of the ugly gray carpet for the black one and the stock seats im going to get redone along with the cloth door panels ...
the car also has manual windows so tht has to get changed ...
i have the engine bay painted already along with the calipers and subframe...

i dont have many good pics just a few camera phone pics for now but as progress goes along i will get more up

Are those 350z wheels I see with a 300zx front calibers?

looks like fun. My vert is going to look like that this winter hopefully. and Run over by an 18 wheeler huh.? Got pics of that. Sounds like a not so fun time.

well i technically dont have a license for another few weeks and i didnt at the time that my car was demolished but i do have pics to put up on that one ... but yeah 300zx brakes and 350z wheels..i wanted to put the 300zx stock wheels on there just to be able to roll it around but it was hitting the caliper which i found odd so i found these rims laying around so im selling the 300zx wheels for tires and more crap for this thing

i cant find the other pics i think my brother has it but the guy literally fell asleep at the wheel with my car parked on the side of a pretty busy street and he hit my car and turned it sideways and the back wheels ran over the back of my car..when i first saw it ..it seriously looked like a pile of scrap metal from the back
