You can seal off the seat belt holes. But there's still 4 gaping holes between you and the elements.

Everyone in here is being a piece of shit including myself. All of you need to take one big ole chill pill, orally, anally, idgaf. Mind yall's own business.

Just seal the shit and be safe. Christ. It's not hard nor expensive and it will prevent assholes like me in the future.

BRAWL SPEEDSTAR · 03-13-2017, 11:57 AM

I have pics of/can name a decent amount of cars from the 90's - early 2000's with crazy offsets, unreasonable camber, etc.; but I get what you're saying Silverarrow, usually 90's-2000's style is functional ride height, slightly dished wheels, stocky body, etc. But this is besides the point, I agree that OP should definitely seal everything off to prevent any hazards to other drivers or himself.

These decisions seem kind of "spur of the moment" and need a bit more foresight before finalizing anything.

No one has called anything into question except for why you don't seal up the rear wheel wells. It does not inhibit your ability to do anything, just keeps your interior cleaner & makes the car a bit more pleasant to drive (though with what you've done so far it'll already drive like butt).

Quoted for Truth.

There is no sense in arguing about this, but DUDE, you are going to want to seal them up. Aint no one docking "style points" (or adding them for that matter) for leaving the wells open. It's just simply a drive-ability thing.

Don't dig you heals into the ground about it until you drive it and track it, all I'm asking, keep an open mind about closing those holes. (see what I did there... open/closed...

)

Also, ask anyone REAL RACER that has tubbed their front wells instead of just cutting them...

240sx_sr20det · 03-13-2017, 04:40 PM

I've defended you in this thread, but I, too, would advise blocking the holes somehow. You definitely don't want to ruin the fresh interior you just worked so hard on.

AscendaShogun · 03-13-2017, 04:42 PM

We're all haters. No matter how constructive the criticism.

TheRealSy90 · 03-13-2017, 10:57 PM

Four simple little plates to cut out and plug those holes with.
I wasn't talking a whole new wheel well extended to the over lol, just the openings.

codyzsilvia · 03-14-2017, 05:15 AM

This thread is hilarious now.

fatduece · 03-14-2017, 10:56 AM

Lmao! I don't think anyone one could have foreseen what this feller was going to do after the first 2 pages.

On a serious note, this build went from cool to retarded.

Jorgs_7 · 03-14-2017, 02:45 PM

Build was awesome.

But,

lol @ those quarter panels. So, so foolish.

di-devol · 03-14-2017, 02:49 PM

Ok, well anyway. Updates?

I got popcorn.

bataangpinoy · 03-14-2017, 09:46 PM

just seal up the holes and it'll be fine

As much as I love this car, thread and build, I also despise it.

Please, for the sake of future-proofing the chassis, just get some rear tubs in there!

My last S14 required some arch work to fit my wheels, I never did anything other than cut them open.. huge mistake.

You're in Canada, I'm in the UK. The conditions aren't far apart, only your winters are so much more harsh! It's not like there's a PS13 as clean as yours up for sale that often, neither are they cheap like an E36 would be.

I've seen it done before on a PS13, but the images are dead, else I would have shared them. It's worth the extra few hundred dollars just to prolong the life of the chassis! So what if true Shakotan heroes don't do it, I would imagine a reshell in Japan would be significantly cheaper.

I doubt you'll listen, but I bet you'll wish you'd done it one day down the line.

Nice, ya looks like that'll work out well

Pblesh85 · 05-25-2017, 06:14 AM

Where can you drive this ? Is this a show car ?

I get the style and look your going after. But I don't know where you can drive a car that low.

Driving it is the fun part, hope you get to enjoy it.
